Background A cold chain is a low temperature-controlled supply chain network that ensures the food, beverages, medication, and volatile chemicals are still safe to use after they reach the consumers. To do this right, the temperature is a profoundly vital factor. Bacteria grows quickly and could taint consumable goods if the transporters do not keep […]

Inadequate food supply due to high population growth is becoming a global threat, especially in regions where food production by conventional means is not sufficient. Agricultural production in greenhouses with highly controlled environmental conditions can contribute to a stable supply of agricultural commodities regardless of the weather.   Most modern greenhouses are equipped with motors on […]

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, having proper ventilation has become an increasingly important factor in preventing the spread of the virus. Higher levels of CO2 in a building are an indicator of poor ventilation which increases the risk of various health issues including the risk of virus transmission.

SUMMARY At the beginning of 2019, the design of the Underwater Visual Observation System NOUS was born. The IoT underwater system was installed at the ancient shipwreck of Peristera, at Alonissos island, Northern Sporades. For the first time in the world, it enabled continuous monitoring of an underwater museum. As a breakthrough in underwater surveillance, […]

Many factors contribute to the growth, productivity and quality of crops, but water supply is perhaps the most vital one. Soil moisture deficiency will lead to a reduction in growth and longer production times, while over-irrigation will cause water waste and damage to crops. So farmers need a smart irrigation system that implements smart irrigation […]

Australia is the driest inhabited continent in the world; 70% of it is either arid or semi-arid land. The arid zone is defined as areas which receive an average rainfall of 250mm or less. The semi-arid zone is defined as areas which receive an average rainfall between 250-350mm. 1 Australia’s variable climate means it is […]
