Agrifood with every crate traced back to its field

A cooperative receives fruit from hundreds of growers, grades it, packs it and sells it to retailers who want to know where every crate comes from. The information exists, but it is spread across delivery notes, scales, spreadsheets and the foreman’s memory. Veodar ties it into a single thread, from field to customer.

Fruit from the grower comes in through the hopper and rolls between two rails that spread apart: each piece drops where the gap is wider than it is. The blemished one is blown off, and each crate carries its lot, grower and field.

01

A lot you can follow backward and forward.

EU food safety law requires knowing who supplied each product and who it was delivered to. We connect the scale, grower intake, packing and shipping so every crate carries a GS1 label with its lot, and every lot points to its field, harvest date and treatments.

When an alert or a GlobalG.A.P. or IFS audit comes, full traceability takes minutes, not an afternoon of digging through paper.

02

Grower intake and settlements without redoing the math.

Every grower delivery is recorded with weight, variety, quality and size grade, and the settlement is calculated with the cooperative’s rules: prices by category, deductions and advances. Growers see their deliveries and settlement in an app or a portal.

The usual questions, such as why one month paid less, are answered with the detail of every delivery.

03

Machine-vision quality control with a person at the end.

Cameras on the line measure size, color and defects and divert whatever fails. Every decision is logged with its photo, and the quality manager adjusts the thresholds with data from the season itself.

When the model is unsure, the piece or the lot goes to review. AI proposes the grade; in a claim, a person has the final word.

04

From the field log to the cold room.

A digital field log on the phone to record treatments, irrigation and work per plot, even with no signal, with the data ready for audits and authorities.

Temperature and humidity sensors in cold rooms and trucks alert as soon as a value goes out of range, and the history stays linked to the lot.

Questions

What we usually get asked

Missing yours? Write it to info@veodar.com and we'll reply with a specific question, not a brochure.

Do you work with cooperatives?

Yes, and with fruit and vegetable packers, olive mills, wineries and processors. Traceability and grower settlements are almost always the starting point.

Do you connect with scales and graders?

With the ones that export data or have a connection, yes. Older ones can be read from the ticket or file they produce.

Do the labels follow the GS1 standard?

Yes. We generate GS1-128 labels with lot, date and whatever each customer requires, plus shipping notices over EDI when the retailer asks for them.

Does the field log work offline?

Yes. It records on the phone and syncs when the signal returns, which out in the field is no small detail.

Where do you start?

With traceability or with grower settlements, whichever weighs on you more. Both start from product intake, so one leads to the other.
