In South Africa some mothers of newborns are common victims of reduced lactation. This forces them to turn to formula milk which has little to no nutritional value for their newborns. Subsequently, the Department of Health (DoH) has existing milk banks within medical facilities where donated milk are stored and donated to the mothers in need of milk for their newborns. Subsequently, this report discusses three business problems of the milk banks; firstly, a way to monitor the essential climatic factors in the milk bank storage facilities, such as temperature and humidity. Secondly, a way to control and monitor milk banks that get stored and transported between the various milk bank facilities and lastly, provide the Department of Health (DoH) with real-time statistics about the stock level and location of these milk banks. Moreover, the IoT BTB eLogistics monitoring system was developed to resolve the three issues that were mentioned above. Furthermore, the methodology for the system is as follows: A thingsBoard.io instance will be installed on a personal computer; this instance will provide a GUI to monitor environmental information gathered from various IoT sensors, namely, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2, DHT11 Temperature and humidity sensor on PCB and, a Botletics SIM7000 LTE CAT-M1 NB-IoT Cellular + GPS + Antenna Shield Kit for Arduino (SIM7000G).Furthermore, these components will be used to measure the temperature and humidity of the milk banks and locate the donated milk that is being transported between milk banks
