INTELLIGENT RIPENING INDICATOR SENSOR

AI Powered Fruit Intelligence

EVERY YEAR, ₹1.5 LAKH CRORE IS LOST. SILENTLY.

THE WASTAGE NUMBERS —
AND THE PRIZE FOR SOLVING THEM.

~16 CrTonnes

Fruits & vegetables produced in India annually — 2nd largest producer globally.

4–5 CrTonnes

Lost post-harvest every year. That is 30–35% of total production gone before it reaches a consumer.

₹1.5LCrore

Economic loss annually (~$18 Billion USD). 40% of this is avoidable with better monitoring.

₹60KCrore

Recoverable value — the immediate financial opportunity that better post-harvest technology can unlock.

Wastage by Crop

A ₹3,800 CRORE
GREENFIELD OPPORTUNITY.

₹3,800 Cr

Opportunity Market

Projected opportunity across India's early fruit quality monitoring and post-harvest technology ecosystem.

India's F&V market is growing at ~8% CAGR. Cold chain infrastructure is set to double by 2030 under PM Gati Shakti. Sensor-based quality control is a ₹3,800+ Crore greenfield opportunity with virtually no organized competition today.

Meet the Future

Enter the Iris.

IRIS is a portable, non-invasive fruit monitoring system that detects ripeness using Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) release — no touching, no damage, no guesswork. Powered by IoT connectivity, embedded machine learning, and smart sensors, it delivers real-time freshness data for multiple fruits simultaneously, built specifically for transit and storage environments.

VOC Detection

Continuously reads volatile organic compounds released by fruit as they ripen, detecting changes invisible to the human eye or hand.

Non-Invasive Monitoring

No touching, no sampling, no damage. Fruit integrity is completely preserved throughout the monitoring process.

Embedded ML Intelligence

Interprets color-change and VOC-pattern data to predict ripeness stage with accuracy, not estimation.

Real-Time IoT Connectivity

Live data logging and remote monitoring via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Track multiple batches from one dashboard, anywhere.

YOUR STOREHOUSE
JUST GOT A BRAIN.

IRIS continuously tracks VOC levels to predict spoilage, optimize dispatch, and reduce post-harvest losses in real time — replacing manual inspection and guesswork with accurate, AI-powered insights.

Predict Spoilage Early

Detect rising VOC levels before visible decay appears, preventing losses before they spread.

Optimize Dispatch

Identify which batches are ready to ship and which require more time for peak freshness.

Reduce Post-Harvest Losses

Continuously monitor fruit quality without handling or damaging a single fruit.

Real-Time Visibility

Track storage conditions and freshness trends across multiple batches from one dashboard.

Data-Driven Decisions

Replace manual inspection and guesswork with accurate, AI-powered insights.

Maximize Profitability

Improve quality consistency, reduce waste, and increase returns across the supply chain.

From Canopy to Carton.

Cold Storage & Warehousing

Optimize storage duration and reduce spoilage of bulk-stored fruits and vegetables. Detect rising VOC levels before visible decay appears — preventing losses before they spread across the batch.

Cold Chain Logistics & 3PLs

In-transit VOC monitoring for refrigerated trucks, reefers, and containers to prevent premature ripening and catch spoilage before it reaches the destination.

Organized Retail & Supermarkets

Shelf-life prediction and dynamic markdown and restocking decisions at distribution centers and stores. Know exactly which produce needs to move first.

Quick-Commerce & Online Grocery

Inventory freshness scoring for dark stores to minimize last-mile delivery of overripe produce and reduce customer complaints and returns.

Food Processing & Packaging

Quality-grading inputs for juice, puree, and ready-to-eat processing units. Ensure only the right-ripeness fruit enters your production line.

FPOs, Exporters & Large Growers

Post-harvest ripening control for export consignments and farm-gate aggregation centers. Meet international quality standards, batch after batch.

UNDER THE HOOD.

ESP32-S3 Core

The brain of IRIS. Handles all processing and manages Wi-Fi and Bluetooth data transmission.

Airtight Observation Box

A controlled environment that ensures accurate, interference-free VOC readings every time.

Embedded ML Engine

Interprets color-change and VOC patterns to classify and predict ripeness stage automatically.

Real-Time Data

Real-time data logging and remote monitoring via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to your dashboard.

On-Device Display

Live readout directly on the device. No app required to get an immediate freshness reading.
