Food waste prevention by predicting remaining shelf-life of fresh produce

Over ons

One-third of all food is wasted. A large portion of this occurs before it even reaches the consumer. We are on a mission to change that. Better understanding leads to effective actions! Retailers are unnecessarily throwing away too much food because they are struggling to predict shelf life and optimise their inventory to sell at peak freshness. Our solution enables retailers to scan produce at distribution centers and at the store to accurately predict days until spoilage. This enables them to improve inventory management and sell produce at the right time. Minimizing food waste. Objectively measuring shelf-life enables buyers to better assess quality and optimize supplier agreements of produce during the season. How it works? Optical sensors attached to a smartphone ‘look’ inside fruit and vegetables and analyse their content. Based on key parameters like sugar levels, water content and other taste factors our artificial intelligence accurately predicts days until spoilage in real-time. This enables anyone to instantly become an expert in freshness assessment. Our software platform analyses trends, helping retailers optimise operations across their supply chain. The result? Less food waste, better quality and more efficient processing.

    "We love it when a plan comes together!" When working together throughout the supply chain to improve quality of strawberries, you're creating the A-Team! #ATeam

    What a weather 🌞 ! Summertime, time for sweet strawberries 🍓🍓🍓 from the cool fridge 😎 ! We want them fresh and crisp, whenever we buy them and ideally keep them for a few days. Strawberry growers and the rest of the supply chain are working day-in, day-out to get them to the store and your fridge ASAP. But often they are in the dark about upcoming quality surprises like remaining shelf-life. It is so great to see that companies like Albert Heijn and Bakker are open to work with a start-up like OneThird in an early stage and develop a quality system which will disrupt the way they assess quality and take faster, smarter decisions to avoid unnecessary waste and cost and get produce to the consumer as fresh as possible. Changes they have made to the supply chain, acting on the data OneThird provides, will get strawberries in the store at least a day faster, and rewards growers who are able to delivery premium quality! I think this is an excellent example how technology can help transform the food supply chain and meet the United Nations SDG challenges they've committed themselves to. So proud of the whole OneThird and Bakker team who worked so hard on making this a reality! Read more about this in this press release: https://lnkd.in/eexwndQv or have a look at the video below!

    It was great to have Laurens Drapers speak to this group from LNV about how producers, distributors and retailers can use real-time quality data to make smarter decisions and save considerable food waste and costs. The food chain is by design international, and the LNV Network can help us to get introduced to local suppliers and support us in various countries faster. This is how our investors like Oost NL actively support OneThird to scale its business internationally!

    The Future of Supermarkets: Competing with Online Retailers Have you ever wondered what the future holds for supermarkets as they compete with online retailers? During a recent visit to the newly renovated REWE Kunkel store in Menningen, Germany, I caught a glimpse of this future, and it's all about enhanced service and adding a touch of fun to the shopping experience. Fresh, Inviting Produce: Seeing all the loose produce back in the produce section was a delight 🍇 🍏 🍐 🍅 . Customers can truly see, smell, and feel (without squeezing!) the different products. This inviting display enhances the overall shopping experience. Innovative Customer Services: REWE has invested in unique services to make shopping more convenient. They have an asparagus peeling machine and even a 🍍 🍍 🍍 pineapple peeling machine that delivers perfectly cut rings or squares at the push of a button. Specialty Offerings: For meat enthusiasts, there’s a fridge dedicated to dry-aged beef 🥩 . If customers ever feel lost, a helpful robot 🤖 is on hand to guide them to their desired products. Interactive Experiences: My favorite innovation is the wine-tasting machine 🍷 , which allows customers to sample new wines and make more confident purchasing decisions. Additionally, the OneThird Avocado 🥑 scanner near the entrance is a huge hit. Customers love ensuring they pick the perfect avocado 🥑 , whether for guacamole tonight or a few days later. This interactive feature not only boosts avocado 🥑 sales but also reduces waste: both in-store and at home 🏡 . Congratulations to the Kunkel Family for creating such an outstanding store. This blend of traditional shopping with modern conveniences is setting a new standard for supermarkets everywhere. https://lnkd.in/esAE2ECD What do you think about these innovations? How is your store adapting to compete with online retailers? Would love to hear in the comments!

    Every day should be 'stop food waste day', thank you for bringing this on top of mind for everyone, Laura Hodgkiss. Together we're increasing CO2 emissions by 10% and use up 25% of our water supply by wasting food. Everyone wastes food, everyone can help avoid it! #starttoday #checkyourfridge #foodwaste #SDG213

    Hardware is hard, but it provides unique data towards actionable insights!

    Just another #hardwarewednesday! This week I want to showcase 🍓 OneThird 🥑 from the Netherlands, who make optical sensors that "look" inside fruit to predict their shelf life. Food stores struggle to sell fruits and vegetables at optimal freshness levels. This results in throwing away a lot of fresh produce. OneThird combats this #foodwaste which results in: 😋 Consumers get better quality! Nothing worse than treating yourself and buying expensive strawberries and realizing most of them are rotten, or buying a rotten avocado you were going to make guac with... 🌱 Improved inventory management for retailers, and potential for better produce agreements between suppliers and stores Their name is also a clever nod to the horrifying fact that 1/3 of all food is wasted. A fantastic #hardwaresolution to a HUGE problem. SaaS would alone not solve this one 😁 The combination of sensing technology + data and AI platform is one I admire! 🥇 🧠 Backstory for this post: We can't code ourselves out of our ongoing parallel crises (food crisis, biodiversity crisis etc). I am sick of impact investors who do not invest in hardware. A huge opportunity missed! Each Wednesday this spring I will therefore post about one cool hashtag #hardwarestartup, to show just how impressive we can be and hopefully reach some minds.

    South Korea has managed something incredible. It recycles 95% of all its food waste. Globally, 1.4 billion tons of food ends up landfilled. But not in South Korea. Everything is turned into fertilizers, animal feed, and biogas there. It's the law! Their fight against food waste started in 2005 when they banned sending food to landfills. One of the biggest success factors: South Koreans pay depending on how much they throw away. Every food scrap has to be carefully separated and collected for recycling. The country has a vast system of high-tech waste management infrastructure, so it's easy for people to use, and efficient to operate. Still, the best waste is no waste. Engaging citizens via laws, community programs, and economic instruments are all powerful tools to get us there. Does your country need this?

    Te hard, te groen of juist overrijp; voor veel klanten is het een enorme uitdaging om een goede avocado te vinden. Onze winkels in Ranst en Veurne hebben nu de Belgische primeur van de avocadoscanner. Dit apparaat vertelt je precies hoe de avocado er van binnen uitziet. Zo maken we boodschappen doen ook in België weer een stukje leuker én dit apparaat draagt bij in onze strijd tegen voedselverspilling. #samenondernemen #voedselverspilling
