Description
Summary:Aim: The current research explores the potential of machine learning predictive models in optimizing the storage conditions of tomatoes. This is achieved through Internet of Things (IoT) technology, sensors, cameras, and microprocessors integrated into refrigerators along the supply chain. Methodology: Controlling temperature and humidity inside the refrigerated container was accomplished by implementing the Arduino microcontroller and supplementary hardware components, including the ESP32 module relay, an advancement over the ESP8266 microcontroller. The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) was used as software platform for this experimentation. Various parameters, including humidity, oxygen, carbon-di-oxide, and shelf life, were recorded at different temperatures and on different days. Subsequently, the collected data was analyzed employing machine-learning models to determine the most effective prediction model for these variables. Results: From the results it has been revealed that apolynomial of degree 4 is the best-fit regressor model for the data on humidity. Polynomials of degrees 2, 2, and 3 are the best models for the target variables oxygen, carbon-di-oxide, and shelf life. Interpretation: During analysis, This result suggests that different polynomial degrees are optimal for modeling different variables in the dataset. Polynomials of degrees 2, 2, and 3 are the best ML models for the target variables oxygen, carbon-di-oxide, and shelf life, respectively,to enhance the effectiveness of our predictive models. Key words: Io T sensors, ML models, Quantile loss, Supply chain, Tomato
