Early Results
Four packing facilities. One season. Measured results across stone fruit, citrus, and pome categories.
Average extra shelf life for treated pilot crates, measured from coating application to first visible spoilage.
Early-access facilities reported a 30 percent or greater cut in produce write-offs during the pilot versus their pre-Ecogear baseline.
Growers treating before shipping reported fewer rejections at regional packing house partners using independent grading.
All figures come from internal monitoring of 4 pilot facilities, 2024-2025 season. Results vary by crop, ambient conditions, and handling practices.
Each entry covers a facility type and crop category. All participants were early-access commercial partners.
Treated crates reached the distribution center with fewer rejection flags than untreated control batches running alongside them on the same line.
AI prioritization flagged about 30 percent of crates as high-urgency. Treating those batches selectively improved the shipment overall while using less coating than blanket treatment.
Integration with an existing Compac sensor feed took under two weeks. AI routing ran without changes to sorting-line hardware.
Crop-specific models enabled mixed-crop AI scoring by batch. Staff reported little intervention for the ranked queue. They followed dashboard recommendations for over 90 percent of batches.
We compared our Autumn Sun peach line side by side for three consecutive pack cycles. Treated crates consistently reached the distribution center with two to three fewer rejection flags. That directly reduced markdown inventory at our retail partner.
The AI prioritization surprised us. We expected to coat everything. Instead, it marked about 30 percent of crates high-urgency and the rest standard. This focused approach significantly reduced coating material cost while improving the shipment overall.
Our Compac integration took less time than expected. The API connection was straightforward, and the team gave us a clear setup guide. Floor staff used the treatment queue within a week of going live.
Trial spots are limited by crop and region. Sample kits ship within 14 days of approval.
