A Review of Smart Automation and IOT Systems in Alignment With Halal Principles and Sustainability Goals

The dynamic expansion of the halal industry, paired with an increasing global demand for sustainable production, highlights the need for technological innovation that helps to fortify halal integrity while improving production efficiency. The purpose of this study is to highlight the synergy of halal integrity compliance and sustainability in the integration of smart automation systems and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors within the aquaculture and agriculture sectors. Smart automation reduces the reliance on manual operations, minimising human error, and enables consistent monitoring of the processes within those sectors. While IoT sensors provide real-time data on critical parameters such as water quality, feed utilisation and environmental conditions. The discussion highlights how these technologies contribute to halal compliance and sustainability through enhanced traceability, transparent processes and prevention of cross-contamination. Furthermore, integration of these technologies strengthens the alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper concludes that while the implementation of these technologies may present high initial investments, the strategic adoption of automation and IoT can strengthen the halal integrity and equally position these industries in greater resilience and efficiency, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the halal sector
