Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Food Production through Real-time Data Management Using IoT Technologies
Аннотация
Rising energy demand and prices are significant challenges for the energy-intensive food sector throughout the supply chain. Thus, improving energy efficiency has become an important priority for the food sector. However, most food businesses have limited awareness of the latest technological advances in real-time energy monitoring. The concept of "Internet of Things" (IoT) is used in production enterprises of developed countries around the world to obtain energy data in real time. The Internet of Things has been explored to increase visibility, transparency and awareness of different levels of energy use. This article provides analysis and suggestions for achieving energy efficiency through real-time data collection in food production and processing enterprises. An example of a beverage plant in food processing and processing enterprises is given, where energy consumption reduction measures have been developed by introducing sensor technology that supports the Internet of Things, based on the product energy model.
