This application claims priority to Indian Patent Application No. 201811009903 entitled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PRODUCE SHELF LIFE,” filed on Mar. 19, 2018, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Supply chain systems monitor the movement of produce from an originating location through distribution channels to retail establishments.
Illustrative embodiments are shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings and should not be considered as a limitation of the present disclosure:
Described in detail herein is a system and method that receive periodic readings from sensors distributed throughout the produce supply chain that detect ambient characteristics including temperature, humidity, and ethylene exposure. The system utilizes the sensor readings in conjunction with time exposure readings to determine a sensitivity of each type of produce to each of the characteristics. The sensitivity value may be applied along with subsequent readings to determine the remaining shelf life of a product within the supply chain. Shipments in the supply chain can be rerouted or accelerated based on remaining shelf life determination.
In another embodiment, the system receives periodic readings from sensors distributed on unmanned aerial vehicles. The periodic reading determines exposure to temperature, humidity and ethylene during portions of the produce's travel through the supply chain. For example, the unmanned aerial vehicles may take temperature, humidity and ethylene readings at a farm from which the produce originates its trip through the supply chain.
In one embodiment, periodic readings may be taken of the produce at various points in time during the produce's travel through the supply chain. The images may include images recorded from imaging sensors to determine physical characteristics of the produce at different points within the supply chain.
A number of terms used to explain embodiments of the present invention are now discussed. For example, as used herein “shelf life” is the length of time that a commodity may be stored without becoming unfit for use, consumption, or sale. In other words, shelf life might refer to whether a commodity should no longer be on a pantry shelf (unfit for use), or just no longer on a supermarket shelf (unfit for sale, but not yet unfit for use). For produce commodities, the shelf life may be the time a product may be stored without becoming unsuitable for use or consumption.
“Remaining shelf life” is a key performance indicator (KPI) that may predict the remaining life of a produce item at every node in a supply chain “Dynamic expiration” date may be the estimated expiration date that is calculated using the estimated remaining life of the item. Like the KPI, the dynamic expiration also changes with the change in ambient conditions. Elements in the supply chain that impact the shelf life of a perishable item include: time, temperature, humidity, damage, ethylene content, packaging, and other treatments/processing.
“Temperature sensitivities” of an item may be a measure of how susceptible a produce item is to a change in temperature. The sensitivity of an item is the measure of the reduction of life (in hours) of an item when there is unit degree change in temperature for an hour. Similarly, there are sensitivities related to humidity, ethylene content, packaging standards and treatment based sensitivities. Sensitivities may be computed by retaining samples of items from a load at the distribution center. The samples may require to be kept at different ambient conditions and may require to be monitored every day until expiration. The collected shelf life may then be regressed against the temperature to derive the sensitivities.
As described in this non-limiting embodiment, a shipment of produce 116 may be monitored by one or more sensors. As illustrated in
The sensors may take the form of embedded computing devices. An embodiment of the embedded computing device may be an Internet of Things (IoT) device. Advantages of IoT devices include the utilization of well known operational software packages, low power consumption, and a small footprint. Additionally IoT software stacks provide support for many alternative communication implementations. As discussed above in one embodiment, sensors are physical integrated into the containers that the produce transits the supply chain inside. In another embodiment, sensors may be more remote to the produce (e.g. integrated into the hold of a truck) but proximate enough to measure temperature, humidity and ethylene. Likewise IoT devices may be distributed throughout a distribution facility to provide the periodic readings necessary to determine remaining shelf life.
The sensors may communicate over a network 114. Utilizing an IoT software stack as described above, the plurality of sensors may utilize lower level network transport including but not limited to NB-IoT or LTE-Cat M1. Additionally non-IoT focused transport can be utilized for the connectivity of the sensors including WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular LTE networks. The network 114 may include WANs, LANs, and the Internet. In the supply chain, the network 114 may include public or private portions of the internet, including utilizing virtualized private network (VPN) connections for data security.
