Smart warehouse monitoring using IoT

Abstract

A warehouse is a mercantile architecture for entrepot of stuff. Warehouses are used by producers, dealers, traders, wholesalers, distributors, customs, etc. The use of a smart WMS is the cherry on top of all of your smart technology. This warehouse should be screened at regular intervals to reduce storage cost of food grains due to atmospheric conditions and are documented. With the enlargement of business and the continuous requirements of the food product multiplicity, old-style granary management prototype will not meet that, due to its heavy capacity and low proficiency. To mitigate the manual labour work and to make the work easier, a smart warehouse is implemented which is enabled with several sensors and technologies. This paper intends to develop an IoT based smart warehouse monitoring system. The network of sensors includes vibration, humidity, temperature, fire sensors. It is done with the help of current technology (IoT). Raspberry pi controller adopts IoT technology to convey the messages. Based on the sensor’s data the appropriate data is captured and manipulated based on the limit given in the software and send timely information to the concern department officials of Central warehouse corporation through SMS for moderation and corrective actions arising due to atmospheric conditions inside the warehouse. The system developed has great advantages compared with the traditional model in terms of cloud storage of the warehouse data.
