SUPPLY CHAIN CARBON ACCOUNTING
The aPM-EDGE platform is a powerful tool that offers innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions in fresh produce supply chains.
By leveraging advanced monitoring and data-driven insights, it enables stakeholders to make informed decisions and implement sustainable practices.
Here are key ways in which the aPm-EDGE platform contributes to carbon emission reduction
Optimized Transportation Routes:
aPm-EDGE provides real-time data on temperature, humidity, and other vital parameters, allowing for the selection of optimized transportation routes. This minimizes unnecessary mileage and reduces fuel consumption and associated emissions.
Energy Efficiency:
The platform helps maintain precise environmental conditions during storage and transportation, ensuring energy-efficient operation of refrigeration and ventilation systems. This reduces energy consumption and, consequently, carbon emissions.
Reduced Food Waste:
aPm-EDGE's monitoring capabilities help prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of fresh produce. Less food waste translates to fewer emissions associated with the production, transportation, and disposal of wasted food.
Inventory Management:
By monitoring inventory levels and freshness, the platform supports efficient inventory management practices. This minimizes overstocking and food waste, further reducing emissions from unnecessary production and transportation.
Sustainable Packaging:
aPm-EDGE can track the environmental impact of packaging materials. This data helps stakeholders choose more sustainable packaging options, such as recyclable or biodegradable materials, leading to reduced emissions from packaging production and disposal.
Traceability and Compliance:
Enhanced traceability through aPm-EDGE ensures compliance with food safety regulations. This reduces the risk of recalls due to contamination or spoilage, avoiding the associated emissions from product disposal and replacements.
Data-Driven Decision-Making:
aPm-EDGE's data analytics capabilities empower stakeholders to make informed decisions about supply chain processes. These decisions can lead to improvements in efficiency and sustainability, resulting in lower carbon emissions overall.
The "Old"
Product carbon footprints are calculated using many assumptions and estimations across various supply chain processes at one point in time. i.e Financial Year end
The "New"
Product carbon footprint is calculated by using specific real-time activity data by batch and individual SKUs throughout the year.
Ambient multi-sensing pixels can be placed in any location and applied to almost any surface.
Using the surrounding RF signals, the energized "sensing pixels" collect surrounding data and broadcast it to the cloud encrypted BLE 5.0 data packets incorporating sensor data.
The collected sensor data can be viewed directly on the Wiliot cloud or ingested into the user's preferred cloud software for analysis.