The sensors provide periodic readings of data over the network 114 to a server 102. The server 102 receives periodic readings from the data across all sensors within the system. In one embodiment, the server 102 may be a dedicated physical computing device, or alternatively the server 102 may be a virtualized software server environment executing across a multiple computing devices.
Databases 112A, 112B catalog and index received periodic readings from the sensors. The databases 112A, 112B may be locally attached storage or area attached storage. The databases 112A, 112B may contain historical information utilized to identify characteristics of produce shipments indicative of various levels of remaining shelf life. The databases 112A, 112B may contain additional historical information utilized to train a machine learning algorithm, including a support vector machine, to characterize readings from the sensors as indicative of various states of remaining shelf life.
A reporting device 110 may be attached directly to the server 102, or more commonly, the reporting device 110 is communicatively attached through the network 114 to the server 102. In some embodiments, the reporting device 110 may be a mobile device such as a mobile phone or tablet. The reporting device 110 may include a display capable of rendering the graphical user interface (GUI) 118.
The GUI 118 may receive indications of remaining shelf life and display the remainders in an easy to read format. In some embodiments, the GUI 118 can display details regarding a shipment of produce and indicate a remaining time period corresponding to the remaining shelf life of the items in the shipment. It should be appreciated that a shipment may include one type of produce or multiple types of produce and each may have separate remaining shelf lives. Alternatively, the GUI 118 may provide a user with an indication to hold a shipment of produce based on the remaining shelf life. Holding a shipment of produce at a location may allow a user prevent a shipment of produce from proceeding to a location that may adversely affect the remaining shelf life so that the produce is unmarketable. The GUI 118 may provide a user an indication to reroute a shipment of produce based on the remaining shelf life. Based on current sensor readings at the current location of the shipment of produce, GUI 118 can display an indication that a shipment of produce is in jeopardy of exhausting its remaining shelf life, and prompt the user to relocate the shipment of produce where it can be sold while still viable.
Server 102 executes freshness indicator module 120. The freshness indicator module 120 evaluates the periodic readings from the sensors. The freshness indicator module 120 may require specific data to calculate the shelf life remaining. For example, in one embodiment, in a supply chain, the freshness indicator module 120 may require measurements for: supplier pick ambient temperatures (temperature at time of picking of the produce), supplier pack ambient temperature (temperature at time of packing of the produce), trailer ambient temperatures (temperature at time of shipping of the produce), distribution center ambient temperatures (temperature at time of intermediate storing of the produce) and a store ambient temperature (temperature at time of selling of the produce). Likewise for humidity, the freshness indicator module 120 may require: supplier pick ambient humidity, supplier pack ambient humidity, trailer ambient humidity, distribution center ambient humidity, and store ambient humidity. Similarly for ethylene readings, the freshness indicator module 120 may require: supplier pick ethylene, supplier pack ethylene, trailer ethylene, distribution center ethylene, and store ethylene.
Time intervals for the various periods for which the readings may occur may be determined for a number of different time periods occurring at a number of different phases during the transit of the produce through the supply chain. For example, time intervals may determined with reference to: pick date time, pack date time, cool date time, supplier ship date time, distribution receive date time, distribution center ship date time, store receive data time, store shelf replenishment data time, and store point of sale date time. Based on the date times collected throughout the supply chain, corresponding time intervals may be determined by subtracting combinations of the recorded dates. For example: Pick to cool/pack is the difference of the cool date time less the pick date time. Likewise, readings within the same phase (e.g. while produce is being stored at a distribution center) may also be used to determine how long produce was exposed to a particular temperature (or other types of readings).
“Ambient variations” as described herein are the differences between the ambient temperatures recorded at every point within the supply chain and a predetermined optimal/acceptable standard for that type of produce and reading. For example an ambient temperature variation is the difference of the measured ambient temperature less the standard temperature for the type of produce. Likewise ambient humidity variation is the difference of the measured ambient humidity less the standard humidity for the type of produce. For ethylene sensitive items, the ambient ethylene volume less the standard ethylene volume.
