IoT-Enabled Shipping Container with Environmental Monitoring and Location Tracking

Project Code :TEMBPG903

Objective

The main objective of this project is to monitor the environmental parameters using sensors and uploading to an IOT platform along with its GPS location.

Abstract

In this project, we are able to monitor the environmental parameters using sensors and uploading to an IOT platform along with its GPS location. For this we have used arduino uno to which the sensors like DHT11, LDR and vibration sensors were interfaced.

With the help of GPRS module, we are uploading the data to a third party server. And thus the person can view the details from anywhere.

Keywords: Environmental monitoring, GPS, GPRS, Arduino uno.

NOTE: Without the concern of our team, please don't submit to the college. This Abstract varies based on student requirements.
