【2020 Application Example】 AI Cold Chain Transportation Breakage Warning System - Reducing the Proportion of Temperature Loss in Chilled Products and Enhancing Product Value!

Direct delivery of fresh vegetables and fruits from Shangqing, temperature control is key

Preserving the freshness of vegetables and fruits is one of the crucial aspects of the agricultural production and sales model. Enhancing the efficiency of fresh preservation and integrating cold chain transportation management are critical issues that agriculture businesses need to address. In Taiwan, agricultural lands are small and scattered; hence, entering the cold chain transportation immediately after harvesting and strict temperature control are essential for maintaining freshness.

Instances of temperature loss and cold chain transportation breakdowns are increasingly evident

The vegetables supplied by the vendor have been highly favored in the market recently, achieving record sales in chain supermarkets and making efforts to enter higher-end consumer markets. Recent acquisitions of fresh vegetable supply channels from McDonald's, Costco, and Taiwan Plastic's Steakhouse highlight the need for previously unnoticed issues in the company's own cold chain transportation system to be addressed and enhanced for storage and transportation efficacy.

Incorporating more IoT and AI architecture and functionalities

This 'AI Cold Chain Transportation Breakage Warning System' uses IoT and AI technology to help vegetable suppliers analyze their cold chain systems, particularly focusing on personnel management and resource wastage or damage to fresh products due to improper decisions by personnel.

By using the Beacon system, AI analyzes the movement paths of chilled goods within and outside the company, personnel needs management, and data analytics. It considers neural network learning elements like 'movement paths of chilled goods after storage', 'personnel involvement', and 'product quality at sale'. By learning through AI, the system solves and enhances 'internal personnel merchandise quality', 'external chilled vehicle service quality', and establishes 'product quality monitoring and warning' functionalities, achieving comprehensive beneficial effects!

IoT sensor data collection

Based on different needs of each refrigerated space of the vegetable supplier, temperature or humidity abnormality alarms are set. When an anomaly occurs, the authorized person's app notifies with a push notification and informs the SOP. For more critical issues, an SMS push service is available to notify surveillance personnel not equipped with the app to handle urgent procedures at once, minimizing loss.

Technology, which has been established for over two decades, has been developing AI technology and assisting industry customers with the implementation of AI in recent years Hamastar Technology believes that to implement a complete AI project, in addition to AI theoretical knowledge, data analysis, and model training capabilities, it is also necessary to develop APIs for data, establish databases, develop front-end RWD web pages, and even consider layout design and user experience based on customer needs These tasks create technical barriers for AI startups Even from the perspective of companies that have reached a certain scale, it is hard to accumulate technical experience and accelerate business growth due repeatedly investing manpower developing similar functions in each project Institutional customers still require high level of customization for AI Using the requirements of government Agency A implemented by Hamastar Technology as an example, users must control false information from specific channels The platform needs to provide data ingestion functions for training models and predictions, and can complete natural language processing NLP text classification model training and use When the model discovers false information, it needs to immediately notify responsible personnel through messaging software The need of Agency B is to use an AI model to automatically classify petitions and immediately provide information on past cases as reference for the petitioner or officer Although the project models are similar data ingestion, model prediction, warning notification, the required functions still need to be separately developed for individual projects, and existing programs and models cannot be reused to speed up the implementation of subsequent projects After in-depth discussion, Hamastar Technology found that pain points of enterprises implementing AI projects include high implementation costs and lengthy project schedules It is difficult for a single enterprise to simultaneously have data scientists, analysts, engineers, and designers Current projects are all focused on solving the needs of specific fields, and it is difficult to reuse the AI models in other fields of application At the same time, the tools are concentrated in AI projects and cannot provide customers with total solutions In other words, due to the "limited manpower," "restricted fields," and "insufficient tools" of AI service providers, the implementation of AI technology projects requires high costs or lengthy timelines These are common problems that companies urgently need to solve Therefore, if there is an AI model application service management platform, it will be able to solve the above difficulties and not only reduce costs, but also accelerate project implementation and provide customers with one-stop solutions AI model application service management platform assists in quickly completing projects Therefore, with the
