SIT Student's Smart IoT System Protects FCI Grain from Spoilage & Fire

• An SIT student developed a Smart IoT-Based Grain Storage Environmental Monitoring & Alert System for FCI warehouses.
• The system, costing ₹1800-₹2500, offers 24x7 monitoring to prevent grain spoilage from moisture, temperature, gases, smoke, and mold.
• It utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller and sensors (DHT22, MQ-135, MQ-2, Flame Sensor) to detect environmental hazards.
• Alerts are sent via a buzzer, red LED, and real-time mobile/web app notifications for threats like high temperature, humidity, gas leaks, smoke, or fire.
• This low-cost, high-tech monitoring system is a significant agricultural innovation, reducing human dependency and preventing potential accidents in grain storage.

Why It Matters: Affordable tech prevents grain spoilage and fires, enhancing food security.
