Currently, one third of food gets bad when transporting to customers. Implementation of suitable technologies can deal with this situation. There can be sensors placed right on the cargo, that provide data in real time even at a distance. These data then serve as a valuable resource of information and basis for selection and realization of suitable measures.<\/p>\n
During the pandemic, logistics and supplying got significant attention. Firstly because of lack of medical equipment and secondly, because of insufficient supplying of some foods and rapid growth of their prices. Approximately a third of foods designed for human consumption goes bad and that has a significant share of food shortage. The information comes from the Food and Agriculture Organization.<\/p>\n
These statistics are surprising because of two reasons. Firstly because of a huge extent of damage and secondly because this volume of losses is not necessary. With current technologies, this problem can be dealt with relatively easily. Sensors placed right on goods are able to measure the temperature, humidity or movement and send the data to the headquarter, so it\u2019s possible to prevent foods from going bad during transportation.<\/p>\n
Similar solutions are used by companies like Walmart or Nestl\u00e9. For transportation, trailers for dry goods, refrigerated trucks for quickly perishable goods or special containers for terrestrial and rail transport are deployed. All of them are equipped with sensors for measuring a whole myriad of variables to secure the best quality of foods possible. Without controlling physical conditions of transport and quick processing, a significant portion of goods might go bad. However, if the problem is recognized early enough, foods might still be of use.<\/p>\n
Companies can use technologies for building a more flexible system. Tracking the goods in real time allows for control of supplying and thanks to that, better controlling of the whole process. It\u2019s then possible to harmonize offer and demand based on the data.<\/p>\n
Using remote monitoring, the enterprise can not only track what\u2019s happening to the consignment, but also adjust the process in accordance with needs. The technologies that are enabling this are known to us already and if we are able to implement and use them widely, it would mean huge progress for the whole food sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
