Systematic Storage Management System for Eco Friendly Agriculture Using IoT

Efficient storage of harvested crops true is a key to reduce post-harvest losses and guarantee a good quality on the food, whereas traditional storage systems generally are not equipped to dynamically control environmental conditions. This paper proposes a Systematic Storage Management System (SSMS) to eco-agriculture base on Internet of Things (IoT) to realize the automation of monitoring and controlling of storage key parameter. The proposed system combines temperature, humidity and gas sensors with microcontroller, and Wi-Fi/LoRa/ZigBee wireless communication modules, permitting real time data acquisition and remote access via cloud platform. Farmaers can view storage conditions control remotely, get alerts in real time ,manage control parameters via web & mobile based user interface. Given a 7-day experiment, it was proven that the system was able to maintain temperature and humidity at optimal ranges, control ventilation itself depending on the gas concentration, and save up to 20% of energy consumption compared to the traditional solutions. The modular, scaleable design makes the system versatile for variety of agricultural storage application, aiding to Increased sustainability, Reduced spoilage and better food security.
