Medical warehouse monitoring and control system using LabVIEW

Abstract

This project is about building a monitoring and control system for medical warehouse to ensure the medicine in warehouse is maintained within acceptable temperature and humidity limits. A virtual instrument (VI) has been designed to provide graphical user interface (GUI) for monitoring and controlling the environment condition with a real time access. The functionality of the system was successfully developed using LabVIEW software. Data display and data logger using LabVIEW was performed well from sensor measurement. Arduino was used as the brain to control the input and output devices. Besides that, Raspberry Pi was used to provide a wireless bridge to Arduino which running in LabVIEW LINX program. The performance of the system was tested and met the specified requirements. This system is able to alert the user when the temperature and/or humidity is out of the specified range by giving a warning through LED display, e-mail and short message notification.
