Smart bigbag nominated for Innovation Award PE21

Although the outdoor exhibition has been cancelled, the PotatoEurope Innovation Award 2021 will still be awarded on September 1st!

We are happy to announce our Smart big bag project is nominated for the PotatoEurope Innovation Award 2021!

Globally, the loss of freshly produced food is a major problem. Valuable food is lost during transport or storage. Understanding where these losses occur is an important step to improve food security.

To us it is crucial that our customers know how to treat and grow our seed potatoes. To optimize food production and reduce the risk of food loss. This is where our smart big bag steps in. With just a single tapp with their phone, (ware) growers get personalized information on how to grow our seed potatoes. Variety- and region specific plus in their own langage.

And we added something new. A temperature sensor gives us the insights about transport conditions. To learn about what is happening in this phase of the process. For example, in some early destinations, when cold mountain ranges need to be crossed, it can end up on frozen seed potato issues. We made this data accessible for both growers and distributors in the most easiest way.

With this smart big bag we share knowledge and collect insights in an efficient digital way. And contribute to the development of responsible food worldwide.
