Abstract:
Agriculture is one of the least automated sector in India. Implementing automation in this sector is the need of the day. Storage house for food grain has wide scope for automation as most of the activities involved in it is done manually. One of the most important task post harvesting is storage of food grains. Being an agricultural based economy and world’s second most populated country proper storage of food grains in India is a major challenge. Food grains such as rice and wheat require dry atmosphere and hence they are stored in a proper aerated rooms. However, this leads to their degradation via various factors such as attack of rodents, insects, birds etc. This paper discusses about an automated storage house with automatic aeration system and rodents proof structure assuring safe storage of food grain with minimum human intervention.
