OneThird
AI scanners from Enschede predict the quality and shelf life of vegetables and fruit to reduce waste in the supply chain.
About
OneThird combines optical measurements, including near-infrared, with machine learning to estimate ripeness, internal quality, and remaining shelf life of fresh products. Bakker Barendrecht uses the scanners in its chain for Albert Heijn; OneThird reports use by hundreds of retailers. The results support purchasing, logistics, and quality control, but remain a prediction that staff use alongside other quality information.
AI factor
AI translates optical measurements into an estimate of ripeness and shelf life. Quality staff determine how batches are selected, transported, and sold.
