In the era of connectivity, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are being deployed throughout the supply chain to actively monitor a key factor to food loss and waste: temperature fluctuations. According to the above FAO report, fruits and vegetables account for 21.6% of the total food lost, and roots, tubers and oil-bearing crops account for 25.3%. It’s estimated that just under half (46.9%) of these instances can be mitigated through temperature monitoring solutions. Through the deployment of a low-power and long range (LoRa) IoT solution, real-time temperature monitoring can occur at different levels in the supply chain. Read more

As the worldwide adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) gathers speed, security of the data retrieved and shared by these applications becomes an increasingly crucial issue, writes Marc Pegulu. There’s a real threat of data passed between parties via the IoT being intercepted. Even if this data isn’t confidential, the mere interruption of its delivery could have seriously negative consequences. Read more
