Remote Monitoring of Perishable Goods  

Abstract

Food safety is imperative to avoid food borne diseases and to ensure the public health. Monitoring of perishable food products and early detection of degradation will avoid loss due to food wastage and also ensures the freshness of food. In this scenario, remote monitoring of fruits during transportation from field to shelf can ensure the quality of fruit. In this work, a wireless sensor network was designed for monitoring of fruits during transportation and even after storage. Internet of things was also used for facilitating online monitoring of fruits from any remote location. Raspberry pi was used as sensor node and gateway node. It has performed the fusion of sensor data such as temperature, humidity and moisture to avoid redundant data storage and increase the efficiency of decision making.

Remote Monitoring of Perishable Goods System Project Provides Real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity controlled containers,trailers, pallets or boxes with pharmaceutical or perishable goods. The Cello Track Nano enables on-the-fly responses when deviations from the required temperature boundaries occur, and guarantees compliance with the strictest cold chain regulations.This review paper discusses opportunities for intelligent packaging for monitoring directly or indirectly quality attributes of perishable packaged foods.
