SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPLEMENTING AGGREGABLE, ENVIRONMENT-CONTROLLED MINI-CONTAINERS FOR THE EFFICIENT LOGISTICS OF PERISHABLE PRODUCTS

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided herein systems and methods for implementing aggregable, environment-controlled mini-containers for the efficient logistics of perishable products. For example, there is a system for providing efficient transportation logistics of dissimilar perishable products within a transportation unit, in which the system includes: multiple mini-containers, each being configurable to stack and aggregate to consume at least a portion of volume within the transportation unit; a Central Driving Unit (CDU) operable to provide services to each of the mini-containers to maintain the contents of each mini-container; a Central Control Unit (CCU) to receive sensor information from each of the mini-containers and further to issue control parameters for maintaining a specified atmosphere composition within each connected mini-container via the CDU, in which the CCU executes the control parameters for maintaining the specified atmosphere composition within each connected mini-container by activating actuators, in which the actuators manipulate valves at each mini-container, allowing for inflow and egress of atmospheric elements; and in which each of the multiple mini-containers constitute individual modular units configurable to form a single inter-connected and aggregated stack having a size which fits within the available volume of the transportation unit. In related embodiments, the CCU is further configured to transmit data on the status of the mini-containers to the outside world, such as transmitting status information to a remote storage location, or to the cloud, or directly to a centrally located data hub. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
