, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a monitoring system. The present invention more particularly relates to a system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness based on IOT.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
In traditional commerce, fresh fruits are often sold to end consumers through multiple intermediaries, such as whole-salers, distributors and retailers, In the traditional retailing channel, fresh fruits are first picked on farms and then transported to local processing centers(LPCs) where fruits are washed, cooled, packaged, and soon. Then, the processed fruits are often purchased by wholesalers who will either store the fruits in their warehouses or directly transport them to their distributors. After receiving the fruits, distributors in consumption are as often deliver fruits other respective retailers. Finally, the retail-ready fruits have to be stocked on retailers’ shelves until customers come into the stores and buy them. Due to the complicated process of moving produce from farmers to retailers, it often takes along time and high costs before retailers can stock fruits on their shelves for end consumers to buy. In order to maintain freshness, fruits are often transported in cold chain systems, although proportion of fruits will spoil during transport and be thrown away regardless. As a result, fresh fruits often have relatively high retail prices.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
So there is a need for a system which can monitor and assess fruit freshness in IOT-based e-commerce delivery. The present invention is a system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness. The present invention helps in reducing prices of the fruits with minimal effort and high productivity of fruits. The present invention helps to ensure the shopper through quicker and more exact recognizable proof of fruits. The present invention gives the insights about fruit data for the purchasers and fruit quality and security checking.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
The main object of the present invention is to provide a system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness with the help of IOT.
Another object of the present invention is to help in reducing prices of the fruits with minimal effort and high productivity of fruits.
Other objects and benefits of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to bind the scope of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
Accordingly, a system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness with the help of IOT is disclosed. A system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness comprising of; Sensor tagging network; Database of the website for storing all the data; Internet network such as WiFi and Communication network such as GPS or GPRS.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Fig 1 is the flowchart for the system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness with the help of IOT.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH RESPECT TO DRAWINGS:
The present invention is a system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness. The present invention helps in reducing prices of the fruits with minimal effort and high productivity of fruits. The present invention helps to ensure the shopper through quicker and more exact recognizable proof of fruits. The present invention gives the insights about fruit data for the purchasers and fruit quality and security checking.
In one embodiment, The monitoring system for maintaining fruit freshness comprising of;
Sensor tagging network;
Communication network such as GPS or GPRS;
Wifi network such as internet.
Database of the website for storing all the data .
Farm module could collect environment data on farms using equipment such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, photosensitive sensors, CO2 sensors, soil sensors and cameras. The sensor information collected in this module is transferred to data processing servers and stored in the servers (database of the website).
Vehicles are equipped with cooling and sensing subsystems. The objective of the cooling subsystem is to maintain the vehicle environment within the most suitable conditions for maintaining the freshness of in-transit fruits. The sensing sub-system is a precondition for controlling the vehicle environment. The present invention is a RFID sensor based system.
After being picked on farms, fruits are transported to LCPs. Fresh fruit processing includes washing, cooling, and packaging in the LCP unit.. Tagging of RFID sensors to fruits. Information written in the RFID sensors might include places of origin, growth conditions, processing procedures, transport service providers, designated EDCs, and end customers. Using this information, fruit orders can be smoothly transported from LPCs to customers.
EDC unit . Fruits are collected from various LPCs and distributed to their corresponding customer areas. A specific EDC often receives fruit orders from various farms, and a specific transport vehicle often visits multiple EDCs at which fruits need to be transferred from large transport trucks to medium-sized or small vehicles. Traditional manual sorting at EDCs is often time consuming. RFID readers,which can automatically recognize and sort tagged fruits into batches,are used in the EDC module to reduce the time needed to transfer fruit orders at EDCs.
Communication unit:The information is often communicated with the customers through Wifi or mobile based application or GPS or GPRS.
In another embodiment, A system for monitoring and assessing fruit freshness comprising of;
a. Sensor tagging network;
b. Database of the website for storing all the data;
c. Internet network such as WiFi;
d. Communication network such as GPS or GPRS.
