Remote Temperature Monitoring and Alerting System

The transportation of temperature-sensitive goods requires accurate and reliable monitoring to ensure that the products remain at the desired temperature during transit. This paper presents a remote temperature monitoring and alerting system designed for transportation containers that utilize advanced technology to improve the monitoring process. The device is built using an Arduino Mega microcontroller, a DS18B20 temperature sensor, a GPS module, a GSM module SIM900A, a memory module, an RTC module, and a WiFi module ESP8266.The proposed system monitors the temperature and location of the container in real time and sends an alert to the driver and user if the temperature exceeds the acceptable range. The device can be accessed using a mobile or web application, and the Blynk IoT platform was used to showcase the outcome. The effectiveness of the system was tested in real-world scenarios. Statistical analysis was also performed to evaluate the system's performance, indicating the device’s high accuracy rate. This device has significant implications for the transportation industry, as it can improve the safety and quality of temperature-sensitive goods during transit. The proposed system can be applied in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages, to name a few. Overall, this paper provides a statistical analysis and comprehensive analysis of the remote temperature monitoring and alerting system and demonstrates a detailed description of the system architecture, methodology, and implementation.
