Atmega328P, Temperature Sensor, Humidity Sensor, CO2 Sensor, Wireless Sensor NetworksAbstract
Now-a-days, the applications of WSN are many and varied, and the applications in agricultural are still incipient.
The safety of food storage is a significant issue concerning people’s living quality and national economic development. In
India 20% of food grains are going as waste due to change in environmental conditions and improper infrastructure facilities
for storage. The factors mainly affect grain quality are temperature, humidity and CO2 gas release. In the food and
agricultural industry, sensors are being used for process control, monitoring quality, and accessing safety. The proposed
system is an integrated system to monitor and control the environmental factors like temperature, humidity, CO2
concentration of food depots using wireless sensor network.The system makes use of the concept ‘IOT’ for the wireless
transfer of data and for maintaining the database
