Case Studies on Distribution Environmental Monitoring and Quality Measurement of Exporting Agricultural Products

In this paper, we present monitoring the distribution environmental factors for exporting agricultural products in real time based on sensor networks and packaging technologies, and how the distribution environmental factors would influence the quality of agricultural products has been studied by measuring the actual quality of agricultural products when this distribution process has been completed. For this, sensor nodes and communication system, optimized to a monitoring process for the distribution environmental factors of agricultural products, have been designed and implemented. With the paprika exported to overseas, information on temperature/humidity/path (distribution environmental factors) has been monitored in real time. The possibility of utilization of sensor networks based distribution environmental factors monitoring technology could be verified through such case studies.
