A unique Service Center at Fives

SMART Control™ was the very first application in the Internet of Things for the sugar industry, and has been in successful operation for several years.

Our data collection is computerized in a fully secured environment, where our customers have every required guarantee concerning data and network safety.

Fives’ engineers keep the collected and analyzed data under continuous review. Although the system performs automated calculations, human analysis is key in identifying abnormal figures and triggering alerts where and when they may be required.
