Project Title

IOT Based Smart Food Monitoring System

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

In the era of technology advancement, everything requires monitoring and controlling. In this project we aims to use an internet of things framework for facilitating food monitoring for protection of the food, so that it would not get contaminated due to surrounding conditions during storage and transportation. In present scenario, the work done is in terms of the sensed value that have been recorded and a detailed analysis has been performed but automated controlled alternatives are not present. We aim to make a system that analyzes temperature, moisture, light as these parameters affect nutritional values of food items such as fruits and vegetables ,and makes the analysis results accessible to the user via a mobile application(sms).

A web server is used for storage of data values sensed in real time and also for analysis of results. User is alerted via messages along with locations of the shipment whenever an emergency occurs in this solution, heterogeneous sensors for various domains are employed for sensing the condition of food.

Project Objectives
  1. To maintain the safety and hygiene of the food to keep it fresh and edible which helps in decreasing the food wastage.
  2. To maintain suitable environmental conditions for the stored food to control the rate of decomposition.
Project Implementation Method

Implemented tools and technologies that will be used in this project is a Arduino Mega which can help us to work with the number of sensors at a time The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module connected to the Arduino uploads the data to Cloud Server. For displaying and monitoring data uploaded to the Cloud server,GSM800 is use to accomplish almost anything a normal cell phone can; SMS text messages, Make or receive phone calls, connecting to internet through GPRS, 16*2 LCD is used to display data, DHT11 is a relative humidity sensor. To measure the surrounding air this sensor uses a capacitive humidity sensor.  CH4 gas detector can accurately measure the presence of this combustible gas., Light ,Fan , Buzzer is also used in the project. Embedded C as the programming language, Thing Speak is used for communicating with device.

Benefits of the Project
  1. Save fruits and vegetables for longer time.
  2. Maintain hygiene and clean environment.
  3. Save data into cloud for future analysis.
  4.  Reduce the commercial loss.
  5. Increase commercial profit.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Our software aims to deliver a well-packed system that is able to monitor the quality of food .it must be prevented from routing and decaying atmospheric factors like temperature, humidity and darkness Therefore, it is useful to deploy quality monitoring devices at food stores .These quality monitoring devices keep a watch on the environmental factors that cause or pace up decay of the food. If the environmental factors that is discussed above affect the quality device sends notification to owner or manger mobile by using thing speak
