Effective inventory management is crucial in the agro-food industry, particularly for perishable goods. The increasing demand for efficient tracking and monitoring systems has led to the exploration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as a potential solution. This study aims to investigate the application of WSNs in perishable agro-food inventory management to enhance product quality, reduce waste, and improve overall supply chain efficiency. The research begins by reviewing the existing literature on inventory management techniques and WSNs in the context of the agro-food industry. The study then proposes a conceptual framework for the implementation of WSNs in perishable agro-food inventory management, considering factors such as sensor deployment, data collection and analysis, communication protocols, and decision-making processes. In order to manage and control the aforementioned issues that occur in agro-food and perishable inventory management systems, a wireless sensor network model is developed in this study. A MATLAB platform with an embedded ANN performs the model simulation. ANN training-testing is used to estimate temperature anomalies. The model is viable and useful for real-world applications, according to evaluation results of the simulator performance used in this work to estimate temperature abnormalities of cold storage/agro-based post-harvest perishable food products.
