Food Storage
3. Food (Waste): Innovations to support sustainable and resilient food systems focused on reducing or reusing wastes, to enhance, and improve circularity
A major problem with food waste begins after the harvest. The crops cannot be sold immediately on the market, but must be stored until the next harvest period.
An example of this is potato storage, which is mostly done in crates or bulk storage. Potatoes must be stored in a cool place, which, due to climate change, can only be achieved by active cooling, whereas in the past, storage in germany could be controlled by fresh air in winter.
In order to optimize storage, sensors must be installed to monitor the storage process, which poses challenges for the measuring sensors, but also for communication.
This is where we want to start and achieve through innovative solutions of bioium pedance measurement, as well as new transmission possibilities, intelligent sensors for food storage and ultimately control/optimization of storage.
We are interested in cooperation in the direction of companies for food storage, farmers, storage technology manufacturer, etc. to takle this issue. On the other hand, we can provide deep knowledge in samrt sensing technologies.

The Smart Sensors research group at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), headed by Prof. Ulf Kulau, focuses on digital data and signal processing on smart sensors, real-time data processing, energy-efficient processing, as well as reliability, fault tolerance, and embedded fault diagnosis on resource-constrained systems. Numerous previous projects demonstrate expertise in these areas (PotatoNet, REAP, INGA, 5GSatOpt, TRIPLE-nanoAUV/TRIPLE-MoDo). Prof. Kulau is also initiator and PI (Principal Investigator) of the experiment BEAT (Ballistocardiography for Extraterrestrial Applications and long-Term missions) as part of "Wireless Compose 2" which is performed by Matthias Maurer and Samantha Cristoforetti on the ISS in the frame of the "Cosmic Kiss" and "Minerva" missions. Furthermore, Prof. Kulau has been doing research on energy efficiency of embedded systems for more than 10 years to enable energy-autonomous operation of sensor systems by low-power processing strategies, both in hardware and software.
