Challenge:Incorporating interconnected sensors to monitor the temperature of baking equipment, and support bakers to save on labor costs and reduce the risk of damaging equipment and costly downtime.
 
Obstacles to overcome:The case for IoT in baking maintenance has become increasingly compelling because of the lack of resources bakers have to devote to maintenance, excessive paperwork in maintenance, the increasingly complicated array of software involved in bakery production today and lack of support for maintenance from management.
 
Solution:Interconnected devices transmit relevant data to the cloud as a central hub, for further processing, analytics and long term / recipe storage. All that information can be brought back as part of best practice processing.
 
Advantages: 
Central recipe storage
Decentrialized process automation and control
Energy monitoring
Key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring
Automated reporting on health and cleaning status
Complying with health organization / cleaning guidelines
