How It Works

Continuous batch monitoring

Every pack generates thousands of data points, giving you a shelf-life forecast that predicts spoilage days or weeks before it happens.

Benefits

Why teams choose digital testing

Low-cost testing

Real-time data at a lower cost than industry standard microbiology testing. No lab fees, no specialist equipment.

Reduced testing waste

Fewer packs destroyed during testing means less food and packaging wasted. Non-destructive monitoring throughout.

In-house control

Standardize your test results to required specifications, all managed directly on-site by any team member.

Independent Validation

Verified by Campden BRI

BlakBear signals were independently validated against standard microbiological methods and trained sensory panels at Campden BRI.
