An Automated System for Food Monitoring Using Internet of Things

Agriculture is a major source of revenue in a growing country like India. Food safety monitoring practices enable the early detection and prevention of food borne illnesses. Reducing food loss and waste is one factor that affects the availability of food, making appropriate food preservation essential. In the proposed work researchers are investigating creative techniques to preserve the freshness of decaying food, which are subject to deterioration owing to numerous effects like moisture, precipitation, and temperature changes, in order to extend the shelf life of food. To maintain food quality norms, efficient surveillance systems for food deterioration are required. In this study, we offer a prototype system for managing storage and tracking food quality. This suggested system monitors and manages storage conditions such as methane gas level, humidity and temperature all of which have a significant impact on food. The alerts will be sent to the warehouse owners if any of the sensors in this parameter exceeds the threshold value. The microcontroller collects data from the sensors and transfers it to the mobile application using Bluetooth HC-05 module. In this paper to reduce food spoiling and maintain ideal conditions by actively managing the storage environment. Additionally, based on the quality and state of the food, owners are informed of the extent of food spoilage through notifications delivered to their register mobile phones with the aid of the GSM module. The used model will effectively prevent food losses.
