Abstract-KMF marketing the products in the
name of Nandini. KMF is a Federation of milk
produces association working on co-operative
principle. In Karnataka each and every district
has milk producing co-operatives. The collected
milk by the former are processed and sold and
marketed with its brand name Nandini. Nandini
is the second largest milk co-operative in India,

i. INTRODUCTION
where AMUL stands in a first place. The difficult
in monitoring of the containers and tracking, if
the bulk production Our propose system keep
track of milk containers which is connected with
the tracking sensor. The heart of the system is
microcontroller which is connected with sensors
and tracking Id’s .These data are displayed on IoT
system using Blynk app.

It has 2 methods of measuring milk level

generally they are direct and indirect
measurements. [1] Where direct level
measurement has bob, and tap and method, sight
glass method where indirect level measurement
has pressure gauge, purge system, differential
pressure meter, displacer type milk level
measurement since tanks are large in generally it
is difficult to maintain and also time-consuming
to monitor the tank milk levels. [2]. It has several
ways of executing level measuring processes like
mechanical, capacitive, inductive, ultrasonic,
acoustic and optical. Figure 1 Ultrasonic sensor is
used to milk level measuring ultrasonic waves is
used to measure the height and optimize the
control milk level in the tank .Figure 1 displaying
milk level measurement in a tank by using the
below equation height “H” can be calculated . [3]
. H = h - h 1 -------------------------------------------

ii. LITERATURE REVIEW
Milk Level Monitoring can be found in many
areas since before. Various types of Level
Monitoring system based on the control are:
1. Individual systems: This is a very popular
type of systems. Here the whole model is
implemented on a targeted single source system.
2. Large control systems: Here the water level is
implemented on a very large scale basis and huge
a mounts of sensors are used.
3. Central Control systems: The systems are
automated to operate multiple function. It is can
be operated from anywhere in the world by using
telephone or internet.
Based on the method of automation various
types are as follows:
 1. Bluetooth based Level Monitoring: Here
Bluetooth plays a major role in alerting the
anomalies.
2. Remote Level Monitoring: In this, the system
is controlled remotely.
3. Automatic Level Monitoring: The system is
programmed to automatically perform some
defined actions.
iii. SOFTWARE-SYSTEM
ATTRIBUTES
1. Reliability: It should omit the similar results
under consist conditions only then it set to have
high reliability.
2. Availability: The system should be ready to
start the mission at any point of the time to start
mission.
3. Security: Degree of resistance to any harm.
4. Portability: Using the same software in
different environments.
5. Maintainability: The system should be design
in such a way that it can be restored even after a
failure occurs.
6. Performance: To analyze if the system meets
its goals.
iv. RESEARCH WORK
[1] The benefits of monitoring milk level and
processing by using the wireless based type of
monitoring with the help of Aurdino.
[2] It also explains automate the homes by using
Aurdino. The Aurdino and Aurdino are the best
method of automation because the existing
Bluetooth method of automation limitations was
analyzed to prove. It also explains the
specifications of Hardware and Software.

the development of prototype for milk level
monitoring. A Microprocessors acts like a central
devices and connected to internet to control
sensors and receive orders. The users and devices
were managed by servers front-end app to
internet is android application.
[4] We can access any device anywhere in a user-
friendly with a clod platform by that connect
things around us. Applications use the devices
such as sensors need huge space to store huge
data with immense computation power for real-
time processing. This paper presents the
automation where the cloud uses SHA-1 and
Naive Bayes algorithm.
[5] The paper proposes the design and
implementation of wireless real time milk level
monitoring system concept by using Aurdino
UNO micro controller as a central controllers
v. METHODOLOGY
System Architecture
The system Architecture is subdivided into 3
layers are:
Physical Layer. This layer consist of
communication technologies and sensor nodes. In
this layer the information is collected and transfer
information to service layer.
Service Layer. It plays very important role in the
system architecture. The business logic and
application are implemented here. It were
collected information for future use. This layer
provides a different tools for information
analytics.
Presentation Layer. It is the top layer by this we
can image the data to the user and it permits the
user to interacts.
vi. WORKING PRINCIPLE
We use the Arduino board in this project that
microcontroller which controls all the sensors
attached to it. We use tracking sensors for
checking the milk level in the milk container. The
milk monitor calculates the milk level in the RF
ID sensor and sends the information to Arduino
like ultrasonic sensor data is send to Arduino
board and from to cloud for Arduino and from a user-friendly microcontroller, in which we
there to cloud for data processing into write c++ programs to control these pins and
Wifi(esp8266) modules. devices connected to pins.

A. ARDUINO UNO

The maze tracking robot has 3IR line tracking

It is open-source microcontroller board it is based
on the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller.
Arduino cc it is service with sets of digital and
analog input and output pins. It was 6 analog
inputs, a 16mhz ceramic resonator, this Arduino
has a USB connection, power jack, and a reset
button can be powered by an external 9 voltages,
between 7 to 20 volts. It is widely used and is also
sensors. The sensor follows lines, or light
reflected on the surface, in the figure 3 of are
those. I did not found any information regarding
the same in anywhere in the internet, their
operation and programming should be easy. The
sensor has detector and IR light emitter, and
sensor status which IR light reflected from the
surface on or off. The status of sensor show by
LED. The need to be calibrate the sensor to set
the threshold in dark and light.
D. RF ID SENSOR
The device are a radio frequency identification
reader used to gather the information from RF ID
tag, individual can be track using RF ID tag, data
to transfer data from one tag to a reader using
radio waves. RF ID technology is same in theory
to bar codes, the RF ID tag need not to be scan
directly, nor it require line-of-sight to a reader.
The RF ID tag should be in the range, the range
is from 3 to 300 feet to read. The RF ID
technology enables fast identification and quickly
scan if a particular product by allowing different
items. Because of RF ID cost and need to
individually identify every item in RF ID tags are
not replaced by bar codes.
E. ULTRASONIC SENSOR
The sonar is used to determine the distance to an
object like bats do by its HC-SR04. Ultrasonic
sensor, HC-SR04 offers non -contact range
detection with efficient reading in easy to use
package, from 2cm to 400cm. By sunlight or
black material like sharp range finders doesn’t
affects its operations the ultrasonic sensor
includes ultrasonic transmitter and receiver
modules.
vii. CONULUSION
In our project the data collected from all track
sensor is sent to cloud platform to storage from
there the data to blynk application which displays
the result to display unit and display unit well
display values in digital values. Finally, the RF
ID sensor will transmits the information to the
blynk application through the specified milk level
monitoring in blynk application we can know the
milk level container monitoring.
