For example, in tomato farming it covers seed, soil, fertilizer and water supply, growing tomatoes, delivering tomatoes to a central hub, transporting them to a supermarkets local hub, transporting to the individual supermarket, being put out on display, then sold to a consumer and taken home to eat. Each step is like the links in a chain. > 🎓 The transportation part of the supply chain is know as *logistics*. -In these 4 lessons you'll learn how to apply the Internet of Things to improve the supply chain by monitoring food as it is loaded onto a (virtual) truck which is tracked as it moves to it's destination. You will learn about GPS tracking, how to store and visualize GPS data, and how to be alerted when a truck arrives at its destination. +In these 4 lessons, you'll learn how to apply the Internet of Things to improve the supply chain by monitoring food as it is loaded onto a (virtual) truck, which is tracked as it moves to it's destination.
