Empa Sensors Mimic Fruit for Better Readings

Mar-23-17 The Empa produce temperature sensors hide inside a replica of the fruit to take more accurate readings.

Although most produce shipping containers are already equipped with temperature sensors, they only measure the air inside the container—not the fruit itself. To deliver a more accurate reading, the Empa sensors are embedded within a 3D-printed replica of the fruit. The inside of the fruit-shaped structure contains the sensor as well as a combination of materials that mimics the interior of the fruit being shipped, offering a better estimate of the real fruits' temperature.
