Softripe and HappyRipe – Innovation by Frigotec – are patented intelligent fruit ripening technologies based on AI and real-time fruit physiology. Unlike conventional and data-based ripening systems relying on predefined parameters or historical data, our technologies dynamically adapt the best biological ripening process using real-time fruit physiology and process data such as respiratory activity behaviour and origin data. Softripe is designed for all climacteric fruits, like avocado, and also non-climacteric fruits, like passion fruit. Our latest innovation HappyRipe was specially developed for kiwifruit. The result is reproducible ripening, consistent quality, more aroma and brix-sugar, firm fruit-skin with really ready-to-eat fruit-pulp, better end-customer satisfaction, outstanding longer shelf-life with loss and waste reduction over the complete fruit supply chain.
