Introduction
Overview : Smart storage system or solutions, utilize advanced technology to monitor & control the conditions in which agricultural products are stored, optimizing freshness & reducing waste.
Need for Innovation : With global food demand rising, reducing post-harvest losses is crucial. Smart storage systems can significantly decrease the amount of food that spoils before it reaches consumers.
Applications Across Industries : Beyond agriculture, smart storage technologies are applicable in various sectors including retail, food distribution, & international shipping, facilitating longer shelf lives, reducing spoilage, & improving food safety.
The Solution
IoT-Integrated Monitoring : The smart fridge uses IoT sensors to track temperature, humidity, & gas levels, providing real-time data on storage conditions.
Spoilage Detection : The fridge is AI-powered, utilizing machine learning to identify spoiled food automatically.
Remote Control via App : Users can monitor & control the fridge’s environment remotely, adjusting temperature through a mobile app for better food preservation.
Sustainable Solar Power: The system is integrated with solar power charging, reducing reliance on the electrical grid.
Novelty
Spoilage Detection : Our system integrates Deep Learning and gas emission monitoring to detect food spoilage in real-time.
Custom App Design : We developed an intuitive app for real-time data visualization, ensuring efficient monitoring.
Remote Temperature Control : The app includes a remote temperature control feature, allowing users to adjust cooling settings in real-time.
Material Used :
Biodegradable Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is an advanced material that is much more environmentally friendly than alternatives such as PVC, TPU is durable, recyclable and biodegradable in 3 – 5 years.
Total Cost : -
Rs. 4500 (Without spoilage Detection)
Rs. 7500 (With the Spoilage Detection)

User Interface(App)
The UI displays three key types of data through labelled sections:
Temperature : Indicates the current temperature inside the storage unit.
Humidity : this section shows the humidity level inside the storage unit.
Ethylene/Methane Concentration : displays the Ethylene & methane levels emitted by stored products.
The second page includes temperature control, where arrow buttons adjust the temperature. If it drops below 20°C, both cooling units activate, entering super cool mode.
Results :
Uploading of data in Firebase
Updating data after turning on the fridge for some time
