In the food and beverage industry, maintaining optimal temperature conditions is crucial for ensuring product quality and safety. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled real-time temperature monitoring through sensor networks, providing a wealth of data that can be harnessed for predictive analytics. This study presents a robust method for analyzing and forecasting IoT temperature data, specifically tailored to the operational dynamics of the food and beverage sector. By leveraging exponential smoothing techniques and a learning approach, we aim to present an algorithm capable of delivering accurate temperature forecasts to support proactive decision-making.
