Enhancing the Production Control Efficiency of Sun-Dried Pork using the Internet of Things
Keywords:
Internet of Things, node MCU, production control of sun-dried porkAbstract
This research study explores the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) system for controlling the production of sun-dried pork in the community-based sun-dried pork business of Pracharath Village, Ban Kluai Phae, Lampang Province. The primary objective is to enhance the quality and efficiency of the sun-dried pork production process. The operation of the drying chamber utilizes MCU nodes to transmit data, with temperature sensors and relays installed to control the cooling fan inside the drying chamber. The system operates via the TCP/IP protocol, storing data in a cloud database, and enables real-time monitoring through a mobile application. The findings of this study indicate that the IoT-based system successfully monitors and regulates the drying process by accurately measuring temperature fluctuations. The recorded temperature inside the drying chamber under direct sunlight is approximately 50°C, and the IoT-integrated drying system effectively reduces the average drying time by 85 minutes. This optimization contributes to a more efficient drying process, reduced drying time, and an overall increase in production capacity, benefiting the local sun-dried pork business.
