Onion is one of the most important crop on India for internal consumption as well as export. India is 2nd Largest producer of Onion Globally. The requirement of onion is almost constant throughout the year and availability of fresh onion is limited to 7 or 8 months and there is lean period when prices shoot up because of poor storage conditions available in the country. Onion require a temperature of 25 degree Celsius (plus minus 2 degrees) and a Rh of 60-70% for longer shelf life. If the temperature varies sprouting starts and small & marginal farmer start losing its value and don’t get Right price of the product
The ideal situation to store Onion is a well-ventilated place and temperature should be between 23-27 degree centigrade and humidity should be 60-70 %. Traditionally onion is stored in heap placed over iron net. Aeration is arranged through fans and heating is arranged through room heaters. In most of the region in India there is a huge difference in day and night temperature because and it is very difficult to maintain optimum temperature manually. An IOT based system with Heat Ex-changer which can maintain a constant temperature and humidity can increase shelf life of Onion. There may be higher prices technological products available but with Make in India motto of our honorable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, we want to in-home country developed solution and better understand problem makes us the niche player to achieve scalability in a shorter span of time.
Heat Ex-changer: A heat ex-changer is an advance system work on the principal of transfer of heat. Heat ex-changers are used in both cooling and heating processes. Same system will be responsible for heating & Cooling of Onion Storage.
Insulated Storage Box: An insulated system will stop heat loss to environment thus will do more effective heating & Cooling, Saving energy will make it cost effective.
FRP Grating Storage Boxes: Small container type Boxes of FRP grating will be well aerated thus maintaining uniform temperature through out storage chamber.
Mobility: Storage unit is made up of per-engineered building make it possible to carry it to other location or open it when not in use.
Automated Monitoring: Mobile app for alerts for any temperature deviation and issues.
Theft protection: Higher models will be implanted with camera feature for theft monitoring / sensor.
Multi-purpose: Same chamber can be used for perishable fruits and vegetables.
Farmers can have options to pre-booking discounts and free installations during product demonstration in their district
