Download Project Document/Synopsis

During monsoon, sellers with an open shop, neighbours drying clothes outside and many similar situations cause inconveniences in our life. In case of street vegetable sellers, they need to protect the vegetables, fruits and customers from rains in monsoon season. Even the tarpaulins don’t prove to be of any use during torrential rains accompanied by a thunderstorm. To overcome such problems and help us live with the inconvenience raining system. this auto rain-sensing umbrella smart system comes up with a solution. This smart rain sensing system can detect the rain and opens up the umbrella. In this smart system, we have a raindrop sensing system, which gives a reading proportional to the amount of rain pouring on it. The smart system consisting of a rack and pinion system, the rack is fixed to umbrella such that when a sensor senses the exceeding value of raindrops, it gives a signal to the pinion attached to a motor. Then the motor starts rotating and the umbrella opens.
