Inteligistics Improves Monitoring Efficiency – Produce Blue Book

Salinas, CA (November 4, 2024) — Inteligistics continues to drive efficiencies and lead the digital transformation of the perishable food supply chain with a focus on monitoring and reducing cut-to-chill time from field to refrigerator.

“The time between harvest and chilling is critical to determining product quality, safety and shelf life, especially for high-value, perishable crops such as berries and leafy greens,” said Gary Fleming, CEO of Inteligistics. “Most companies have a cumbersome manual process to track products before they reach a warehouse or processing plant for pre-cooling, from field requisitions to receiving records, making it difficult to identify bottlenecks and problems.”

InteliField is the cornerstone for collecting and managing Inteligistics cut-to-chill data, which helps manage delivery from the field to the chiller or processor to optimize cut-to-chill transition times. Digital tickets, which a driver can automatically generate in the Inteligistics app or a pre-configured on-premise kiosk and integrate into the customer’s ERP or WMS system, are just the beginning.

InteliField is a proven, reliable and flexible system that can accommodate multiple data streams. Wireless trackers and localized geofencing can follow each field truck as it moves through a facility, identifying patterns, bottlenecks and problems with individual loads.

The addition of GPS-enabled OBDII sensors tracks the truck’s location minute by minute from field to site, adding critical truck maintenance information communicated in real time. In addition, time and temperature sensors attached to pallets in the field (ideally the first and last pallet of each load) provide accurate tracking of the environmental conditions of products as they move from the field to the refrigerator.

“Many companies already collect large amounts of data, often through manual tagging or records inserted into huge spreadsheets. The key to using this data to quickly respond to potential problems and identify opportunities for systemic improvement is the ability to instantly see the data in a way that highlights what’s important,” said Lawrence Mallya, vice president of digital transformation at Inteligistics. “Our reports, dashboards and alerts provide invaluable real-time information so stakeholders can understand what needs immediate attention, what is working, what is not working and what can be improved.”

Research has shown that an hour of delay at 70F or higher can mean a day or more of lost shelf life. Using InteliField to improve product visibility and tracking can provide data that helps companies better understand harvesting, field transport and refrigeration operations. This identifies problems and inconsistencies, allowing companies to take action to improve and streamline their processes. This can have a significant impact on product freshness and quality, allowing companies to sell and deliver more product at the best price.

From a transportation perspective alone, tracking field truck information can help better manage downtime, downtime, and mileage, providing savings of hundreds of dollars per truck per month. For companies with dozens of trucks and thousands of loads per year, the savings can be significant.

InteliField, along with Inteligistics’ revolutionary 1-Click FSMA 204 reporting system and InteliView digital data platform, are part of a suite of innovative applications developed by Inteligistics to help and accelerate the digital transformation of agriculture. The result is access to better information and knowledge, resulting in significant increases in efficiency, reduced waste, improved product quality and increased profits.
