Protection of foodstuffs in storage warehouses system

Abstract

Stores face many challenges in preserving foodstuffs, ranging from marketing, viruses, microbes, spoilage, theft of stores, and difficulty in storing. In this paper, a system was proposed to dispose of and analyze the conditions in which foodstuffs are stored, and this paper developed advanced and new methods that can be used to sense the intrusion into warehouses, track expired materials, and set alerts on changing temperature and humidity inside the warehouse. In addition, the paper will also include the development of IoT (Internet of Things) from Arduino mega, GSM, PIR Motion sensor, LCD Screen, Rtc Realtime, and DH T22 sensor. To reduce the theft or entry of animals inside the warehouse, this system used motion sensor by using the PIR Motion sensor, Arduino mega and GSM technology, the sensor will send alerts to the Arduino. Likewise, when the temperature and humidity change, the DH T22 sensor is used, and it will send notifications and alerts. Finally, the expiration dates of the product are stored inside the Rtc Realtime and it is compared and integrated with the Arduino mega by sending notifications in the GSM responsible for tracking the products. Due to the reliance on the Internet of Things, theft will be reduced, and result to an improved warehouse management by efficiently monitoring temperature and humidity inside the warehouse.
