Abstract: The preservation of fruits and vegetables requires precise environmental control to prevent premature degradation caused by temperature and humidity variations. This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent environmental monitoring system using virtual instrumentation techniques. The system integrates temperature and relative humidity sensors, a data acquisition interface, and a LabVIEW-based software platform to provide continuous environmental supervision. The software architecture consists of a Front Panel for real-time visualization and operator interaction, and a Block Diagram implementing acquisition, signal processing, logical evaluation, and decision-support functionality. The system continuously compares environmental parameters against predefined thresholds and provides visual warnings and corrective recommendations when deviations occur. Experimental evaluation confirms reliable performance, accurate monitoring, and effective user interaction. The proposed system provides a scalable and efficient engineering solution for fruit and vegetable storage monitoring and preservation.
