TrasTec Is Transforming The Future Of Food Safety & Shelf-Life Management

About TrasTec

TrasTec is a Saudi deep-tech company pioneering AI-powered food safety and dynamic shelf-life monitoring for the cold-chain industry. Our technology combines battery-free RFID sensors, smart connectivity, and cloud analytics to track temperature, freshness, and product quality in real time — from production to retail. Supported by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), TrasTec is driving the Kingdom’s food-security and sustainability goals by helping producers, distributors, and retailers reduce waste, prevent spoilage, and extend the life of every product safely. Through our end-to-end IoT ecosystem — sensors, readers, and intelligent dashboards — we turn complex temperature data into actionable insights that save costs, ensure compliance, and build consumer trust. TrasTec’s mission is clear: to make food quality visible, measurable, and sustainable — everywhere.

What We Do (in one line)

Battery‑free RFID sensors + smart connectivity + AI shelf‑life analytics → live quality monitoring and instant alerts, at scale.

Why TrasTec

  • Predictive, not static: Dynamic Shelf‑Life (DSL) recalculates freshness based on true temperature exposure—not fixed expiry dates.
  • Battery‑free & scalable: Ultra‑thin RFID sensor labels—no maintenance, low cost, easy to deploy on any product or package.
  • End‑to‑end visibility: From room to truck to store, get a live status of every item and location.
  • Actionable alerts: Catch risk early (abuse, freezing damage, hot spots, offline assets) with prioritized actions.
  • Tenant‑safe architecture: Multi‑tenant cloud with role‑based access, reader‑to‑tenant mapping, and secure APIs.

How It Works

  • Stick & Scan: Apply a TrasTec sensor label—no pairing or calibration required.
  • Connect Readers: Install one reader per room/zone/truck; it detects nearby sensors and streams data.
  • AI Insights: Cloud analytics compute DSL, risks, and KPIs in real time.
  • Act Fast: Dashboards and alerts guide what to sell, move, chill, or discard first.

Key Capabilities

  • Real‑Time Monitoring: Item, batch, and location‑level temperature and status.
  • Dynamic Shelf‑Life: Product‑aware, Q10‑based models with grace windows and injury penalties (hot/cold).
  • Quality KPIs: Exposure budgets, remaining shelf‑life, incident history, and reliability signals.
  • Reports & Audit: PDF history reports, CSV exports, and API access for BI tools.

Who We Serve

  • Producers & Food Processors: Verify chilling, reduce rework, and prioritize outbound lots.
  • Warehouses & Distribution: Catch hot zones, rotate first‑to‑expire, and audit handling.
  • Transport & Logistics: Monitor fleets and routes with room/truck‑level visibility.
  • Retail & Catering: Protect quality at display and back‑of‑house; reduce shrink.

Proof & Impact

  • Waste Reduction: Reduce temperature‑related disposal and improve sell‑through.
  • Safety & Compliance: Detect risk before reaching consumers; traceability via unique IDs.
  • Operational Savings: Battery‑free sensors mean zero maintenance; automated reports save hours.
  • Efficiency Gains: Automated reports replace manual checks.
Our Mission

At TrasTec, we believe that food safety and freshness should never depend on luck — but on data.Through innovation and intelligent systems, we make the invisible visible — ensuring that every meal, shipment, and shelf in the Kingdom stays safe, traceable, and sustainable.
