As IoT tech integrates with
color sorters in African farms, real-time data dashboards have emerged as a game-changer—slashing operational and maintenance (O&M) costs by 30% and solving long-standing efficiency pain points.
The dashboard’s predictive alerts are key: it flags potential issues (like dusty sensors or worn parts) 2-3 days early, letting teams fix problems before breakdowns. For example, a Kenyan maize farm using
IoT-connected Industrial Color Sorters reduced unplanned downtime by 45%—avoiding losses from halted sorting. It also optimizes maintenance: instead of fixed schedules, the dashboard suggests repairs based on actual usage, cutting unnecessary parts replacement costs by 25%.
With lower O&M costs, African farms can invest more in expanding
color sorting equipment use, boosting crop quality and profits.
