Product description

OneThird’s Near-Infrared Fresh Produce Scanner & Platform is a cutting-edge solution designed to revolutionize the fresh produce industry. By combining non-destructive near-infrared (NIR) scanning technology with AI-powered analytics and a cloud platform, this innovative system provides accurate assessments of internal quality metrics and external appearance of produce.

Through precise predictions of shelf life, users can make informed decisions on whether to ship, discount, process, or consume the produce, leading to significant reductions in food waste and improved supply chain efficiency. The system is specifically optimized for tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, and avocados, offering a comprehensive solution for fresh produce companies.

The integration of handheld or in-store scanners with a smart dashboard enables dynamic routing, pricing, and spoilage prevention, enhancing decision-making capabilities throughout the supply chain. By reducing food waste by up to 25% and cutting quality-control labor costs by approximately 50%, this solution has proven to be a game-changer for the industry.

With its cloud-based architecture and scalability, the Near-Infrared Fresh Produce Scanner & Platform promotes greener logistics, reduces carbon footprint, and helps fresh produce companies meet sustainability targets while boosting profitability.

About the Company

OneThird is a Dutch food-tech scale-up created to reduce the global issue of fresh produce waste—an estimated one-third of food produced is never consumed. Their innovative solution combines AI-powered near-infrared scanners with a smart cloud-based platform, enabling growers, distributors, retailers, and even consumers to predict the real remaining shelf life of fruits and vegetables (currently avocados, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes). This actionable insight drives smarter routing, dynamic pricing, and better inventory management, cutting food waste by up to 25% and lowering associated costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and water use. With a mission aligned to UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, OneThird empowers supply chain stakeholders to make environmentally responsible decisions and embrace a more sustainable food system.
