Digital Shelf-life for seafood products

Move from destructive lab and sensory testing to continuous freshness data in a digital platform.

The seafood cold chain is long by design. With catch zones, carriers, and depots in the mix, seafood logistics are extended and complex.

Furthermore, across global routes and multiple handoffs, maintaining cold-chain integrity is challenging. Minor temperature drift compounds spoilage. Shelf-life variability across catch areas and seasons makes periodic lab checks insufficient.

How it works

BlakBear sensors continuously measure spoilage gases and temperature inside the pack. BlakBear AI models convert this data into microbiological counts (like a TVC or APC, reported in cfu/g) and odor scores (on a 1-5 scale), so you can monitor shelf-life without opening the product. BlakBear gives you the temperature and the resulting impact on spoilage and shelf-life, so you can accurately make urgent supply-chain decisions for products in transit.
