Paddy seed drying is a critical process to ensure seed viability, storage longevity, and germination efficiency. Traditional drying methods, such as sun drying, are often inconsistent and time-consuming. This project presents an automated paddy seed dehumidification system that utilizes Arduino UNO, DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, relay-controlled heater, LCD display, and a DC motor-driven aluminum foil mechanism for efficient drying. The system operates by continuously monitoring the temperature and humidity levels inside the drying chamber using the DHT11 sensor. The Arduino UNO processes this data and controls a relay module to activate or deactivate the heater based on predefined threshold values. A DC motor rotates aluminum foil, which serves as a heat distributor, ensuring uniform heat application to the paddy seeds. This rotating mechanism prevents overheating and promotes even drying. The system remains operational until the target humidity level is achieved, after which the heater is automatically turned off to prevent excessive drying. The LCD display provides real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity, allowing users to track the drying process. This automated and energy-efficient approach significantly improves drying efficiency, reduces labor requirements, and ensures optimal moisture content for seed storage and germination.
