Abstract

The study proposes a cold storage horticulture monitoring system designed to ensure optimal storage conditions for the horticulture products, thereby preserving quality and extending shelf life. The system integrates rechargeable batteries, a voltage regulator, and MOSFET technology to regulate the data collection and processing through the Arduino and NodeMCU. Environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, and gas levels are monitored using various sensors, while a DC fan regulates airflow for temperature uniformity. The GSM module enables real time monitoring. This system offers a solution for enhancing the quality and shelf life of horticultural products.
