Neutral atmosphere and sanitization storage apparatus, method and system

An apparatus for storing perishable items that are frequently accessed, said apparatus comprising:

• an outer shell assembly, said outer shell assembly comprising
• an access door,
• a remote controlled lock, said remote controlled lock being able to lock said access door,
• an exposure chamber, said exposure chamber being able to be accessed through said access door and said exposure chamber being airtight when said access door is closed,
• an electronics chamber, said electronics chamber comprising a vent to the exterior of said outer shell assembly, and
• an exterior indicator;
• a memory stored in non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• said memory comprising
• tables of optimal ozone saturation for said perishable items, optimal temperature levels for said perishable items and optimal humidity for said perishable items;
• a processor module, said processor module enclosed within said electronics chamber and said processor module capable of wireless communication, said processor module capable of controlling said remote controlled lock to lock or unlock said access door, said processor module comprising
• said computer-readable medium;
• a power supply module, said power supply module enclosed within said electronics chamber;
• a UV light source, said UV light source enclosed within said exposure chamber and said UV light source being controllable by said processor module;
• a perforated basket for storing said perishable items, said perforated basket enclosed within said exposure chamber and said perforated basket being sufficiently perforated to allow substantial air flow around said perishable items stored on said perforated basket;
• a UV barrier, said UV barrier enclosed within said exposure chamber between said UV light source and said perforated basket, said UV barrier comprising
• a material opaque to UV light;
• a fan, said fan enclosed within said exposure chamber and said fan controllable by said processor module;
• a temperature sensor, said temperature sensor enclosed within said exposure chamber and said temperature sensor being able to send measured temperature data to said processor module;
• a humidity sensor, said humidity sensor enclosed within said exposure chamber and said humidity sensor being able to send measured humidity data to said processor module;
• a humidity control unit, said humidity control unit enclosed within said exposure chamber and said humidity control unit controllable by said processor module;
• wherein
• said apparatus receives said perishable items on to said perforated basket while said access door is open;
• said processor module controls said remote controlled lock to lock said access door, thereby making said exposure chamber airtight;
• said processor module receives said measured temperature data from said temperature sensor;
• said processor module receives said measured humidity data from said humidity sensor;
• said processor module accesses said tables in said memory and retrieves a recipe based on said perishable items, said measured temperature data, and said measured humidity data;
• and
• said processor module activates said humidity control unit to achieve said optimal humidity for said perishable items;
• and
• said processor module activates said UV light source and said fan, for a time based on retrieved said recipe, to circulate ambient air within said exposure chamber around said UV light source in order to generate ozone within said exposure chamber in an amount sufficient to achieve said optimal ozone saturation and to substantially preserve the quality of said perishable items.
