How Strella is Optimizing and Safeguarding Your Supply Chain
In the fast-paced world of fresh produce, where every degree of temperature or whiff of ethylene can mean the difference between peak freshness and costly spoilage, Strella is leading the charge with cutting-edge technology that puts data-driven insights at your fingertips. Founded on the principle that "Produce talks. We listen," Strella empowers warehouses, ripeners, and retailers to monitor and control environmental conditions like never before. By harnessing proprietary sensors, machine learning, and intuitive dashboards, Strella's solutions minimize waste, boost efficiency, and deliver consistent quality. Let's dive into two of their flagship products: the Warehouse Monitoring system and their Automated Banana Ripening platform.
Safeguarding Your Warehouse with Real-Time Monitoring
Imagine a warehouse where potential issues—like a door left ajar in cold storage or unintended ethylene exposure—are flagged instantly, preventing significant financial losses. Strella's Warehouse Monitoring solution turns this vision into reality with wireless, battery-powered sensors that seamlessly mount on any surface. These proprietary devices track critical environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ethylene, providing unparalleled resolution tailored to your facility's unique needs.
What sets Strella apart is its focus on proactive protection. The system delivers real-time, custom alerts for any environmental changes, ensuring you're never caught off guard. Whether it's produce at risk of spoilage or accidental exposure to ripening gases, these sensors have you covered. Operations teams can access all this data through a user-friendly dashboard, viewed on a custom floorplan via the web at any time. This level of visibility not only safeguards your inventory but also helps you understand your produce on a deeper level, optimizing storage conditions and reducing shrink.
For leaders juggling multiple facilities, this means peace of mind and operational efficiency. No more manual checks or guesswork—Strella's monitoring turns data into actionable intelligence, helping you maintain the highest standards of quality from farm to shelf.
Achieving Perfect Bananas with Automated Ripening
Banana ripening has long been considered an "art," often leading to inconsistencies across facilities and heavy reliance on experienced ripeners. Strella's Ripening platform transforms this into a science, automating the process for better results with less effort. Using wireless IoT sensors placed directly in ripening rooms, the system measures ethylene, carbon dioxide, oxygen, temperature, and humidity. Advanced machine learning models then approximate the ripening stage from these environmental readings, issuing precise recommendations to hit your target color and quality every time.
The benefits are game-changing for retailers and distributors:
- Reduced Labor and Training Time: Say goodbye to the burden on ripeners—Strella's electronic QC platform allows for easy input of quality checks, live viewing of room data, and algorithm-driven suggestions to output more consistent bananas.
- Increased Sales and Reduced Shrink: By achieving optimal ripening, you minimize waste and maximize shelf appeal, driving higher sales.
- Larger Basket Sizes: Consistent, high-quality bananas encourage customers to buy more, boosting overall revenue.
- Improved Color Consistency: No more variability; Strella ensures uniform results across batches.
For even greater automation, the platform integrates with Thermaltech PLCs to control rooms based on ripening models automatically. Strella works closely with retailers to customize dashboards and data outputs, aligning perfectly with your operational goals. The result? Better bananas that delight customers and streamline your supply chain.
