Improving water efficiency in the beverage industry with the internet of things
chapter
posted on 2021-09-13, 09:44 authored by Sandeep Jagtap, George Skouteris, Vilendra Choudhari, Shahin RahimifardShahin RahimifardThe food and beverage industry is one of the most water-intensive industries, with water required for
various processes (e.g., washing, cooking, cleaning) at almost every stage of the production, as well as
being a key constituent in many food and drink products. Therefore, a real-time efficient water management strategy is imperative, and the novel internet of things (IoT)-based technologies can be of significant
help in developing it. This chapter presents the architecture of an IoT-based water-monitoring system
followed by the demonstration of a case study of a beverage factory wherein the monitoring system helped
understand the detailed water usage as well as finding solutions and addressing overconsumption of
water during the manufacturing processes. The successful deployment of IoT helped reduce the annual
water consumption by 6.7%, monitor water usage in real-time, and improve it.
