                    both companies and consumers to track
                    products.
                      Further, transparency incorporates
                    some  added  benefits  for  companies
                    including improved inventory
                    management, cost savings, and faster
                    lead times. Businesses can obtain such
                    benefits  by  identifying  and  solving
                    incompetence in the supply chain,
                    exceeding and meeting food safety
                    regulations, and offering transparency
                    to customers.

                    Production and Storage
                    Sensors can significantly help to perk
                    up quality control, products tracking,
                    workers’ activities, and taking advantage
                    of  real-time  analysis  for  production.
                    Sensors persistently inspect the colour
                    and specks throughout flour production,
                    which helps to immediately rectify any
                    inaccuracy. Moreover, sensors gauge
                    the moisture content along with protein
                    or cash content and allow real-time
                    optimization  of  the  production
                    procedure.

                    Wastage Reduction
                    As per the report of food and agriculture
                    organization of United Nations, nearly
                    one-third of human food production is
                    wasted globally each year. This not only
                    results in money loss but also tend to
                    damage our surroundings by growing
                    carbon gas in the atmosphere. IoT
                    technology makes it possible to
                    effortlessly monitor the state of all food
                    products  and  send  the  real-time
                    information to the assigned individual,
                    which decreases food wastage.

                    Way
                    Since we  know that most  of the
                    maintenance is preventive or reactive
                    but not predictive therefore by employing
                    remote equipment monitoring we can
