Process Overview

Batch arrival to treated crate in 3 minutes.

Ecogear connects to your existing sorting line. Here is the process.

Scan

A camera or existing sorting-line sensor records each arriving crate's batch data: color index, surface firmness readings, and ambient temperature at receiving.

Analyze

The Ecogear AI model predicts each crate's remaining shelf life and creates a ranked treatment queue. It flags high-risk crates for immediate action before they continue down the line.

Treat

Priority crates receive food-safe coating at your existing dip, spray, or wax-roller point. The dashboard confirms every treated batch in real time.

Track

After treatment, the system sends each batch's shelf-life forecast to the Ecogear dashboard. Retailers can receive downstream freshness data reducing short-code complaints at delivery.

What is needed to begin.

You bring
  • Basic sorting-line sensor feed or manual batch data entry
  • Existing-line coating point, dip, spray, or roller
  • Internet access for the dashboard
  • One staff member for the first three trial runs
We provide
  • AI model access and dashboard setup
  • Coating supply for your trial volume
  • Remote setup help and integration guide
  • Staff training and go-live checklist

Inquiry to first treated batch: usually 3 to 4 weeks.

Week 1
Facility review and sensor check

Our field team reviews your sorting-line setup, verifies sensor compatibility, and identifies the coating point. Most facilities complete this remotely.

Weeks 2 to 3
Sample coating shipped, dashboard set up

Trial coating ships within 5 business days after assessment sign-off. In parallel, the AI dashboard is configured for your crop types and sensor format.

Week 4
Live run and staff training

Your team runs its first live treatment batch with Ecogear support on standby. Staff training covers the dashboard, treatment queue, and daily reporting workflow.

Week 5 onward
Monitor and refine

Shelf-life data starts accumulating. Your team gets the feedback needed to adjust application rates and improve grading decisions through the season.
