The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
India produces 146 million tons of vegetables (NHB report, 2011) and the total area under vegetable cultivation is around 8.5 million. Potato, tomato, onion, cabbage and brinjal account for around 60% of the total vegetable production in terms of quantity. India’s annual fruit production is 75 million tons (NHB report, 2011) and the total area under fruit cultivation is around 6.3 million. Fresh fruits and vegetables play a vital role in Indian context and their marketing works as an influencing force in the economy. Creation of proper fruit and vegetable supply chain system by incorporating technology will link together farmers, vegetable vendors, farmer's self-help groups and women vegetable/fruits vendors ensuring the availability of quality produce to consumers at a convenient time.
The present invention is to design a smart buffer solution which provides the preventive information to farmer and vendors to overcome fester of different kind of vegetables and fruits by providing the passive tage to all intelligent container which gives the information to controller for proper supply chain of all consumable goods to the comsumer.
For this purpose we have created an embedded design that will aware the stockroom owner to save the vegetables and fruit to decompose. The proposed design provides a smart buffer solution which provides the duration details to the owner with incoming date of container in stockroom. The purpose of this design to help the stockroom owner from the fester of veges and fruits. Using this smart mechanism, the owner can first sale that container of veges and fruit that will fester first.

A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip. An RF transmitter module is a small PCB sub-assembly capable of transmitting a radio wave and modulating that wave to carry data. Transmitter modules are usually implemented alongside a microcontroller which will provide data to the module which can be transmitted.
The RF transmitter receives serial data and transmits it wirelessly through its RF antenna. The transmission occurs at the rate of 1 Kbps – 10 Kbps. RF receiver receives the transmitted data, and it is operating at the same frequency as that of the transmitter. LoRa Basics Modem is an open-source software library that takes advantage of the 2.4GHz band for worldwide interoperability. LoRa Basics Modem-E offers out-of-the-box integration with Semtech's Cloud Services, such as geolocation features for locating devices in the field.
A device providing power to electronic equipment and sometimes designated A, B, or C according to its function of heating vacuum tube cathodes, causing a flow of electron current in plate circuits, or applying a direct voltage in grid circuits.
