        abstract = {Onion’s spoilage occurs in cold storage systems, which could be due to poor control over temperature, humidity, and harmful gases formed by decomposition. This causes huge losses to onion cultivators and suppliers. For tackling this problem, an IoT based Onions Spoilage Detection System has been designed, using MQ135 gas sensor, DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, RFID and LCD display.
The system constantly measures environmental factors and gas content within the storage space. In case there is any indication of spoilage, the system will indicate any irregularities in gas emission and will warn the user at once. The role of RFID is to facilitate batch monitoring within the storage, while the LCD will display the relevant data.},
