Supply chain & logistics

Catch spoilage while it can be stopped.

Produce is lost when nobody sees a cold room warming or a truck stuck in the heat. Sunspica Supply is researching sensors and phone alerts for cold storage and transport, so operators can act while produce can still be saved.

The problem

Where perishables are lost

Invisible temperature

Cold rooms and trucks are often checked by hand, so problems surface only when produce has already spoiled.

Delays in transit

Hours lost at loading points and on the road eat into shelf life.

No shared record

Without a condition history, disputes over quality between sender and receiver are hard to settle.

Too little cold capacity

Storage is unevenly spread, so growers far from it sell fast at low prices.
