Supply-chain Monitoring
The Blakbear supply chain audit solution provides real-time package freshness monitoring and alerting capabilities so you can optimize supply chains, extend shelf-life and improve overall product quality.
Identify weak links, extend shelf-life
Your fresh meat supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link. By analyzing microbial growth patterns across multiple vendors, storage facilities, and transit routes, Blakbear helps you:
Compare suppliers
Compare supplier performance. See which vendors deliver the freshest product.
Optimize routes
Optimize distribution routes. Identify problem areas where temperature abuse occurs.
Improve food safety
Improve food quality and safety. Reduce risk of spoilage and bacterial contamination.
Reduce waste
Minimize waste, maximize profits. Extend shelf life and lower return rates.
Without direct microbial monitoring, food producers and retailers are often blind to the root causes of spoilage, leading to unnecessary waste, costly product losses, and potential food safety risks. That’s where Blakbear’s Supply Chain Audits come in. By tracking microbial counts inside food packaging, along with temperature and GPS data, we provide a complete picture of where and why freshness is lost, so you can take action to optimize your supply chain.
Measure the unseen with Blakbear.
From data to action: How BlakBear optimizes your supply chain
Blakbear’s Bluetooth-enabled microbial sensors are placed inside food packaging to track microbial growth, temperature, and location data at multiple points in your supply chain. These sensors automatically transmit data via a mobile gateway, which uploads insights to the Blakbear Cloud, giving you real-time visibility into food safety risks and shelf-life performance.
With this data, you can pinpoint weak links, optimize routes, and make informed decisions to reduce waste and extend freshness.
Looking ahead: A more scalable future
We’re also developing an NFC/RFID-based solution: a next-generation microbial sensor embedded in low-cost labels. This technology will allow customers to scan packages with a smartphone to instantly check freshness. While real-time monitoring in transit requires additional infrastructure, this lower-cost option makes large-scale microbial tracking more affordable over time.
Blakbear is committed to delivering the most effective and scalable food safety solutions, starting with our Bluetooth-enabled sensors, and evolving toward even more accessible monitoring options.
