Abstract

Studies show that there are shortcomings in the deployment of the Internet of
Things (IoT) in the supply chain of agricultural products, especially in the
field of quality control in the logistics sector, and researchers can model the
existing theoretical gaps through modeling and optimization. Therefore, the
purpose of this paper is to identify the most important categories affecting
the deployment of the Internet of Things in the wheat supply chain storage
sector and explain and mapping the relationship between these categories.
For this purpose, the present article uses meta-synthesis method by searching
Web of Science and Scopus citation databases. Then, the grounded theory
coding procedures were used to determine categories and themes. Finally,
the results of meta-synthesis lead to the identification and extraction of 3
macro categories; IoT technology, the main category (IoT-based storage),
and the results and consequences of IoT deployment.
