IoT Device for Food Storage

The integration of IoT technology provides realtime, data-driven monitoring that reduces waste and maintains the quality of the food, changing the way food is preserved and managed. This research focuses on the development and implementation of an Arduino-based IoT device for monitoring freshness, temperature, and humidity in storage food environments. Equipped with an MQ-4 methane sensor and DHT11 sensor, the system detects spoilage indicators and environmental conditions and opens an exhaust fan if the moisture has been in excess. The BLYNK IoT app provides instant information to the user about storage conditions, thus ensuring efficient and proactive food management. This product finds answers to some of the main food-related storage challenges by offering scalable and effective solutions for enhanced freshness and reduced spoilage.
