Australian supermarket chain Coles is using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to digitize and make traceable its entire poultry cold chain. The goal of the technology is to reinforce food safety standards, while saving time and minimizing waste.
Coles Group’s solution involves 4,500 smart food bins used to transport poultry provided by Loscam, and connectivity over a low-bandwidth 0G network provided by Thinxtra. The IoT system provides data for every individual smart food bins containing food, not only the transportation vehicles.
