A new way to track food safety
Adopt a digital approach to food safety that reduces uncertainty. Our IoT platform provides critical information on food and storage conditions, so staff can focus on serving customers. Dashboards, reports and real-time alerts simplify:
Environmental monitoring
Temperature and humidity can be monitored from any location or transit point, ensuring food is stored in ideal conditions.
Maintaining equipment
Proactive replacement and maintenance is made possible when historical temperature sensor data can detect irregularities.
Compliance reporting
Temperature checks are automated and compiled in shareable reports that give a complete picture of how inventory is maintained.
Client success story:
Ignite Brewing
Ignite Brewing quickly pinpointed a faulty beverage cooler thanks to its IoT-enabled temperature monitoring system. It also launched thermal cameras supported by the Connected Platform.

Our technical experts are expanding Connected Food use cases beyond environmental and equipment monitoring to add track and trace capabilities. The result will be real-time visibility across every node of the food supply chain.
End-to-end food traceability
Eliminate blind spots.
Knowledge gaps are costly. Business leaders and front-line workers alike will be able to anticipate demand, track products and manage recalls effectively.
Reduce food waste.
Food loss hurts the environment and your bottom line. Enhanced customer behavior and supply chain visibility will optimize stock to reduce over- and under-ordering.
Increase food transparency.
Consumers want to understand the story behind their food. Earn trust by giving them in-depth information about how their food travelled from farm to fork.
The power of operational intelligence
Manage your entire organization with the combined strength of Microsoft® Azure®, intelligent edge computing and IoT sensors. Connected Food centralizes information to help staff respond to business needs and make informed decisions.

Is your business prepared for new food safety requirements?
More than 20 million pounds of food was recalled in 2019 due to foodborne pathogens1, with recalls taking 57 days on average2. To modernize the recall process, the FDA Blueprint for the New Era of Smarter Food Safety calls for enhanced food traceability — the digital documentation of where food was grown, processed, stored and sold.
IoT sensor data and real-time analytics will play an important role in food safety compliance — helping businesses make informed decisions while giving consumers peace of mind.
