US (FL): Driscoll's raises the bar on food safety and security practices

Driscoll's continues to lead and innovate in the area of food safety and quality. The most recent innovation to assure the quality and safety of its berries is the addition of the OverSightTM system from Locus Traxx of Jupiter, Florida.
The OverSightTM system continuously monitors and reports the temperature, security status and location of Driscoll's shipments.
Rick Reyes, Director Delivery Systems of Driscoll's said, "The ability to get information on the temperature of our shipments while they are on the road along with security status and GPS location information is a natural next step for us in our continuing efforts to assure that our customers receive the freshest, highest quality berries."
"Driscoll's posed a unique challenge for us," said David Benjamin, CEO of Locus Traxx. "They wanted to have real-time information on shipments but they don't own their own trucks. Working with Driscoll's we developed a fully portable and reusable version of our OverSightTM system. The portable version can be quickly attached to any truck/trailer combination and provide the same real-time monitoring and reporting as our fixed installations. This is the only portable, real-time continuous monitoring and reporting solution available today. We've had great response from both 3PLs who handle the transportation of perishable products, and from companies and growers who use 3PLs to ship perishable products."
