## Abstract

Provided is a system that manages and executes creation of recipes prepared and delivered in a vacuum-packed format, created by cooking the ingredients to sensor defined levels, blast chilling and confirming chilled temperature, then vacuum packing to lock in the flavor, freshness and nutrition of real and never processed food. The packaging can also include sensors to ensure the quality and viability of the delivered product. In one example, a vacuum sensor is integrated into the packaging to provide a visual indicator that the vacuum seal is intact from preparation to delivery. Additionally temperature sensors can also be included to provide another indicator that temperate has remained a specified level from preparation to delivery. Once delivered, the food lasts for at least seven days in the fridge, and final steps are limited to heated in boiling water (e.g., in six minutes), without any preparation or cleanup.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A production system and controllers for product generation, the system comprising:
at least one processor operatively connected to a memory;
a preprocessing controller, executed by the at least one processor, configured to control pre-production execution;
a first set of sensors configured to monitor a first production stage;
an automation controller, executed by the at least one processor, configured to receive monitored information from the first set of sensors, and control transition from the first production stage to at least a second stage of the execution responsive to exceeding a threshold measured by the first set of sensor systems;
a second set of sensor systems configured to monitor a second production stage;
wherein the automation component is configured to control a transition from the second production stage to a third production stage;
a temperature controller, executed by the at least one processor, configured to control generation of cooling material; and
trigger execution of delivery to respective users with the cooling material.

### Claim 2

A production system and controllers for managing testing, preparation and delivery of product, the system comprising:
at least one processor operatively connected to a memory;
a preprocessing controller, executed by the at least one processor, configured to manage pre-production execution;
an automation controller, executed by the at least one processor, configured to control at least a first set of sensor systems for monitoring production, and control transition from a first production stage to at least a second stage of the production responsive to exceeding a threshold measured by the first set of sensor systems; and
a transit controller, executed by the at least one processor, configured to trigger execution of delivery to respective users with the cooling material.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, further comprising a cooling controller configured to rapidly reduce temperature of target.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the at the first set of sensors systems includes temperature detectors disposed in a cooling unit, where in the automation controller is configured to control a transition from a cooling stage for the product to a packing stage.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the system further comprising a packing component configured to vacuum seal the product, responsive to determining the product has reached a threshold temperature.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the transit controller is configured to generate cooling material for packing with the product.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the transit controller is configured to determine a needed volume of cooling material based on a temperature analysis.
