Abstract
The agriculture sector plays a pivotal role in Pakistan because agriculture is the source of food production that provides direct cultivation to the state and, as we are all familiar with that, the most challenging task is to provide grains during droughts and pandemic situations. Grains are essential among food products because of their large contribution to food for the country's population. Thus, automatically making grain storage equally important, but the grain storing system in Pakistan is very poor currently. And because of that poor system, we lose a considerable amount every year in the storing process. We are in such a period that, along with the population, the need for food is steadily rising, so we do not have the luxury of wasting anything that we produce to feed. To effectively maintain and overcome grain damage, it is critical to design or develop a grain storage monitoring system based on current research and proposed technologies. The design and development of grain storage monitoring system is achievable with the deployment of IoT sensor IoT technology. Furthermore, this research deals with deployments of sensors in the grain storage monitoring area which ensures the accumulation of real-time data and then analyze and come up with a decision to overcome abnormal situations which happen in the grain storage area. It's a wifi-based monitoring system that uses esp32 embedded with multi-sensors that must be helpful during grain storage in the warehouse. A device in the warehouse will be installed, which will provide information about the on-going conditions of the stored grains and will also send alert notifications with a buzzer through the android application by an associated device that makes stored grains easily monitored and manageable. It may prove to be helpful for sustaining the quality of grains & preventing any potential damage. It can also be very effective for the workers in the warehouse because it will enable them to manage grains easily by monitoring the current condition of stored grains.
