Mapping Factors Affecting IoT Deployment in Storage Sector of Wheat Supply Chain

Abstract

Studies show that there are shortcomings in the deployment of the Internet ofThings (IoT) in the supply chain of agricultural products, especially in thefield of quality control in the logistics sector, and researchers can model theexisting theoretical gaps through modeling and optimization. Therefore, thepurpose of this paper is to identify the most important categories affectingthe deployment of the Internet of Things in the wheat supply chain storagesector and explain and mapping the relationship between these categories.For this purpose, the present article uses meta-synthesis method by searchingWeb of Science and Scopus citation databases. Then, the grounded theorycoding procedures were used to determine categories and themes. Finally,the results of meta-synthesis lead to the identification and extraction of 3macro categories; IoT technology, the main category (IoT-based storage),and the results and consequences of IoT deployment.
