The ProduceQC system is the fast, repeatable way to reduce handling damage in fruit and vegetable operations. From the orchard to the packhouse, ProduceQC gives you visibility into impacts your crop experiences. Whether you’re harvesting apples, transferring citrus, or packing avocados, ProduceQC pinpoints where damage is likely to occur—before it shows up as bruises, soft spots or quality claims. Now with app-based data collection and an online dashboard, it’s never been easier to monitor, share, and act on what you learn.

Stop Guessing, Start Grading Up:
Data to Reduce Damage in Fragile Produce
Identify impact zones
Quickly find areas where damage could occur like drops, rollers, and transfers throughout your handling and packing lines.
Troubleshoot faster
Create a complete record that makes it easier to explain and solve quality issues with notes, videos and photos captured in the mobile app.
Improve product quality
Spot trends in the dashboard that could reduce quality and grade. Extend shelf life by reducing compression and invisible surface damage.
Optimize line handling
Give your team the data and actionable insights to adjust conveyor speeds, drop heights, and handling techniques across harvesting, sorting, and packing.
Is ProduceQC right for your operation?
You want to reduce bruising and grading issues before they cost you.
Even minor impacts can lead to surface damage, softening, and defects that lower grade and market value. Use ProduceQC to pinpoint where force exceeds safe limits so you can intervene before quality complaints or rejected loads.
Leverage the sensor to refine how you handle delicate fruit like apples, peaches, tomatoes, or avocados. Reduce rework, improve pack-out yield, and protect more product from grading losses.
You want to move past trial and error to make better decision based on the data.
With real-time feedback in the app, your team sees exactly where damage is occurring and why. Use built-in photo, video, and note tools to create full records during production and QA runs.
Review trends across time and location in the web dashboard to standardize processes and ensure consistent quality. Whether you’re onboarding new staff or optimizing at peak season, ProduceQC helps you dial in the process with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an agggrrii sensor?
The aaggrrii sensor consists of the aaggrrii sensor and companion mobile app. The sensor is a replica of a real produce, equipped with internal sensors that measure the mechanical forces your produce experiences as they move through the handling and processing line.
The sensor captures data such as impact forces across three axes, velocity, and travel direction. All data is collected at a high frequency and transmitted via Bluetooth to the mobile app.
The mobile app displays real-time data and highlights impact events that may lead to bruising or quality loss. Customizable alert thresholds let you tailor the system to your specific process. Critical impact events are logged for review, and you can annotate each with notes, photos, or videos.
By using the aaggrrii sensor system to detect problem areas and optimize your processing line, you can significantly reduce damage and loss. Even a small decrease in bruising can translate into substantial cost savings and improved product quality.
What mobile devices are compatible with the aaggrrii sensor mobile app?
The aaggrrii sensor mobile app is available for both Apple iOS and Google Android platforms.
For iOS, an iPhone 11 or newer running iOS 15 or later is required. The aaggrrii sensor mobile app is not designed for use on iPad tablets.
For Android, the device must be running Android 10 or newer with a minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (720p). The aaggrrii sensor mobile app is not intended for use on Android tablets.
How much will I save by using the aaggrrii sensor system?
Savings will vary depending on the size and type of your operation, but even a small reduction in product damage—such as bruising or impact-related loss—can lead to significant financial benefits. Users see measurable improvements in yield, product quality, and operational efficiency, which can translate into substantial annual savings reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
How much will I save by using the aaggrrii sensor system?
Every operation is unique, but based on data from the U.S. FDA, an operation with 500,000 birds can save up to $240,000 USD per year by reducing egg breakage by just 1%. Even small improvements in handling efficiency can result in substantial annual savings.
