Production process flowchart

01 — Sourcing

Partner farms across Queensland & Northern NSW supply Grade-A pineapples under long-term sustainability contracts.

02 — Cold-Chain Intake

Produce arrives within 8 hours of harvest, scanned with IR sensors to log sugar content & core temperature.

03 — Automated Prep

High-speed cutters and peelers reduce waste to <2% and feed compost by-products to local bioenergy plants.

04 — Smart Cooking & Blending

IoT-connected kettles self-adjust pH and Brix levels, logging live data to our blockchain ledger for audit.

05 — Packaging & Coding

Fully recyclable sachets are gas-flushed, sealed and printed with consumer-scannable provenance QR codes.

06 — QA & Palletisation

Spectral imaging verifies fill weights; AGV robots palletise by route to minimise carbon-kilometres.
