Food Processing
Description
Today’s consumers put significant value on fresh, high quality food, which means farmers and food processors need to get agriculture products from farm to table very quickly and in a way that ensures food safety. Internet of things (IoT) systems for agriculture and food processing are aiding in this process. Farmers can use sensors to determine peak harvest times, while food processors can track the environment and freshness of these agriculture products through the transportation, storage and processing phases. Once in the processing facility, additional sensors track the efficiency of the production and packing equipment and also any maintenance or repair needs.
By implementing an agriculture and food processing IoT solution comprised of sensors and gateways embedded with LoRa Technology and an intelligent low power wide area network based on the LoRaWAN™ protocol, farmers and processors can build a network that helps deliver fresh food in a timely and efficient manner.
