Modeling the internet of things adoption barriers in food retail supply chains

Monitoring of Temperature in Retail Refrigerated Cabinets Applying IoT Over Open-Source Hardware and Software

“…After two years of operation of the proposed solution, having evaluated the reliability of the sensors and microcontrollers, as well as the availability of the Internet connection and the IoT platform from the 3.4 million data generated, it has been demonstrated that this solution is applicable at industrial level, representing a novelty and a scientific step forward with respect to proposals based on prototypes that have not reflected their performance over a long period of time. The solution helps to highlight the potential of IoT-based technological approaches in terms of "independent networks, that have the capabilities of self-configuration and self-optimizing among many other characteristics", as already pointed out by other authors [16], providing an example of IoT application in the retail sector, where the adoption of this type of technology is still at an incipient stage, as other works remarked [24].…”

“…In order to provide solutions to solve this challenge, Internet of things (IoT) systems are becoming more relevant, where a wide range of sensors are connected to each other along the cold chain, sending useful information for decision-making and preventing potentially undesirable events [16]. As a result, the IoT is expected to help retail chains to control the quality of food products, to plan the handling of end-of-life waste, to manage the temperature of freezers, refrigerators and warehouses, and to contribute to the reduction of energy consumption [24].…”

Creating Competitive Advantage through Sustainable Supply Chains: A Theoretical Framework for the Assessment of Practices, Dynamic Capabilities, and Enterprise Performance of Manufacturing Firms

“…According to Seuring and Müller (2008), "S-SCM is the integration of management of flows of material, information and finances along the supply-chain and the cooperation amongst participating firms along the chain with objective to meet the three criteria of economic, environment and financial goals.". Sustainable-supply chain management (S-SCM) comprises of organization's external (collaboration with upstream and downstream partners) and internal practices( sustainable processes and production) carried out by the firm to gain sustainability in all three dimensions of performance (Bubicz et al,2019;Kamble et al, 2019).…”

Resilience toward supply disruptions: A stochastic inventory control model with partial backordering under the base stock policy

“…As supply chains have become increasingly globalized, concerns in business and academic sectors have raised about their resilience and responsiveness ( García-Arca et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020 ). Traditionally, supply chain managers have not considered the impacts of disruptions and have not adopted efficient techniques to control or mitigate them ( Kamble et al, 2019 ). As a result, several business failures have been reported.…”
