Automated food grain monitoring system for warehouse using IOT

Abstract

One of the most significant sources of income in a developing nation like India is agriculture. Good food storage is essential for ensuring food security, which is impacted by both food loss and wastage. Therefore, if losses can be decreased, there will be more food available. To maintain good storage facilities and stop food losses in this project, an IoT-enabled monitoring system will be deployed in remote locations with restricted access. This proposed system tracks and controls warehouse variables like grain level, temperature, humidity, vibration, CO, motion and smoke, all of which have a big impact on grains and their weight. If any of the sensors in this parameter falls below or above the threshold value, the control action will be initiated. The data from the sensors is collected by the PIC microcontroller, which then sends it to the cloud via the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) module. Multiple sensor nodes will be deployed throughout the warehouse, and each of which provides information on the warehouse environment via Short Message Service (SMS) and mobile application.
