The objective of this bachelor thesis is the presentation of the monitoring - telemetry system which has been implemented and applied in a small industrial scale olive oil facility located at ATEITH, the Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki. The design architecture of the system is based on the wider technological context of monitoring the production processes in the agricultural and food sector, a context that can provide significant advances in equipment life and product quality and furthermore improve visibility and trackability in the digital supply chain context. Additionally, automation and control are of major importance for sustainable and flexible production systems in order to minimize costs and reduce down time. Linked to all the previous is the design of an efficient Monitoring and Control software Tool (MCT) that gathers the operation data of the olive oil production facility and provides the corresponding charting and information functions. Initial results and information obtained constitute a solid basis on which to found a future full scale application of the proposed tool that can also be responsible not only for the charting but also for the control functions to all the stages of the production
