Abstract

ABSTRACTIn order to prevent food wastage, food safety and hygiene must be a priority. The quality of the food must be monitored and the food must not rot or decay due to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, gases, fire and intruders. Therefore, it is beneficial to have quality monitoring devices in food stores. Quality monitoring devices keep an eye on the environmental factors that cause or accelerate the decay of food. Depending on the requirement, environmental factors can also be controlled such as refrigeration or vacuum storage. In this project work, we are focusing on a food monitoring system that proposes the systematic use of various sensors for the quality and quantity monitoring and control of the food materials. A smart food monitoring system is a device that controls the various parameters that cause decay or rotting in food materials, thus ensuring the appropriate quality of the food during different atmospheric changes. This type of storage aims at preserving the fresh food for a certain amount of time. However, food safety is often not sufficiently ensured due to lack of technology and ignorance about the effects of humidity and temperature on raw materials. The main objective of this research is to reduce the monitoring of humans and to develop an Internet based real time temperature and humidity monitoring using the very available DHT-22. Sensor and ESP-32 module.
