The dairy sector plays a critical role in the global food supply, but it faces significant challenges related to energy consumption, sanitation, and packaging waste. Milk has a limited shelf life, and quality control is essential throughout the milk processing chain, from collection on farms to processing and final products. To meet regulatory and consumer demands for food safety and quality, various chemical and microbial tests are conducted. While hazard analysis testing is crucial, some tests may be redundant, highlighting the need to optimize quality control processes. The dairy sector's approach to Industry 4.0 entails proactive maintenance, production optimization, and logistical improvement. Robotic milking machines, automated processing and packing lines, sensors for quick chemical and microbiological detection, and improved real-time data management are all part of this. By 2025, the dairy sector is projected to grow by 1.8% yearly and produce 177 million tons of milk. Advanced sensors on smart dairy management systems allow for quick data collection from storage and processing tanks for milk. After gathering the information, it is processed to help in decision-making. Scalability is a crucial component of IoT-enabled dairy management solutions that optimizes plant productivity and boosts revenues. These systems integrate intricate procedures for managing historical  data through data loggers enabling thorough analysis of the dairy sector. The sensed data is sent to the cloud server for data processing, data storage and visualization through IoT PC interface from which the dashboard can be accessed by admin and the configured alerts through telegram bot and SMS to the subscribed account. This helps analyze the dairy business with a broader perspective, including detailed information about the plant processing, asset workings in terms of energy consumption, tank monitoring reports by monitoring hygiene and other miscellaneous managerial tasks such RFID enabled package tracking and collection from consumers. This synergy empowers IoT applications with seamless connectivity, scalability, and remote management.
