The Internet of Things (IoT) is the idea that any object can connect to the Internet to share data with other systems. Companies can use this data to improve processes and make better decisions on how to maintain equipment. IoT solutions are incredibly useful in restaurants and commercial kitchens, where it’s vital to monitor equipment like stoves or refrigerators for breakage, temperature and compliance.
Restaurant managers and operators can monitor practically every aspect of their food service equipment with connected sensors. A simple IoT sensor can be attached to a machine and monitor the performance and health of that equipment. IOT are useful in a wide range of scenarios, including remote kitchen management to reduce energy use and cost, food waste management, safe cooking environments, streamlined workflows and automated supply chain management.
