Evigence’s FreshSense to Unlock New Era of Freshness Transparency and Traceability

Evigence launched FreshSense, new sensors with patented chemistry-embedded QR codes that provides food companies and cold chain leaders data-driven freshness insights at the case or unit level.

“Our technology will eventually be the death of the date code as we aim to optimize freshness throughout supply chains, inventory, retail and even in consumers' homes. Date codes are terribly inaccurate indicators of food freshness and product quality, leading to tremendous inefficiencies throughout the food industry supply chain – from the distributors all the way to consumers’ homes. Freshness expectations versus reality lead to the waste of perfectly good food, as well as the consumption of unsafe food,” says Evigence co-founder and CEO Yoav Levy. “It is time to take the guesswork out of food freshness to accurately guarantee food safety. The journey from production to consumption is filled with variables that heavily impact quality and freshness. Adding advanced temperature tracking down to the item level, rather than assuming consistency across an entire pallet or shipment, will change how the food industry assesses freshness.” 

Key takeaways:

• The multi-mode scanning capabilities include augmented reality (AR) mobile scanning and automatic production-line vision, and immediately uploads the scanned sensor data to the Evigence Cloud for analysis and visualization that generates in-depth dashboards powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
• One new feature entails freshness management dashboards powered by its proprietary AI and machine learning platform that optimizes every juncture across the supply chain to improve inventory management based on Real Remaining Shelf Life (RSL), ensure compliance and reduce waste.
• Other features include automated early supply chain scanning with automatic data capturing (ADC) technology; advanced multi-scan technology that allows users to simultaneously scan multiple cases of perishables using hands-on AR or product-line vision systems; and FreshSense, the first freshness monitoring sensors with chemistry-embedded QR codes for easy scanning and visual freshness measurement.
