Design of Temperature and Humidity Control on Arabica Coffee Storage

Abstract

Storage of coffee beans is essential to maintain the quality of coffee in terms of water content and humidity. So we need a storage room with a stable temperature and humidity. In this research, we will design a post-harvest coffee bean storage system, by maintaining the condition of the room at a temperature of 19°-27°C with humidity of 60% -70%. The design uses block diagrams and wiring diagrams, then makes a coffee bean storage box by using a fan as an actuator, and a DHT 11 sensor to measure the temperature and humidity of the room. The results of this study are the Arduino -Uno based Arabica coffee bean storage box takes 7 hours to get the expected set-point. the storage room has a temperature of 19°-27°C and humidity 60-70%
