Fuzzy Rule Based Environment Monitoring System for Weather Controlled Laboratories Using Arduino

Abstract

Weather controlled laboratories such as blood banks, plasma centers, biomedical, research, pharmacy and healthcare always require a portable, low cost and web-based centralized wireless monitoring system. However, it has become more stringent to monitor various weather controlling devices of these laboratories in order to reduce the risk of non-compliance with accreditation requirements. In literature, it is inferred that the majority of existing event detection approaches relies only on precise value to specify event thresholds, but those values cannot adequately handle the imprecise sensor reading. Therefore, in this work, one of the soft computing technologies, fuzzy logic is adopted to demonstrate that fuzzy rule based value significantly improves the accuracy of event detection. The prototype built is tested in a physical laboratory as a personal mobile weather station for monitoring and analyzing the environmental conditions using fuzzy simulated values.
