In this chapter the main challenges for the postharvest management of fresh produce are summarised. Key areas where the use of new smart technologies can improve crop management are explored, starting with how environmental sensors can be integrated into internet of things (IoT) systems with potential for use in the fresh produce supply chain. The next section summarises how the implementation of low oxygen storage environments is being refined through the use of dynamic controlled atmosphere systems incorporating sensor technologies. Modified atmosphere packaging and the developing field of active and intelligent packaging for fresh produce is then discussed. The chapter ends with future options for how smart technologies may develop in this sector.

With the integration of new technologies such as smart technologies and cloud computing in the industrial Internet of Things, the complexity of industrial IoT applications is increasing. Real-time performance and determinism are becoming serious challenges for system implementation in these Internet of Things systems, especially in critical security areas. This paper provides a framework for a software-defined bus-based intelligent robot system and designs scheduling algorithms to make TTEthernet play the role of scheduling in the framework. Through the framework, the non-real-time and uncertainties problem of distributed robotic systems can be solved. Moreover, a fragment strategy was proposed to solve the problem of large delay caused by Rate-Constrained traffic. Experimental results indicate that the improved scheme based on fragmentation strategy proposed in this paper can improve the real-time performance of RC traffic to a certain extent. Besides, this paper made a performance test and comparison experiments of the improved scheme in the simulation software to verify the feasibility of the improved scheme. The result showed that the delay of Rate-Constrained traffic was reduced and the utilization rate of network was improved.

Engineering Practices

The exchange of data and information among collaborating partners and resources in a distributed manufacturing system assumes significance especially in today’s global economy. In recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) related practices and technologies have emerged as enablers of collaborative manufacturing and engineering practices. Smart technologies involving Virtual Reality and haptic based interactions are continuing to play an important role in concurrent engineering based methods in distributed contexts. The research presented in this paper explores the design of an IoT based framework for electronics manufacturing involving the use of VR based environments and Cloud computing technologies. The process domain of interest is electronics manufacturing with an emphasis on Surface Mount assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The VR based assembly environment played a key role in this IoT framework as it supported Concurrent Engineering practices by enabling stakeholders in this manufacturing system context to obtain a better understanding of the manufacturing process design while providing ‘what if’ analysis capabilities for changing customer requirements. Another benefit of such VR based IoT frameworks is the potential of such 3D environments to provide effective training of assembly processes as well as facilitating better understanding of process design issues from distributed locations.
