How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Food Spoilage in Cold Supply Chains

In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, hosts Lucas and Luna dive into the surprisingly high-tech world of cold chain logistics. Over 12 percent of global food is wasted due to temperature breakdowns in transit—costing the industry roughly $35 billion annually. Lucas explains how a single IoT sensor company, Tive, helped a major poultry shipper reduce spoilage by 40 percent using real-time location and temperature trackers. They explore the shift from passive RFID tags to cellular-connected multi-sensor devices that detect door openings, humidity spikes, and vibration. Luna questions whether the upfront hardware cost is worth it for smaller operators, and Lucas lays out a pay-per-shipment model that is gaining traction. The episode also touches on how blockchain and IoT are converging for immutable audit trails, and why the cold chain is the next frontier for sensor startups. #InternetOfThings #Iot #ColdChain #FoodWaste #SupplyChain #SensorTechnology #Logistics #Tive #PoultryIndustry #RealTimeMonitoring #RFID #CellularIoT #Blockchain #FoodSafety #Technology #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #FexingoIot Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
