Automated Rain Shed System for Crop Protection using Arduino

Agricultural nations like Bangladesh experience significant crop losses due to unseasonal rainfall, negatively impacting the economy. This project proposes an automated shed system designed to protect crops and plants from unexpected rain in a cost-effective, innovative, and efficient manner. The system operates autonomously, utilizing a rain sensor to detect rainfall and trigger the automatic opening of the shed. Once the rain stops, the shed closes automatically, ensuring minimal human intervention. The system incorporates an umbrella-like shed mechanism, powered by a high-torque motor and controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. By implementing this automated rain protection system, farmers can safeguard their crops, leading to increased agricultural productivity and enhanced economic stability in the sector.
