How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Food Spoilage in Cold Chains

from Internet of Things with Fexingo: Connected Devices, Sensors, and Industrial IoT · host Fexingo

In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how IoT sensors are revolutionizing cold chain logistics to prevent food spoilage. They focus on the specific case of Blue Spark Technologies' temperature sensors used by a major US grocery chain, which saved an estimated $12 million in spoilage losses in the first year. The discussion covers how continuous monitoring from farm to fridge detects temperature deviations in real time, triggers automated corrective actions, and provides data for predictive maintenance of refrigeration units. Lucas explains the technology behind the sensors, including their battery life and wireless protocols, while Luna challenges the cost-benefit analysis for smaller operations. The episode also touches on regulatory implications and the future of smart tags.
