Abstract In order to improve and optimize food traceability, it is highly recommended to start implementing a real-time tracking and remote monitoring at some stage. Wireless sensor technologies have been proven of high value due to their remote communications when retrieving data was not possible in a traditional way. The implementations of the Internet of Things (IoT) will provide intelligence to the traceability system that, combined with the most recent advancements, such as Near Field Communication (NFC) tags and temperature estimation methods, can create solid and reliable food traceability. All these concepts have to be applied to the cold chain, where most of the goods transported or stored are characterized by a limited shelf life, and the intensive control can lead to money savings. There are still many limitations and challenges, but it is shown in this chapter how real-time tracking and remote monitoring can reveal, in many cases, unseen issues, reduce undesired situations, reduce handling of goods, and reduce food waste.
