Food Traceability & Safety IIoT Platform

Geo-replicated IIoT platform built on Azure, AKS, and Istiofor end-to-end traceability, safety compliance, and predictive monitoring.

Food traceability and IIoT compliance architecture

Overview

A global food producer approached Mehtalogy to build a unified end-to-end traceability systemacross farms, processing plants, warehouses, and distributors. The challenge: ensuring real-time monitoring, regulatory compliance, andtamper-proof data integrity across geographically distributed locations.

The solution required a resilient, geo-replicated IIoT architecture, capable of processing millions of telemetry events per hour while ensuring99.99% uptime and seamless global failover.

Project Objectives

  • End-to-end food traceability from farm to consumer.
  • Real-time sensor monitoring (temperature, humidity, spoilage detection, etc.).
  • Geo-replicated IIoT ingestion with cross-region failover.
  • Product Recall management: removing unsafe food from the market by tracing batches backward (“fork to farm”) to identify the source—whether manufacturing issues, contamination, or other faults.

Solution Architecture

Mehtalogy developed a distributed IIoT platform based on:

Azure IIoT

Device provisioning, secure MQTT communication, geo-replication, and message routing.

AKS Microservices

Event processing pipelines, compliance engines, digital twin models, and batch evaluation.

Istio Service Mesh

Zero-trust security, mTLS, traffic shaping, observability, and multi-region consistency.

Impact & Results

  • 40% reduction in spoilage incidents.
  • Real-time audit trails enabling 100% compliance visibility.
  • Global active-active redundancy with zero downtime failover.
  • Predictive alerts increased operational efficiency by 35%.
