IoT Monitoring

IoT monitoring connects temperature, humidity, pH sensors to the internet, enabling real-time remote surveillance of fermentation environments. Data accumulates in the cloud, with alerts for anomalies.

Traditionally, toji monitored koji rooms overnight. IoT complements this, allowing status checks from remote locations. Accumulated data enables temperature profile analysis and koji-making optimization. Technology does not destroy tradition — it supports it.

Beyond temperature and humidity, IoT sensors now capture CO2 concentration and weight changes. Cloud-accumulated data combined with AI analysis holds potential for automatically deriving optimal koji-making parameters. The fusion of digital technology and fermentation has only just begun.
