Silkworm Incubator

Sericulture is the production of raw silk from Silkworms. China is largest silk producer which is about approximately 70%, Whereas India is the second largest producer about 18%. So, there is a need of automation to increase the production of silk. Now-a-days everything will be automatically controlled and operated. Maintaining the right temperature and humidity inside a silkworm farm is crucial for the silkworms to grow properly. This can be a challenging task because the environment needs to be carefully controlled to ensure that the silkworms are healthy and productive. If the temperature or humidity is too high or too low, it can cause problems for the silkworms and reduce their growth rate. Therefore, maintaining the right environmental conditions is one of the main challenges in silkworm rearing process. This study aims to investigate how parameters like temperature, humidity, air circulation, luminosity and gases like carbon-di-oxide, smoke affect the embryonic development of silkworm. In this article we are explaining our prototype Silkworm Incubator. It involves the following: Whenever the temperature is high LED will be turned off, cooling fan will be turned on and vice versa (Temperature and Humidity sensor, Light sensor, cooling fan, LED connected with NodeMCU and executed).
