Our Journey
Turning Science into Freshness Intelligence
SmartEdge was founded with a simple question — why can’t food tell us how fresh it really is?
Our team in Estonia combined expertise in food science, material engineering, and AI to create a new way of measuring freshness. Instead of relying on static expiry dates, we developed color-changing sensor films that detect real chemical changes inside packaging.
From our early lab experiments to pilot trials with food producers, SmartEdge’s mission has stayed the same: make freshness visible, measurable, and digital — for every pack, everywhere.
Advantages of SmartEdge Sensors
Real-Time Freshness Intelligence for the Food Industry
Discover how SmartEdge transforms freshness monitoring.
Our smart sensor patches and cloud analytics deliver real-time insights into product quality, shelf-life, and safety — without opening a single pack.
With SmartEdge, you can:
• Detect spoilage gases like H₂S and amines early
• Prevent waste and improve cold-chain control
• Verify packaging integrity in seconds
• Provide transparent data to retailers and consumers
The result: fewer recalls, longer shelf-life, and smarter operations.

Our Expertise
Science and Engineering for Freshness Intelligence
At SmartEdge, we combine food science, material engineering, and AI analytics to transform how the world measures food freshness. Our smart sensor films detect real chemical changes inside packaging — not just temperature or time — providing real-time shelf-life data that helps producers cut waste, extend product life, and ensure quality from factory to shelf.
Our food-safe color-changing films react to gases like H₂S, amines, and oxygen — giving instant visual feedback on product freshness.
Each patch changes color as spoilage gases form, revealing quality status inside the package without opening it.
AI Freshness Intelligence
SmartEdge’s AI algorithms interpret color shifts to create a live freshness score. Producers and retailers can act instantly to prevent spoilage and optimize shelf-life.
Cloud AI Analytics for Real-Time Insights
Our cloud dashboard aggregates all sensor data and delivers predictive analytics accessible from any device or ERP system.
Seamless Packaging Integration
Designed for MAP and vacuum packs, SmartEdge sensors fit directly inside packaging without changing materials or production flow — simple, scalable, and food-safe.
AI Freshness Intelligence
