The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to revolutionize the way the food industry operates. As a trusted enabler of end-to-end IoT solutions, MicroCenter can help you manage and scale your food IoT solutions to significantly improve the manufacturing and production processes while maintaining food safety compliance.
Each functional area of the food industry has been significantly getting better with the integration of IoT. For an instance, IoT facilitates food companies to ensure superior levels of traceability, food safety and, therefore accountability all through the farm-to-plate supplies chain operations. Moreover, the IoT network in the food supply chain greatly aids to trim down waste, costs, and risks as well, in all stages of the procedure.
The implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the food industry has been considerably diminishing the risk of food illness epidemic. Different kind of monitoring sensors, including temperature, humidity and toxic gas sensors are being used to monitor necessary production state, shipping time, and to monitor parameters in containers to ensure that food products are stored in a suitable environment.
The utilization of real-time temperature tracking sensors allows organizations to closely monitor food safety data points, assuring active cold chain management.
This triggers staff to perform and verify mandatory food safety inspections when data gathered from sensors advice potential issues or violations.
MicroCenter makes it possible for food producers, transportation, and food service providers to work connected and guarantee timely delivery and safe food. With our IoT food solution, companies across the supply chain gain the visibility needed to ensure food is delivered on time, and prepared in optimal settings.
Food companies that use internet-connected equipment can confirm food quality as it leaves the factory or warehouse. Fleet managers can then leverage wireless sensors to ensure temperature sensitive and perishable goods do not spoil while in transit.
Every company is making all the required efforts to ensure their supplied food meets the standards set by the authority to avoid food recall or spoilage. However, major food manufacturers using logistics agencies who might compromise the quality of their products. Many food and beverages are sensitive to temperature and humid conductors and thus, reasonable control must be conducted to ensure the temperatures are maintained at the appropriate level. Failure to regulate the right temperature levels could cause food-borne diseases that might endanger the public. To eradicate the issue of unsafe food, we recommend using smart thermostats to constantly monitor the temperature of the manufactured products in real-time. Real-time monitoring of the temperature means that if the temperature of the product falls below the set standard, that product is removed out of circulation to guarantee food safety.
Smarter inventory management process will result in faster detection of expiry dates as well as more efficient stocking operations, reducing food wastage due to spoilage. Smarter storage and transportation facilities make it possible to control and maintain ideal conditions for food items so that they do not spoil. Smart connected products will be able to update details regarding their quality on their own in their digital counterparts, making it easier for warehouse employees to quickly identify any food item nearing its expiry date.
