Utilization of IoT Technology to Optimize Business Processes in Oyster Mushroom Houses

Abstract

Mushroom cultivation, particularly oyster mushroom farming, often encounters significant challenges in maintaining optimal environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and air quality. These factors are critical for mushroom growth, and any imbalance can negatively impact production quality and yield. Traditional mushroom farms largely depend on manual monitoring, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to inefficiencies, especially when rapid environmental changes occur. This study examines the potential impact of implementing Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance the business processes of oyster mushroom farms that currently rely on manual methods. IoT integration enables real-time monitoring and automated control of environmental parameters, reducing the risks of production failures and improving operational efficiency. By analyzing existing research and simulating IoT implementation in mushroom farming, this study explores how IoT can optimize resource usage, lower operational costs, and improve the consistency of yield quality. This research highlights IoT as a viable solution to overcome traditional challenges in mushroom cultivation and offers insights into the strategic advantages of IoT for small-scale agribusinesses.
