Course Novel Sensing Technologies
Ready to join us on a journey to revolutionise the world of postharvest technology? Our course on novel sensing technology is the perfect opportunity to learn how to detect and measure physical phenomena in fresh horticultural products, providing more detailed insights into their properties. By following this course, you can make further steps in using data modelling for quality measurements and assessment of fresh horticultural products and make a real impact in reducing food waste.
You will learn about the latest advancements in non-destructive sensing technologies. Next to that, you will learn how these tools can be applied to increase yield, improve postharvest quality and make better decisions in fresh supply chains. Join us and gain valuable knowledge and skills in this exciting field.

Why follow this course?
After successfull completion of this course, you have learned:
- The basic principles behind different sensing technologies and modelling approaches for analysing physicochemical properties of fresh produce.
- Furthermore, you will understand the capabilities and challenges and can start applying new sensing approaches in your own business.
Is this course for you?
Are you a technical professional in the fresh produce supply chain? Are you involved in quality assurance, safety, logistics, research, or related activities? This course might be relevant for you.
Our focus on (postharvest) quality will equip you with the skills you need to excel in your field. You can find your focus points in this course in breeding, production, trade, retail, or tech development.
No prior knowledge of the course topics is required.
Programme & topics
The course offers a mix of lectures, demonstrations, networking, and ample time for discussions and questions. Together, you will explore the challenges of:
- Capabilities and challenges of current and future sensing approaches for assessment of fresh horticultural products (fruit, vegetables, flowers and potted plants)
- Where and how the different sensing approaches can be used
- The novel modelling approaches to make meaning to sensor data
- Handling different sensors, learning about continuous monitoring, signal processing and sensor technologies.
