Industrial IoT for Food and Beverage

LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Food & beverage — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.

Industrial IoT for Food and Beverage replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.

Food and drink is the UK's largest manufacturing sector by turnover, spanning roughly 12,000 businesses from dairies and bakeries to breweries and chilled ready-meal plants. Tight margins, strict traceability and continuous cold chains make temperature and process monitoring a compliance requirement rather than a nicety. Automated logging replaces paper fridge checks and gives auditors a defensible, tamper-evident record.

Industrial IoT for Food and Beverage: sensors, gateways and dashboards

Built for Technical and quality managers, Food safety and HACCP leads, Site engineering managers and Cold store and warehouse supervisors. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Food and Beverage deployments include:

  • HACCP fridge and freezer temperature logging with automatic breach alerts
  • Cold store and blast-chiller monitoring across multi-site operations
  • CO2 and refrigerant leak detection in production and plant areas
  • Cooking and cooling process temperature records for audits
  • Water and energy sub-metering across the plant
  • Loading-bay and delivery-vehicle temperature checks at dispatch

Compliance and drivers in Food & beverage

Food business operators must run a HACCP-based food safety management system under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013, enforced by the Food Standards Agency and local authority environmental health teams. Chilled food that supports harmful bacteria must generally be held at 8°C or below. Natasha's Law has required full ingredient and allergen labelling on prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) food since October 2021.

Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor.

Why Food & beverage teams choose Indiott

Here is why food & beverage operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Food and Beverage partner rather than a generic reseller.

UK stock, UK delivery

Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.

Engineer-led, not box-shifting

An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.

One stack, many brands

Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.

Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends

When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.

Industrial IoT for Food and Beverage: frequently asked questions

Does automated temperature logging satisfy HACCP and auditors?

Yes. Continuous, timestamped, tamper-evident records are stronger evidence than manual checks, and alerts let staff act on a fridge or cold-store breach before stock is lost.

Can one system cover fridges, cold stores and process areas?

One LoRaWAN network handles probes across chillers, blast freezers, ambient stores and cooking or cooling steps, all feeding a single dashboard with per-asset thresholds.

What happens out of hours if a chiller fails?

The dashboard sends SMS or email alerts on a breach, so an on-call engineer is warned overnight or at weekends rather than finding spoiled product on Monday.
