Fog-based AI predicts cold-chain temperature on edge hardware

Researchers have successfully deployed a fog-based deep learning system for real-world cold-chain temperature prediction, marking a first for this application. The system, utilizing an LSTM-GRU model on a Raspberry Pi 4 in South Africa, operates without cloud dependency and predicts temperature with an MAE of 0.2°C. It delivers predictions in under a second and can generate conditional SHAP explanations when a cold-chain break is anticipated, attributing predictions to temperature and humidity. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the feasibility of explainable AI for real-time temperature forecasting on resource-constrained edge devices in cold chains.
