# Food Waste-Preventing Devices The Lora-Enabled Temperature Sensors Reduce Restaurant Food Waste By Grace Mahas | Published 2019-08-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loraenabled-temperature-sensors References: [iotbusinessnews](https://iotbusinessnews.com/2019/08/21/99700-semtechs-lora-devices-prevent-food-waste-in-restaurants/) & [gndsolutions.in](http://www.gndsolutions.in/) GND Solutions, an IoT technology company, recently launched a new IoT device that will drastically reduce [food waste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expiremate) and operational cost -- the Lora-Enabled Temperature Sensors. The device is able to monitor humidity and heat in real-time, allowing managers to closely monitor food conditions and extend the product's shelf life. The Lora-Enabled Temperature Sensors are wirelessly installed into a [restaurant's refrigerator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redyref-smart-food-fridge) and the device's battery can operate for up to two years. The smart gadget is able to accurately measure a wide range of temperatures, ranging from -40°C to 100°C. This device is hugely beneficial to restaurants that reportedly waste $161 billion worth of food annually. The Lora-Enabled Temperature Sensors will reduce human error when and increase the efficiency of [food management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-store-suite) to save a restaurant up to 40 percent of its operational cost.
