Abstract

An IoT based portable vermicomposting bin is a modern solution for efficient and convenient composting. This innovative approach utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to connect the vermicomposting bin to a network and unable real time monitoring and control of various parameters, such as temperature, moisture and pH level with automated controls and real time monitoring, the IoT based vermicomposting bin can simplify the composting process and reduce waste, minimizing the environmental impact. The type of worm which is mostly used for vermicomposting is Red Wiggler (Eisenia Fetida). Overall, the IoT based vermicomposting bin is smart and efficient way to recycle organic waste and produce high- quality compost.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

 An IoT based vermicomposting bin is a modern and innovative way to monitor and control the vermicomposting process. One area where IoT technology is making a significant impact is in the field of agriculture and sustainability. One such application is the IoT based vermicomposting bin, which is designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the composting process. It is an environmentally friendly way to disposing of organic waste while also creating a valuable resource for agriculture. An IoT based vermicomposting bin is designed to automate the process of composting and make it more efficient. The bin equipped with sensors that monitor temperature, moisture and other environmental condition, data logging system which are critical for the growth and health of the worms. The sensors are connected to a central control system, which can adjust the condition within the bin as needed to optimize the composting process. This data can be used to analyse the composting process and identify area for improvement. The data can also be used to communicate the result of the composting process to stakeholders and other interested parties.

4)  Mobile Application

The dashboard will provide an overview of the current  status of the vermicomposting bin, including temperature, humidity and water requirement  to the bin. This can help us ensure that the condition is optimal for worms to thrive and break down the organic waste. This application can collect the data on the vermicomposting  process, which can be analyses to identify patterns and optimize the process for maximum   efficiency. The application can send notification to your screen when the bed temp is high that you need to switch on the exhaust fan to cool down the environmental condition inside the bin. This gives us through data on which we can analyses the process with right temp and pH for better vermicomposting. This application can make it easier to manage and monitor our vermicomposting system from anywhere using our mobile device. It can help us optimize the vermicomposting process and produce high- quality compost for plants.

5)  Cutting Paper

Addition of cutting paper to the vermicomposting process contributes to the bedding materials which should ideally make up about rest and bedding mechanisms, to make the breakdown process as fast as possible and ensure you end up with a good nutrient balance for your vermicompost.

Conclusion

IoT based portable vermicomposting bins offer several benefits for small scale vermicomposting operations. The use of IoT technology allows for remote monitoring and control of critical environment conditions, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the composting process. Overall, IoT based portable vermicomposting bins have the potential to revolutionize the way small- scale vermicomposting is done, making it more efficient, effective and accessible to a wide range of users. However, careful consideration and management of the potential threats and challenges is essential to ensure their safe and effective use. This prototype takes to the new era where people are able to connect with the bin via a mobile application.
