$25,000.00
Sensor-Based Environmental Monitoring System
FY 2015-16
Summary
Reis Information Systems, an information technology company based in Kitchener, Ontario, is currently
prototyping and piloting a Sensor-Based Environmental Monitoring System to offer to fresh food vendors. The
goal of this system is to reduce the amount of waste allowed when using current monitoring systems, by
regularly and accurately identifying environmental conditions that may lead to spoilage. The Engage project
will review and expand upon a system that has been prototyped by Reis to create improvements and prepare for
commercialization. This project generates value through auditing and improving Reis' software prototype,
electronics and hardware, and security design. The results of the Engage grant project are critical to carrying
