Abstract

This paper describes a remote monitoring system of temperature control for cold-storage of farm produce. In cold-storage, it is important that farm produces are stored as fresh. Unfortunately, when an operator goes out from the cold-storage, the temperature could be changed due to the various reasons, for an example, a valve of cooler is broken. The temperature change results in a serious problem of the quality of farm produce. To prevent the problem, the operator has to look to the current state of the temperature of the cold-storage, even he is in long away. Thus, the monitoring system to show the temperature is required to the operator who can move away. Therefore, this paper describes the remote monitoring system of the temperature. The proposed system is expected to help the operator's facilities, and the management of farm produce.
