Implementing IoT Technology in Practice: Monitoring the Supply Chain for Sustainable Operation
Author:
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is proliferating, with thousands of new sensors and equipment going live each month. Despite its lengthy evolution, the Internet of Things has only recently begun to take off in the mass market due to low-cost, reduced-power elements, ubiquitous web access, and high business and consumer interest. The Internet of Things includes anything from intelligent kitchen appliances to smart buildings, smart lighting on streets to automated manufacturing processes, and adaptive home heaters to autonomous vehicles. This research concerns studying and applying Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor the supply chain and achieve more sustainable operations by ensuring accurate and real-time data monitoring. In this context, an experimental device is developed to read the values of selected physical quantities from the wine supply chain environment through appropriate sensors. The values are then sent to an IoT platform to facilitate the remote monitoring of the above physical quantities and extract valuable insights from the large volume of data generated. The results show that crucial information can be gathered in real-time, enabling quick decision-making and ensuring safer and more sustainable supply chain operations.
