Project Title:

Automated Recipe Selection Through Ambient Temperature Monitoring

Project Collaborators:

Safescape

Facilitated through our funding partner METS Ignited, this project entailed the creation of various temperature monitoring devices, able to communicate wirelessly for analysis.

These would be stand-alone devices which would be able to communicate wirelessly to a central device. Communication will be enabled through the low power LoRa protocol, and the central device would be responsible for data analysis and potentially even factory automation in the future.

Approach

The summer intern designed and tested various temperature monitoring devices. The intern built custom nodes to measure temperature readings and used the LoRa protocol to transmit the readings to a central device. The central device used an Arduino to manage communication between nodes and the data would be sent to a Raspberry Pi, which runs a powerful data analysis software called Node Red.

Outcome

01

3 different node designs were created, tested and presented to the client. The next step would potentially lead to installation of the nodes on site for data.


Outcome

02

The system is independent of all other systems and can be scaled to over 500 sensors.


Outcome

03

Data can be analysed through the Node Red software, which can be further developed in the future.
