Cellar Insights

What Cellar Insights does

Cellar Insights helps potato growers, processors, and storage operators minimize loss and detect early signs of spoilage, excess shrink, and poor fry color with smart remote monitoring. Their Smart Storage Monitoring System provides alerts, trending information, and actionable analytics to protect the quality and value of potato crops. For growers, it detects rot early and protects potato quality and yield. For processors, it protects and optimizes contracted potato supply with early risk detection and supply chain visibility. For facility system vendors, it adds rot detection and predictive analytics to deliver more value to growers. The company is expanding its operations across various regions in Canada and the US.
