With the award-winning Softripe, exotic fruits are already ripening fully automatically in twelve countries - controlled by intelligent AI software. The result: organic ripening at the highest level and a new dimension in fruit quality.
Frigotec caused a stir at the last Fruit Logistica with its ripened pineapple fruit. Now the company is showing what is possible with Softripe for kiwis.
"With our patented Softripe system, we have made a technological leap and achieved the global leadership position in fruit ripening. In Berlin, we are now using kiwis as an example to demonstrate the advantages and ground-breaking potential of this technology," says Managing Director Roland Wirth.
Kiwis are very sensitive. They are often too hard and sour on the supermarket shelves - controlled ripening was previously considered a challenge. Softripe now wants to change this. The fruit presented at the trade fair stand should have a firm, stable skin and at the same time juicy, soft flesh with maximum sweetness
"Kiwi fruit can be harvested according to defined specifications with maximum unripeness, transported stably, and stored temporarily. In the ripening and distribution center, the fruit is automatically and AI-controlled through the ideal biological ripening process to be truly ready to eat on the shelf," Wirth continues.
"Our process can even deliver better quality than flying goods, as the fruit ripens under optimal conditions with a perfectly controlled atmosphere and temperature until the end of the process. At the end of the process, they also benefit from a natural preservation effect - with a significantly longer shelf life."
At the trade fair, visitors will not only be able to sample Softripe kiwis, but this time will also be able to taste Softripe mangoes in addition to the familiar avocados.
Frigotech will be exhibiting and showcasing Softripe at Fruit Logistica. You can find their stand in Hall 27, booth C-35.
