Abstract
Food security has become a global major problem, due to the rapid increase in population growth. This has necessity the development of an effective agricultural products’ storage system, to alleviate the problem of food wastage. This study was embarked upon to develop a prototype of universal smart storage system for farm products, by using the internet of thing (IoT). The storage structure consists of four principal constituents which were; the power source, storage chamber, central processing system, and peripheral component interconnect (PCI) heater and PCI fan. The developed model was tested at a pre-set temperature and relative humidity of 32C and 62% RH respectively. The results revealed that the developed system had an efficiency of 85%. Though, the smart model had a failure rate of 15%, this smart prototype is a major breakthrough in the production of automated storage system for agricultural products.
