1) IOT BASED FOOD QUALITY MONITORING USING LOW COST


SENSORS
Abstract: The evolution of multipurpose sensors over the last decades has been investigated with
the aim of developing innovative devices with applications in several fields of technology,
including in the food industry. The integration of such sensors in food packaging technology has
paved the way for intelligent food packaging. These integrated systems are capable of providing
reliable information about the quality of the packed products during their storage period. To
accomplish this goal, intelligent packs use a variety of sensors suited for monitoring the quality
and safety of food products by recording the evolution of parameters like the quantity of
pathogen agents, gases, temperature, humidity and storage period. This technology, when
combined with IoT, is able to provide a lot more information than conventional food inspection
technologies, which are limited to weight, volume, color and aspect inspection. The original
system described in this work relies on a simple but effective method of integrated food
monitoring, right at the client home, suitable for user prepared vacuum-packed foods. It builds
upon the IoT concept and is able to create a network of interconnected devices. By using this
approach, we are able to combine actuators and sensing devices also providing a common
operating picture (COP) by sharing information over the platforms. More precisely, our system
consists of gas, temperature and humidity sensors, which provide the essential information
needed for evaluating the quality of the packed product. This information is transmitted
wirelessly to a computer system providing an interface where the user can observe the evolution
of the product quality over time.

Fig: Block diagram of food quality monitoring system

Food safety and hygiene is a major concern in order to prevent the food wastage. The Quality of
the food needs to be monitored and it must be prevented from rotting and decaying by the
atmospheric factors like temperature, humidity and dark. Therefore, it is useful to deploy quality
monitoring devices at food stores. These quality monitoring devices keep a watch on the
environmental factor that cause or pace up decay of the food. Later, the environmental factors
can be controlled like by refrigeration, vacuum storage etc. In this project, a similar food quality
monitoring device will be designed that will keep watch of environmental factors like
temperature, humidity, alcohol content air pressure. The device is built node MCU (ESP8266)
which is a popular prototyping board. The node MCU board is interfaced with various sensors
like DHT-11 to monitor temperature and humidity, MQ3 to detect alcohol content, pressure
sensor to measure the air pressure in the food container and MQ5 to detect the methane gas. This
is an IoT device and sends the measured sensor data to an IoT platform. The ESP8266 Wi-Fi
Modem is interfaced to connect it to the internet via Wi-Fi router. The sensor data is also
displayed on a character LCD interfaced with the node MCU. The IOT platform used for logging
and monitoring of sensor data is Freeboard.io. With the power of Internet of Things, the
environmental factors affecting the food storage can be monitored from anywhere, anytime and
from any device. Many such devices can be installed at a location for better monitoring and
quality control. The Arduino Sketch running over the device implements the various
functionalities of the project like reading sensor data, converting them into strings, displaying
them on character LCD and passing them to the IoT platform. The Sketch is written, compiled
and loaded using the Arduino IDE.

2) Password Based Circuit Breaker


Abstract: Password Based Circuit Breaker is a simple project that helps in controlling the
electrical lines with the help of a password. Nowadays, electrical accidents to the line man are
increasing, while repairing the electrical lines due to the lack of communication between the
electrical substation and maintenance staff. This project gives a solution to this problem to
ensure line man safety. In this proposed system, the control (ON/OFF) of the electrical lines lies
with line man. This project is arranged in such a way that maintenance staff or line man has to
enter the password to ON/OFF the electrical line. Now, if there is any fault in electrical line,
then the line man will switch off the power supply to the line by entering password and
comfortably repair the electrical line, and after coming to the substation line man switch on the
supply to the particular line by entering the password. Separate passwords are assigned for
each electrical line.

The main component in the circuit is 8051 microcontroller in this project 4×4 keypad is used to
enter the password. The password which is entered is compared with the predefined password. If
entered password is correct, then the corresponding electrical line is turned ON or OFF. In this
project, a separate password is provided to each electrical line. Activation and deactivation of the
line (circuit breaker) is indicated by the load (Light Bulbs).

3) Rain Alarm

Abstract: Rain Alarm Project is a simple but very useful project that detects Rain (Rain Water)
and automatically triggers an alarm or buzzer. Water is a basic need in every one’s life. Saving
water and proper usage of water is very important. Here is an easy project which will give the
alarm when there is rain, so that we can make some actions for rain water harvesting and also
save the rain water for using it later. With the help of saving this rain water through rain water
harvesting, we can increase the levels of underground water by using underwater recharge
technique. Rain water detector will detect the rain and make an alert; rain water detector is used
in the irrigation field, home automation, communication, automobiles etc. Here is the simple and
reliable circuit of rain water detector which can be constructed at low cost. In this project, we
have designed a simple Rain Alarm Circuit, which, upon detecting rain, will activate a buzzer.
Based on the buzzer, we can take necessary actions.

Figure: Block diagram of the system

The block diagram of the Rain Alarm Project is shown in the above image. The three main
components of the project are the Rain Water Sensor, 555 Timer IC and Buzzer. When the Rain
Water Sensor detects the Rain, it sends a signal to the 555 Timer. The 555 Timer IC, which is
configured in it’s astable mode, will then activate the Buzzer.
