Satellite fruit control system for high level of harvest estimation accuracy

The SFCS service aims at addressing the problem concerning the harvest logistics and its transportation to the receiver. For distribution planning, it is required to determine the number of transported product and its receivers early enough. SFCS optimizes fruit distribution and allows a change in the communication model of fruit producers and consumers (distribution companies, refrigerators, supermarkets, etc.) in order to improve the harvest estimation accuracy. As a result, the main problem that the projects addressing is the current information about the size of future production. The service mainly targets the apple makers as well as wholesalers and fruit purchasers. The service mainly uses satellite navigation for the geo-localisation of several relevant assets.
