Inteligistics expanding its digital solutions for perishable supply chain

Inteligistics is making its solutions and digitization available to companies throughout the perishable supply chain, according to a news release.

“We’ve helped grower-shipper partners improve efficiencies and cost savings tremendously by merging off-the-shelf hardware with our proprietary cloud-based applications,” Rao Mandava, Inteligistics chairman and president, said in the release. “Our mission is to give companies real-time data for the most accuracy and control of their operations as they move perishable products from the field to packing and distribution, all the way to customers’ receiving docks and store shelves.”

Mandava said in the release the company accomplishes that by incorporating IoT wireless technology and cloud-based systems with streamlined dashboards and user-defined parameters and alerts.

 The release said Inteligistics suite of products includes:

• InteliTemp combines a wireless probe and mobile app to inspect product and track pulp temperatures
• InteliCool is a unique patented cooling solution, optimizes forced air pre-cooling and vacuum-cooling operations
• InteliMonitor uses strategically placed wireless sensors to provide continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity throughout environmentally controlled facilities, protecting the product from adverse conditions and micro-climates
• InteliShip turns trucks into intelligent mobile warehouses with real-time temperature, humidity, shock and location monitoring as well as security throughout the journey
• InteliDock is a warehouse management tool that optimizes staging, loading and dispatch functions by seamlessly interfacing with customer’s warehouse management system and Inteligistics own cold chain management systems

“I’ve worked with several Inteligistics solutions at large grower-shipper companies for fresh produce, where we experienced remarkable efficiency and quality improvements to our product flow and cooling operations,”  Susanne Klose, senior director of research and development for Church Brothers Farms said in the release. “By decreasing the time from cut to cool, and ensuring consistent and optimized cold-chain performance, we are able to supply product to our customers faster and at a dependable quality, for maximum shelf life.”
