Abstract - Onion spoilage during storage is a major issue
it from damages occurring due to atmospheric or climatic changes. But in our project work, only monitoring operation is shown through GSM technology. The monitoring system capable of measuring methane gas and other parameters variability during transport and storage is of prime importance. This system makes use of storage units implanted with various electronic sensors which can read those parameters affecting onions storage. Design of Control circuits so as to tackle the problem of undesirable condition of onions storage is the important part of this idea. First of all, There is a greater need than ever for creative ways to maximize crop productivity and quality in the quickly changing agricultural world of today. Keeping an eye on the environment and protecting crops from any hazards are two of the many problems that farmers must overcome.
due to improper environmental conditions such as high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and gas emissions from decaying onions. This leads to significant financial losses for farmers and supply chain operators. To address this, we propose an Onion Health Monitoring and Alert System that uses IoT-based sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and gas levels in real time. The system will provide automated alerts via alarms and mobile notifications to ensure timely intervention. methodology involves integrating gas sensors (MQ6), temperature and humidity sensors (DHT11/DHT22), and a Controller (Arduino Nano and ESP8266). Also GSM to alert the user. This will helps to detect spoilage trends and optimize storage conditions. Expected outcomes of project include reduced post-harvest losses, improved onion quality, and enhanced profitability for stakeholders. This solution offers a cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable approach to smart agriculture, contributing to food security and environmental sustainability.
Acknowledging the importance of tackling these issues, our group presents a cutting - edge remedy: the Onion Monitoring System. Modern technology, such as the Arduino microcontroller, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) module, and MQ06 sensor, is integrated into the core of our system. These elements have been combined to create a thorough monitoring system that is especially suited to the particular requirements of onion farming. Giving farmers real - time insights into important environmental indicators is the main goal of the Onion Monitoring System. The device is built on Arduino NANO which is a popular prototyping board. The Arduino board is interfaced with various sensors like MQ6 to detect methane gas content. The GSM Wi- Fi Modem is interfaced with the Arduino to connect it to the internet via Wi - Fi router. The sensor data is also displayed on a mobile phone interfaced with the Arduino NANO. MQ06 sensor helps in intimating the user even about the percentage of freshness of the onions. The device detects these gases in ppm using MQ6 and compares it with the resistance of the air and makes a consolidated result of the percentage of freshness of the onions.

1.INTRODUCTION Onions are one of the most widely cultivated and consumed vegetables globally, valued for their culinary versatility and nutritional benefits. However, they are highly susceptible to spoilage during storage due to improper environmental conditions, leading to significant post-harvest losses. As demand for high-quality produce continues to rise, effective storage solutions become essential for maintaining the health and quality of onions throughout their shelf life. The Onion Health Monitoring and Alerting System(OHMAS) addresses these challenges by integrating advanced technology to monitor and manage storage conditions. Utilizing a network of sensors, the system tracks key environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and air circulation, which are crucial for preserving the quality of onions. By employing real-time data analytics, the OHMAS can detect deviations from optimal conditions, allowing for timely interventions that prevent spoilage.
