An Empirical Study on
Jaggary Manufacturing Process Optimization Using IOT
LEVEL : UG
Abstract
Jaggery, a traditional non-centrifugal
sweetener derived from sugarcane juice, plays a pivotal
role in various cuisines worldwide. To enhance the
efficiency, quality, and sustainability of jaggery production,
we have embarked on a comprehensive project
employing Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This study
presents a novel approach that combines IoT sensor
networks, real-time data analytics, and process control in
the context of jaggery manufacturing.
Our project focuses on the
implementation of IoT sensors throughout the jaggery
production process, capturing critical variables such as
temperature ,flow of Stream and RPM of Motors. Real-
time data logging and analytics are applied to monitor and
optimize the key stages of the process, including
sugarcane juice flow control and Stirring.
By harnessing IoT technology, we aim to achieve the
following objectives:
• Real-time monitoring and control of the jaggery
production process.
• Improved quality control by measuring various
parameters in process of manufacturing.
• Enhanced energy efficiency, reducing time of
production.
• Remote access and control for timely interventions
Introduction
Jaggery, a traditional and unrefined
sweetener derived from the juice of sugarcane, has been
cherished for centuries in various culinary traditions
across the world. However, in the face of growing
demand, fluctuating environmental conditions, and
evolving quality standards, the jaggery manufacturing
process faces the imperative to evolve. As we stand at the
crossroads of tradition and innovation, this scientific
poster delves into a pioneering project that seeks to
harmonize age-old artisanal practices with modern
technology.
The main aim is to develop a system for
Optimization of Jaggery Production using IOT real-time
monitoring of various parameters in process at remote
places using Microcontroller based system. This system
will measure various process parameters like
temperature, flow of stream etc. helps to control speed of
AC motors in traditional mechanism. To improve quality of
jaggery, we develop a system which automate a task of
driving various motors in process of manufacturing.
Materials And Methodology
Phase 01: Data Logging of Whole System
✓ Requirements-
NodeMCU ESP8266, Thermocouple, Tachometer,
Flow sensor, Google Sheets.
✓ Working –
To enable data logging from a NodeMCU
to Google Sheets, start by creating a Google Sheet with
appropriately labeled columns for the data you plan to
collect. Next, set up the Google Sheets API via the Google
Cloud Console, and create a service account to facilitate
communication between your NodeMCU and Google
Sheets. Share your Google Sheet with the service account
email, granting edit or write access. Install essential
libraries, including the Adafruit Thermocouple Sensor
Library, Arduino Json, ESP8266WiFi, and the Google Sheets
API library for Arduino in your NodeMCU environment.
Then, develop an Arduino sketch for your NodeMCU to
collect data from your sensors, construct a data payload,
and send it to Google Sheets. This sketch should also
handle Wi-Fi connection. Set up a Google Apps Script to
receive and log the incoming data in your Google Sheet,
and deploy the script as a web app to obtain a URL that
your NodeMCU will use to send data. Ensure that you
properly test and monitor the entire system, taking into
account error handling, data formatting, and security
considerations to protect your data throughout the
process.
Phase 01: Data Logging of Whole System
✓ Requirements-
Raspberry Pi 3B, Triac Driver Module, Power Supply.
✓ Working –
This system is developed based on Raspberry pi 3B
microcontroller which controls the motors in process according
to various parameters like temperature, flow and RPM of
motors.
This system helps to interlock feedbacks in process.

Conclusion
This project represents a great fusion of
tradition and innovation, illustrating the potential of IoT
technology to invigorate and elevate age-old production
processes. Through the meticulous integration of sensor
networks, real-time data analytics, and control systems,
our endeavor has demonstrated remarkable outcomes
for jaggery manufacturing. We have successfully
introduced precision, consistency, and sustainability to a
craft that has endured for generations.
The optimization of jaggery production
through IoT embodies the essence of progress without
sacrificing the roots of heritage. By implementing remote
monitoring, real-time adjustments, and data-driven
insights, we have not only improved product quality and
energy efficiency but have also aligned our practices with
eco-conscious principles. The implications extend beyond
jaggery, extending to the broader realm of traditional
food processing.
As we embark on this remarkable journey,
it is our hope that this project inspires a new era of
thought for similar industries. The bridge between
tradition and progress is not a gap to be crossed but
rather a synergy to be celebrated. In a world where
technology advances at a rapid pace, this project stands
as a testament to the enduring wisdom of tradition, now
fortified by the power of innovation.
As we take our final step in this
presentation, we invite you to join us in the vision of an
inclusive future where traditional practices and modern
technology harmonize for a more sustainable and vibrant
world. We are excited to be a part of this transformation,
where the past and future converge to create something
truly extraordinary.
