By using a drying technique, factories are able to turn virtually all plant waste into products such as mango flour and mango tea. This frees up dumpsites of hazardous material and has the added effect of generating more business for communities. The team at Coventry has now helped to streamline and automate this drying process by introducing a full end-to-end environmental monitoring system based on wireless sensor networks.
