Agricultural IoT: Smart Farming Solutions for Food Security

With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), your farm may soon be filled with connected sensors gathering data to optimize every aspect of production. This could allow you to increase yields, reduce waste, and farm more sustainably through precision techniques tailored to local conditions. But how exactly can IoT enable smart farming? And what are the key technologies driving this change?

The Connected Chain: IoT-Driven Efficiencies in Supply Chain Management

You walk into your local supermarket and pick up a carton of milk. As you do, sensors embedded in the carton transmit data on its location, temperature, and movement in real time. This data allows the store and suppliers to closely monitor inventory levels and product conditions across the supply chain. Further up the chain, IoT-enabled predictive maintenance catches problems before they occur, keeping trucks on schedule. Even as the milk carton sits on the shelf, artificial intelligence reviews historic sales data, weather forecasts, and local events to predict demand, automatically placing restocking orders with optimal quantities and delivery times. This is the connected supply chain of the future, where IoT transforms logistics and inventory management through enhanced visibility, automation, and analytics. In this article, we explore the role of IoT in revolutionizing supply chain management and delivering new efficiencies.
