IoT Based Food Grain Wastage Monitoring and Controlling System for Warehouse

In India, major population dependent on agriculture. So that the grain storage plays a vital role for nation economy. The large amount of food grains are lost in the warehouse due to poor maintenance and monitoring inside the warehouse. Temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration are critical atmospheric conditions which are needed to be monitored and controlled inside the warehouse. Because these parameters can influences the gains stored inside the warehouse. The standard approaches are limited to measure the temperature and humidity conditions primarily, which are comparatively outdated. Since the other critical parameters should be considered and controlled separately in order to ensure effective storage and maintenance by adopting emerging technologies. The proposed system is designed and developed based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The proposed system effectively monitors the atmospheric conditions, rodent and insects activities inside the warehouse, simultaneously takes the necessary controlling actions and sends the notification regarding the performed controlling action to the warehouse owner/manager. In the proposed system, the program is also updated periodically via alerts. The real time experiments demonstrate that the proposed system provides efficient grain storage and maintenance with additional features. The proposed system increases the stored grain consistency and avoids the gain wastage during shipping and manual maintenance.
