Development of IoT Enabled Vegetable Stockpile Warehouse Monitoring System to Support Farmers

Nowadays, farmers are facing a lot of issues regarding environmental conditions, cost inflation, and so on. In addition to these issues, a major drawback facing every day is safely maintaining the harvested products. So, new technological assistance is required to support farmers to come out from this issue. A lot of the stored grain spoils in the warehouse are due to temperature inconsistency and certain other climate factors. One of the main causes of this loss is the impossibility of maintaining perfect control over the insi de parameters of a storage unit. Grain quality may be maintained and storage losses can be minimized with timely, meaningful, and reliable to create a method to upload sensor readings to a remote cloud server and get the necessary facts from there. In this paper. Temperature readings, humidity readings, and other environmental characteristics are detected by using the proposed methodology because these parameters cause a significant impact on the nutritional value of vegetables. This system allows users to monitor respective sensor data in real-time and provide the user the ability to regulate adjustments. The Internet of Things (IOT) oriented Wi-Fi assistance creates the physical system structure for the supervision module, detailing the operation of numerous connections and sensors in precision as well as evaluating the outcomes of warehouse monitoring system design. The proposed solution employs existing IOT technologies and utilizes a Wi-Fi enabled NodeMCU controller to collect and transmit sensor data. The collected data is analyzed and processed using software to provide timely information and notifications to the relevant personnel regarding the warehouse’s environmental conditions. The system also offers corrective actions to address emerging scenarios. In terms of warehouse information storage, the IOT-based cloud-enabled solution provides significant advantages over the traditional paradigm. Extensive monitoring was conducted at various locations such as Erode, Coimbatore, Trichy, Salem, and Thiruchengode to guarantee system stability and optimize performance. By carefully observing these locations, valuable data and insights were collected to evaluate and enhance the system’s performance. The monitoring approach played a vital role in ensuring the deployment’s success by ensuring reliability, efficiency, and the ability to maintain desired conditions in indoor rooms containing potatoes and onions.
