Abstract: A perishable goods monitoring system monitors the freshness or condition of a perishable product encapsulated within a package. The system includes a processing module with a machine learning algorithm. The processing module receives sensor data related to the condition of a perishable good from at least one sensor device incorporated in or on the package encapsulating the perishable good. The processing module provides the sensor data to the machine learning algorithm and determine, using the machine learning algorithm, data representative of freshness or condition of the perishable good. The processing module outputs the data representative of freshness or condition of a perishable good.

Abstract: There is provided a perishable goods monitoring system for monitoring the freshness or condition of a perishable product encapsulated within a package, the system comprising a sensor device, a wireless communication reader device and a processing module, said sensor device comprising a fibrous hydrophilic material based electrical sensor and a wireless communication tag chip coupled thereto and being configured to be incorporated in or on a said package, said wireless communication reader device being configured for wireless communication with said wireless communication tag by means of wireless communication technology when said reader device is within a predetermined distance of said tag, and said processing module being configured to receive sensor data from said sensor, via said reader device, correlate said sensor data against a stored calibration data set associated with said perishable product and determine thereby data representative of freshness of said perishable product.
