Introduction
• Internet of things is a new prototype that connects billions of sensors to the
Internet for smart applications and services.
• IoT allows user to use wireless technology and helps the user to transfer the data
to cloud.
• The Livestock sector produces 42 million liters milk per annum.
• The challenge is to monitor the quality of milk collected including the
percentage of solid-like fats and protein.
• IoT has great potential to help dairy farms and the milk industry like real time
monitoring of farms.

Problem Statement
• The collection and testing of milk after mixing result in incorrect milk profiling.
• The cow feed and its effect on the quality of milk are not monitored properly.
• Difficulties in producing premium quality products as high- and low-quality
milk is mixed to make transport easier.
• Inefficient use of resources.

Proposed Solution
• Design a smart milk monitoring system.
• Collecting Cow feed and Milk quality data.
• Measure fats and proteins for best possible use of milk.
• Design an Automated Farm and give suitable environment to cows.
• Upload Data to the cloud.

Literature Review
• There are rapid quality analyzers like ultrasonic sensing but are likely to be
useful for milk quality testing in laboratories.
• The Dairy Farms are running manually, and cheap labor is used for necessary
operations that decreases the efficiency.
• Some Farms are partially automated, but milk is still tested in laboratories.
• Traditionally, the milk is mixed with ethanol in a small test tube and if the milk
is of good quality, then there will be no coagulation, clotting, or precipitation,
but it is necessary to look for small lumps.
• The electrical impedance sensors are also used with milk samples that were
adulterated with different compounds.

Cont.
• G. Rajakumar, T. A. Kumar, T. A. Samuel, and E. M. Kumaran uses the gas and
salinity sensor to detect the gases released due to the early microbial activity
and to detect the salinity of the milk.
• Kawamura, S., Kawasaki, M., Nakatsuji, H. et al. used NIR to assess milk
quality parameters like percentage protein and fats.
• A. Gowri, A. S. Rajamani, B. Ramakrishna, and V. Sai uses Optical fiber probe-
based fat sensor which are in development phase to achieve the low-cost real-
time milk testing.
• Existing method are restricted to quality testing in laboratories and are
expensive.

Project Objectives
The main objectives of our project are:
• To measure the fat and protein in milk samples.
• To control the temperature and electrical appliances remotely.
• To automatically monitor the available feed stock.
• To perform the analysis of effect of feed on the milk quality.
• To develop a web/mobile app to monitor the dairy farm parameters.

Project Deliverables
• Real Time Milk Profiling for efficient use.
• IoT Based Environment Monitoring of Dairy Farm.
• Cow Feed Monitoring to watch its impact on milk quality.
• Inventory to keep stock updated.
