Unlike traditional manual sorting, Fresh-Check transforms raw environmental data into business intelligence. The system utilises a machine learning model to track the synergy between VOC gas accumulation and visual decay, identifying the precise transition points from "Unripe" to "Spoiling."

This data driven approach allows grocery retailers to move beyond arbitrary best before dates. By generating real-time insights such as remaining shelf life and automated discount alerts, Fresh-Check optimises inventory turnover and provides a scalable solution to significantly reduce food waste.
