How Smart Sensors and IoT Are Reducing Losses in the Cold Supply Chain
Title - How Smart Sensors and IoT Are Reducing Losses in the Cold Supply Chain Smart sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are continually revolutionizing the cold supply chain by providing real-time monitoring and predictive analytics to minimize spoilage and substantial financial losses. These technological innovations ensure that temperature-sensitive goods—ranging from life-saving pharmaceuticals and vaccines to perishable foods like dairy and produce—reach their final destinations intact. This technological integration aligns perfectly with the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (PHDCCI) advocacy for efficient, robust, and modernized logistics in India’s rapidly growing infrastructure sector. Understanding the Cold Supply Chain Ecosystem In the traditional model, cold chain management relied heavily on manual checks and passive data loggers that could only be read after the journey was complete. This "rear-view mirror" approach meant that if a cooling u...