For calculating sensitivity, in one embodiment, retention sampling and other experimentation may be performed to arrive at the temperature, humidity and ethylene sensitivities of an item. At the farm or the distribution center, samples from harvest or shipments may be retained in various temperature and humidity zones and time to decay may be monitored for all the samples in order to get the life duration. After the experimentation; a regression may be used to arrive at the sensitivities expressed at:
SL=(ST*Temp)+(SH*Humidity)+(SE*Ethylene)+Error Value
where, ST is the temperature sensitivity, SH is the humidity sensitivity, SE is the ethylene sensitivity, and SL is the shelf life of the items.
The remaining shelf life can be generated by the freshness indicator module at any point in the supply chain. In an embodiment, the freshness indicator module takes into account the time spent from harvest of the produce and the time/life lost (in hrs. or min.) due to changes in ambient temperature, humidity and ethylene content. The remaining shelf life may then be determined with the calculation expressed by:
Product Shelf Life−((Produce Age)+(ΣST*Time of Temperature deviation*Temperature Deviation)+(ΣSH*Time of Humidity deviation*Humidity Deviation)+(ΣSE*Time of Ethylene deviation*Ethylene Deviation))
Upon the calculation of the remaining shelf life, the freshness indicator module 120 may update the GUI 118 over the network.
At step 302, the freshness indicator module receives periodic readings associated with a shipment of produce from sensors distributed at locations throughout a produce supply chain. The locations may include an initial location at which the produce originated. Additional locations may include the transportation vehicles, distribution centers, and stores.
At step 304, the freshness indicator module determines ambient deviations throughout the supply chain for temperature, humidity and ethylene. Pre-defined criteria for the shipment of produce may be based at least in part on the periodic readings and utilized to build confidence in the remaining shelf life determinations.
At step 306, the freshness indicator module determines a product shelf life based on a calculated sensitivity to temperature in conjunction with an amount of time of temperature deviation and an amount of temperature deviation, a calculated sensitivity to humidity in conjunction with an amount of time of humidity deviation and an amount of humidity deviation, and calculated sensitivity to ethylene in conjunction with an amount of time of ethylene deviation and an amount of ethylene deviation. The freshness indicator module may calculate a sensitivity to temperature, a sensitivity to humidity, and a sensitivity to ethylene for the shipment of produce based at least in part on the periodic readings.
The calculation of a sensitivity to temperature, a sensitivity to humidity, and a sensitivity to ethylene for the shipment of produce may be calculated using machine learning to periodically recalculate sensitivity based on additional readings received from the sensors. Training and periodic validation of the machine learning algorithm may be utilized to provide data points in a supervised learning activity.
At step 308, the freshness indicator module determines a remaining shelf life based on the determined product shelf life, an age of the shipment of produce, and conditions of the shipment of product in transit, the remaining shelf life representing a time period the shipment of produce is fit for sale.
At step 310, freshness indicator module generates an event based on the remaining shelf life meeting a threshold. A first threshold may correspond to the produce becoming unfit for sale. In one embodiment, the freshness indicator module may automatically divert the shipment of produce to another location based on the event. Alternatively, the freshness indicator module may automatically hold the shipment of product at one location based on the event. Additionally, the freshness indicator module may generate a second event based on the remaining life meeting a second threshold. The second threshold may indicate that the produce is unfit for consumption. The freshness indicator may update an indication on a graphical user interface corresponding to the second event, indicating the shipment of produce has no remaining shelf life and is unfit for consumption.
At step 312, the freshness indicator module updates an indication of the remaining shelf life on a graphical user interface. The update can include a number of actions a user may take based on the remaining shelf life. For example, if the remaining shelf life is no longer fit for sale, the user may be presented with an option to generate orders to discard the shipment.
