Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and approaches for managing post-harvest crop quality and pests are described. Such a system may include a plurality of edge devices each comprising sensor components and collectively forming a mesh network, for measuring the local physical environment within stored crops and, for example, transmitting the measurements to a service from within the crop storage area. In certain embodiments, such a system may be used to manage post-harvest crops and storage areas—for example, approaches are described for determining fumigation treatment duration, determining phosphine dosage, determining heat treatment duration, and determining safe storage time for crops.

Claim (Index 4):
A method for managing post-harvest stored crop quality and marketability, comprising:\n at a server, receiving measurement data generated by a plurality of edge devices placed inside a storage area, wherein the measurement data concerns measurements of a respective local physical environment for a respective edge device at a respective location within the storage area, and wherein the measurements are either or both temperature and relative humidity; determining a portion safe storage time for each portion of a plurality of portions of a stored crop, the respective portions co-localized with respective edge devices of the plurality of edge devices based on the measurement data and a linear model or exponential model for dry matter loss, mold appearance, or germination capacity; determining a total safe storage time for the stored crop based on the respective portion safe storage times for the plurality of portions of the stored crop; and providing the total safe storage time.
