4. DESCRIPTION
This project focuses on developing a Smart Agro- Vehicle for Freshness Monitoring,
aimed at enhancing agricultural management and ensuring the quality of perishable produce
during transportation. Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, including a network of
sensors and Wi-Fi for data transmission, this system provides farmers and transport managers
with real-time, reliable monitoring throughout the journey. Key components include sensors
like the DHTII for temperature and humidity tracking, the MQ 135 for detecting spoilage
gases, and an ultrasonic sensor for monitoring the cargo's positioning.
The system continuously gathers critical environmental data, enabling effortless monitoring
of storage conditions during transit. Automated corrective actions, such as activating
ventilation fans or triggering alarms, are deployed when unfavorable conditions arise,
ensuring produce freshness. Additionally, the integration of a GSM module offers remote
notifications for quick interventions, reducing the risk of spoilage during transportation.
With a user-friendly interface designed for all levels of technical proficiency, this innovative
Smart Agro-Vehicle System aims to optimize the food supply chain by reducing post-harvest
losses. By providing real-time access to essential data and automating key processes, it
significantly enhances the efficiency and productivity of modern agricultural practices.
4.1 BACKGROUND ART
The background art for the Smart Agro-Vehicle Freshness Monitoring System using
Wi-Fi an<l the Blynk app effectively highlights the system's key advantages. Set in a modem
agricultural environment, the scene features a transport vehicle carrying fresh produce, with
farmers and managers actively using the Blynk app on their mobile devices to monitor realtime
data. The app allows them to seamlessly access critical information, such as temperature,
humidity, and spoilage gases, emphasizing the system's role in preserving the freshness of
perishabie goods during transit.
The artwork also emphasizes the system's automated response capabilities, showing how fans
activate and alerts are sent via the Blynk app when unfavorable environmental conditions are
detected. Wi-Fi symbols and data streams illustrate reliable information transmission over
long distances, while the app interface on mobile devices reinforces the ease of remote
monitoring and control.
Overall, the artwork dynamically represents the Smart Agro-Vehicle Freshness Monitoring
System and its integration with the Rlynk app, highlighting its ability to enhance efficiency,
security, and productivity in agricultural transportation through real-time insights and
automation.
