Overview / Usage
It is a fact that natural and perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables are cultivated in one location and are transported to other locations for consumption. For example, most of the vegetables that are consumed in the city of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu are transported from the nearby city of Ooty by trucks, Lorries and other container vehicles. It is also well known that a single such vehicle does not transport the vegetables and such goods from the source city to the destination city in one go; there are multiple intermediate transfers of the perishable goods between smaller vehicles to reach the interior regions of the country. During this transportation process, the order in which the products are stacked in the vehicle from the source is completely changed by the time the product reaches the destination. Usually, the perishables placed first in the vehicle is the last to be removed as they are stacked one above the other. Due to this, by the time the vegetables or fruits placed at the bottom of the stack are delivered, they could become spoiled or unusable. Also, there are some vegetables that could withstand the weight of the stack and remain fresher for a considerably longer duration within the vehicle during transportation. We have built the prototype. We are now in the phase of pitching for funds. Once we get funds, we shall get into the market!
