Development of Web-based Smart Monitoring System using IoT & Mobile Application for Grapes Drying Unit

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) is one of the leading technologies that is used in many fields and departments. This IoT technology has made the working of systems easier and more hassle-free. This IoT is having tremendous usage and application in the agricultural fields making farmers’ life easier. This IoT technology is used for automation in the agricultural fields to monitor various parameters in real time, helping the farmers in yielding good crops. One such smart system used to safeguard raisins from the climatic changes has been proposed in this research. The drying of grapes requires specific temperature and humidity to be maintained to attain good yield. There is always a possibility of sudden unexpected rains, and it would be difficult for the people to close the sheds of such large drying units and also it is a time-consuming process. In such cases, this model is used where the sheds automatically get closed with the help of the motors and input from the rainfall sensor. Also, additional features such as flame alarm and buzzer module, which help in detecting the fire and informing the farmer about the danger to take immediate action, are used. All these controlling and monitoring are done by making use of the IoT technology and the WSN.
