The company processes up to 5,000 bins daily and the company wanted to ensure that transport from field to refrigeration is done swiftly.
The program identifies specific geographic field points and RFID tags on bins are scanned when filled. Data is dispatched to packing facilities that are alerted if containers do not arrive in a predetermined time.
Launched early last year, the company is applying the system across the US with its entire vegetable product line, starting with leafy greens.
