2021The evolution of the food processing industry is continually advancing with the integration of innovative technologies, with the Internet of Things (IoT) at the forefront. The primary objective of this research is to delve into the development and integration of an IoT-based monitoring and control system in food processing to enhance efficiency, safety, and quality. Leveraging a combination of sensor-based technologies, real-time data analytics, and cloud computing, we designed and implemented an advanced monitoring system tailored to the unique requirements of food processing. Our findings underscored significant improvements in real-time monitoring, traceability, and predictive maintenance, leading to minimized wastage and optimized production cycles. Furthermore, the system's adaptability ensures its application across varied food processing units, from dairy to bakery goods. The implications of this integration not only signal economic benefits for the industry but also point toward a paradigm shift in how the food processing industry approaches quality control, safety, and efficiency in an increasingly connected world.
