Internet-of-things as an infrastructure for monitoring and the optimal control of risks in retarded supply systems of perishable goods.

The aim of this paper is to provide a review of potential developments of postharvest loss prevention logistics, where the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is the available infrastructure, and decision support is given based on the skeleton of the extended MRP Theory in increasingly developed new field of services named “domotics” which is a new name of integration of domestic architectures with information systems and devices. We shall present how distributed computing can improve the safety food monitoring, control and final provision and how it generally contribute to the postharvest loss prevention, where final users are well informed from where agricultural products are coming, by which supply chain they are provided and how safely the agricultural products are coming to the refrigerators of individual customers. The paper gives an overview how the skeleton of extended MRP theory can be used for support the optimal decision based on sensors’ reports, monitoring also by final user, and enable to inforce the control principles also for better supply chain (re)planning under the decision of the final user.
