Abstract

The continuous fermentation machine had a major role in the tea factory regarding the quality of the tea smash. In the existing method the monitoring and controlling is done manually. There are much possibilities to have a human error. The system is designed to assist and provide support in order to fulfill the needs of the industry through automated manure. In this project, it is intended to propose an arudino based control with IoT to maintain the humidity level using continuous fermentation machine which is essential for good quality of tea. IoT module is used for displaying the required data for the users through the web page. When the humidity level of the tea leaves is measured used humidity sensor, the microcontroller controls the sprayer by solenoid valve with respect the set value of humidity. The temperature across the fermentation bed is also monitored through the display. The system intended to maintain the humidity of the continuous fermentation machine in tea factory. As humidity increases, the hot air is blown and humidity level is reduced to 94% rH (which gives better quality). If the humidity goes low the desired value the water sprinkling is done automatically using the processor. This method is proposed in order to have the better quality of the tea product.
