Abstract
The project is aimed at designing a monitoring system for a travel cold storage unit which helps to reduce the wastage of food products that are preserved at frozen temperature due to the lack of detailed observation of the cold storage unit while transporting from manufacturer to dealer. Therefore, it would be advantageous to implement a monitoring system for a cold storage unit based on IoT technology that analyzes the temperature, location and various parameters inside the unit. In this monitoring system, the temperature of the cold storage unit can be observed anytime by the manufacturer and dealer using NodeMCU programmed by Arduino Software. Also, the temperature of the cold storage unit is sensed by a temperature sensor and if the temperature of the unit exceeds the desired temperature then it will give an alert message to both ends by using GSM technology, and the location of the transporting unit is detected through the GPS technology. The system will be operated by solar panel which will provide supply to the cold storage unit. Hence, this system works effectively to avoid unnecessary wastage of food products.
