RedLine Solutions for the Cooler
The challenge of the Cooler is to receive, identify, process and control inventory efficiently while preparing it for shipment to the customer. Processing requirements may include: pre-cool, value-add processing, re-packing, and customer specific labeling. Data collection is often done manually, which is prone to errors and delays in processing.
But there is a better way. Automated data collection increases operational efficiency to get crops to market faster, and increases the accuracy of information to reduce mis-shipments and meet FDA traceability regulations. Most Redline customers see their system pay for itself in one season.
