EPS RTI Flow has a lack of transparency and
can’t be fully tracked by the RTI Provider.
Therefore, all value chain members can’t
experience an optimal customer support.
Here is what we aim to improve (KPIs)
Increase of
pool efficiency
Tray Distribution Manager – First RTI
equipped with an integrated geolocation
sensor sending data. A Tray Radar
Application displays the movement in a
customer friendly workaround.
Anti-Theft Alert System – Optimized RTI
geolocation sensors have an accuracy of
less then 10 meters. Tray Radar Application
is running and analyzing movements with
an rule-based event management system.
Generates higher safety through an
integrated alarm system.
High security level
for distribution

Nowadays, every Member of the Value chain like
transport agencies, Distribution Centers and Retailers
use their own system to control the temperature of the
goods. It’s not seamless and offers potential for
conflicts.
Major Challenge Here is what we aim to improve (KPIs)
Increase food safety
Dashboard for Temperature Monitoring
Seemless registration over the complete
value chain.
Alert Systems – 2nd MVP will run and
collects data along the whole value chain.
An Application allows every customer to
check the temperature monitoring.
Reduce food waste

RTI supply could be problematic
in high season
During the harvest season, many
farmers stash a lot of RTI’s while
others couldn’t order enough.
Better supply with RTI
Improved stock management of RTI’s at
different stages leads to a better supply
of every Farmer.
Theft and Misuse
Misuse and Theft cases take place
without noticing.
Temperature Data isn’t logged
since harvesting point
Farmers have no proof that they
harvest “the right way” and keep their
product chilled since harvesting.
Support in cases of theft and misuse
Misuse and theft cases are obvious and
can be enlighten.
Clear temperature monitoring
Right from the beginning, the product
temperature can be recorded. A
complete value chain temperature
monitoring is possible
