Inexpensive passive temperature sensors, aided by AI and ML, replace manual operations and guesswork to obtain optimum product temperatures from your existing coolers

• Prevent over/under cooling
• Enhance product quality
• Increase throughput
• Reduce cycle times 15-20%
• Eliminate manual errors

Pre-cooling is a vital component in extending shelf life, reducing food waste and maximizing profitability for growers, shippers and produce buyers

Rapid removal of field heat from perishable crops such as berries, leafy greens and tree fruit has been proven to be the most effective means to slow respiration and the growth of microorganisms, thus preserving product quality and extending shelf life.

While many methods of pre-cooling exist including forced air tunnels, vacuum tubes and MACS coolers, they are all limited by manual controls and operator judgement. This can lead to cycle times that are longer than necessary, excess power consumption, and loss of productivity.

“InteliCool converts any existing pre-cooling equipment into a fully automated system, with cycle times driven by the real-time temperature monitoring of products throughout the load”

Gary Fleming, Inteligistics’ CEO.

The challenge has been obtaining optimum core product temperature, especially on inner pallets, without extending cycle times beyond what is necessary.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to correlate ambient air, product core, and supply and return air temperatures, from inexpensive, off-the-shelf passive temperature sensors, InteliCool optimizes cooler cycle times and efficiency.

This elimination of manual cooling system guesswork and errors results in shorter cycle times, lower power consumption and increased throughput.

Cycle times reduced by 10+ minutes, with overall efficiency gains of up to 33%

InteliCool can be installed on virtually any cooling tunnel, tube or MACS system.

• Increased throughput
• 8 month ROI
• Reduced CapEx

While efficiency gains and cost savings in cooling operations are impressive, the real game-changer for growers, packers and shippers is having more high-quality product to sell
