The SmartHarvest

Mobile Ripening Unit

A breakthrough solution for precision ripening on the move.
By challenging what’s possible
with ripening technology and
logistics, the SmartHarvest
Mobile Ripening Unit (MRU)
is creating more precision,
more control and ultimately
more profitability for
everyone in the supply and
distribution chain.
The SmartHarvest MRU is a unique,
purpose-designed mobile ripening
room with integrated SmartHarvest
Ripening Control System (RCS) for
class-leading, precision ripening on
the move.
The SmartHarvest MRU uses a chilled water system
with environmentally-friendly natural refrigerant.
For international transportation and
distribution, the SmartHarvest MRU
is also available with GPS enabled
monitoring for real-time management
of ripening conditions within the unit for
the entire duration of any journey.
By integrating the ripening process
within logistics, the unit can increase
distribution range, reduce inventory and
storage requirements and accelerate
time to market.

demand, the SmartHarvest MRU is an
alternative to the investment lock-in
and potential complexity of building
additional ripening rooms. Any number
of MRUs can be commissioned
on-demand with flexibility to scale
up or down, and with individual or
networked ripening management.

 Key advantages:

Reduces OpEx costs Micro-adjusts conditions

associated with the ripening
process by up to 50%.
Optimises freight density
to increase payload and
profitability.
Reduces storage costs,
distribution delays and
wastage by delivering
market-ready produce.
Removes the risk of waste
during storage which is
typically what can happen
with conventional static
ripening facilities.

Can supplement existing
ripening rooms to provide
overflow, seasonal,
specialist or even emergency
ripening facilities.
Provides an environmentally
responsible alternative to
conventional solutions by
using a chilled water system
with environmentally-
friendly natural refrigerant.
