Apeel Sciences will also be showcasing at this year's Berlin Fruit Logistica. Supported by customer-centric leaders like Ison, Apeel is excited to share the significance of RipeTrack with the EMEA produce industry. This AI-powered software system offers insight into produce ripeness through a fully digitized, user-friendly platform.

This technology is a significant leap forward in optimizing the decades-old process of testing ripeness, offering suppliers and retailers more insight into sales-driving quality attributes of their produce and resulting in more product delivered to required specifications and less product wasted.

Apeel will be in Hall 25, Stand A-02 at the event. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the RipeTrack system and meet Ison, and Ryan Fink, Senior Vice President, Commercial, will also speak about RipeTrack at the main Tech Talk stage.

Cheers to these new developments!
