launched: 2013 | status: Implemented
Solution Summary
Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS) is a service provider in Manitoba that operates a national broadband network. MTS provides innovative services and products to business and residential customers including high-speed internet, wireless, digital TV, converged IP networking, and unified communications. [1]
Key Benefits
Problem
Fundamental shifts in connectivity demand also creates
new opportunities for businesses. For example, the
Canadian agriculture industry loses approximately $750
million each year to grain spoilage in on-farm storage. [1]
Aim
The aim is to monitor the complete process from the plant growing in the field, all the way to the end user in the flour mill and hence, avoid losses to grain spoilage. The potential benefits of monitoring are including savings to the world economy, lower cost in production, improved access to quality food and reduced fuel emissions [1].
Spatial Level
Approach
MTS is working with innovative partners in the
agriculture sector to address grain spoilage problems
with cloud technology and standardized IP data
management tools. The solution places IoT sensors in
grain bins to detect moisture and changes in the
chemical composition of harvested yields.[1][weblink2]
