The food industry faces enormous pressure to ensure the provision of safe, high-quality food in the face of a rising population and increasing legislation. As supply chains become more global, food safety programs become more complex and difficult to manage. Innovations in technology and data are playing a key role in ensuring high standards of food safety. Recent advances in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology also allow properties to think differently about pest control and preventative pest management programs. The effective use of (IIoT) as it relates to pest control provides a real opportunity to significantly reduce and avoid the financial loss incurred as a result of contaminated products, product recalls and lost reputation originating from a pest infestation or poor hand hygiene practice.
The goal of this webinar is to focus on how IIoT can help improve the performance of your pest control program by monitoring and logging issues in real time, shortening response time to act, enhancing compliance with rigid standards and regulations, and supporting businesses to mitigate potential issues before they have an impact on the bottom line.
