Abstract
Internet of things technology is adopted in every field. Our proposed Smart cold storage and inventory monitoring system uses sensor-based IoT technology to offer remote monitoring and tracking the produce. Our paper proposed methodology is early warning alerts and notifications in critical conditions. It enables end-end visibility and accountability across the entire product value chain. The perishable goods are often required to travel thousands of miles by land, air, water transport facilities to reach their final destination. It creates a lot of pressure on tracking the companies using the cold storage supporters for the distribution of the food and maintain a certain temperature during the entire journey. This mainly causes a panic situation for the business owners, stakeholders and industrialists. It may also cause damage to the inventory system and time. Our system enables endless real time monitoring. It helps in controlling the losses which occur for business. As per the research India has 7645 cold storage facilities, out of these about 68% is used to store vegetables. And remaining 32% is used for storing other commodities. In the proposed cold storage system Temperature and Humidity sensor, Ultrasonic sensor, Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller board and Mobile application are used.
