Innovative Smart Food Grain Storage System Launched at Digital India FutureLABS Summit 2024

New Delhi:  During the “Digital India FutureLABS Summit 2024” at IIIT-Delhi, a groundbreaking Smart Food Grain Storage System (SAFEETY) was launched. The technology, developed by SAMEER under the MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology), features conveyorized loading and unloading of grain bags with RFID for traceability, online weight and moisture measurement, and Radio Frequency-based removal of moisture from grains. This innovative system has been transferred to M/s Paras Defense and Space Technology Ltd for manufacturing and supply.

The launch event witnessed the exchange of technology transfer documents in the presence of Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Electronics & Information Technology, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, and Jal Shakti; Smt. Sunita Verma, GC R&D in E⁢ Dr P. H.
