A new environmentally friendly prototype sensor has been developed by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, to help combat food-fraud and protect the reputation of Australian produce.
The novel technology uses vibration energy harvesting and machine learning to accurately detect anomalies in the transportation of products such as meat.
For example, if a refrigeration truck carrying exported meat stopped during its journey to the processing plant, the technology would be able to detect this and if any products had been moved or removed during this period.
This allows producers and logistics operators to pin-point handling errors and identify when products are stolen or substituted.
