ICT / IOT role in Indian Agriculture - Part 2 Some more applications W e talked about how data alone is not going to help and we need analytics on top of the data to get  actionable intelligence in our previous blog . We saw two applications of IOT / ICT , namely micro  weather station and Greenhouse monitoring. We are going to talk  more applications of IOT / ICT in agriculture. So continuing from where we left 3.  Warehouse and Cold chain monitoring The definition of a cold-chain is " A cold chain is uninterrupted series of storage, production, logistic and transport while maintaining a desired low temperature range which is  necessary to preserve and maintain the shelf life of products like agriculture produce, sea food,  frozen food, pharmaceutical products and medicine, chemicals and other products which if not  preserved using cooling will get deteriorate from their quality standards ".

 ICT / IOT role in Indian Agriculture In our past blogs, we shared information on how Yuktix is playing its role in Digitisation of Indian Agriculture institutes ( Here is the link to the blog) .
