Abstract
Systems and methods for managing post-harvest crop quality and pests. A post-harvest monitoring system receives sensor device measurements from sensors deployed within a commodity storage facility. The system analyzes the sensor measurements and, optionally, other data, and provides a user with a representation of the storage facility that includes air flow, temperature, and/or moisture content readouts, along with stored commodity quality and/or stored commodity business metrics predictions concerning infestation level, visible mold, dry matter loss, germination capacity, gas concentration, and estimates of commodity value and profit margin under a variety of post-harvest monitoring system-recommended or user-specified scenarios. Use of the system thus enhances stored commodity quality, marketability and food safety by providing solutions that combat spoilage manifestations and guide end users to efficient pest management.
