When potato harvesting begins for Food Trust producers, retired engineer Tony Glencross has a special job. He's the man who's been hired by FoodTrustto make sure these precious potatoes don't have to put up with life's bumps and bruises along the way. Armed with a unique home-grown technology known at the "Smart Spud" and a palm-size PC, Glencrossis able to track the progress of potatoes from the moment they leave the ground until they make their way to the packing houses. The Smart Spud is a unique wireless impact detection device developed by Charlottetown-based Sensor Wireless Inc.

Take the benefits Chris Monden is reaping from wireless sensor technology. Monden raises over 61, 000 layers, and every egg he produces counts. That's why Monden calls the Crackless Egg "a great investment for a farmer."

In 1997, Wayd McNally was lying on the ground and staring up at the underbelly of a potato harvester in Prince Edward Island when inspiration struck. McNally, who was running his own agricultural consulting business, was trying to figure out how to help the farmer reduce bruising.

Read full story >Sensor Wireless Inc. is proud to announce the addition of the NEW Agent QC Desktop, for the Smart Spud bruise detection system. This software makes it easier then ever before to keep detailed records and provide reports. The software can catch your palm files in a matter of seconds and allows you the ability to rename your files for better management capabilities. Once the files are on your PC you then have the ability to add threshold lines making it easy to see where the problems occur, insert points of reference for even more pinpointed issues and adjust scales for your time and impact references.

Like Bond, Agent QC uses advanced high-tech gadgetry to get the job done. And like Bourne, Agent QC spots problems and "negates" them. But unlike those big-screen spies, Agent QC is a machine.
Specifically, it's a new type of sensor designed to infiltrate factories and look for problems

Wayd McNally, president and CEO of Sensor Wireless, saw how much produce was lost or damaged along a typical supply chain, and it gave him an idea. What if you could throw a device in with shipped goods and somehow measure just what happens to them along the way? That was back in 1997. Today, after much research and development, that idea has evolved into active wireless sensor products such as Smart Spud, CrackLess Egg and Smart Bottle.

Customers report that the New CrackLess Egg System provided significant revenue benefits and surpassing expectations. Chris Monden of Unicorn Farms in Ontario, Canada, says “the CrackLess Egg has been the difference between a good flock and a really good flock.”

Designed to mimic the look and movement of a potato, the rubber-coated Smart Spud travels alongside the potatoes making their way through the harvesting equipment as they’re separated from the dirt and vines.
Read full story >Splayed beneath the rollers of colossal potato harvester on prince Edward Island in 1997, Wayd McNally was lying on his back in muddy coveralls and work boots pondering tubers when the eureka moment struck. Fresh out of Nova Scotia Agricultural College, McNally, then 26 was trying to solve a local farmer's problem with bruised spuds when he experienced a quality-control brainstorm: create a wireless potato that rides shotgun with the crop, tracking trouble spots. "If you can measure it, you can fix it", says McNally.
