Abstract: Milk is a common and important part of our daily diet, but it can spoil quickly if it contains harmful bacteria or impurities. Traditional methods for testing milk quality are time-consuming, require laboratory facilities, and depend on trained personnel. This project presents a smart and user-friendly solution called DairyGuard, which uses Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assess milk quality rapidly and efficiently. The system employs a small device equipped with a red LED and a photodiode to analyze how milk reacts to light, specifically measuring its optical properties such as absorbance, reflectance, and fluorescence. These properties provide key insights into the milk’s freshness, spoilage, or adulteration status. The data collected is processed by a microcontroller and sent to a machine learning model trained to recognize patterns linked to different milk quality levels. The results are displayed instantly on a mobile application or computer interface, enabling farmers and vendors to take immediate action. By combining affordable hardware with intelligent analysis, DairyGuard makes milk testing faster, more accessible, and more reliable. It promotes food safety and empowers individuals across the dairy supply chain to make informed decisions. The system is easy to operate, requiring minimal technical knowledge. Its compact and portable design allows for convenient on-site testing, even in remote locations. Additionally, the results are generated instantly, eliminating the need for long waiting times typically associated with conventional testing methods. Moreover, DairyGuard offers a cost-effective solution compared to traditional laboratory testing, making it accessible for smaller-scale operations and individuals. The system is non-invasive, requiring no direct contact with the milk, preserving its quality and preventing contamination. Ultimately, DairyGuard contributes to safer and more sustainable dairy practices, particularly in rural and small- scale operations where such innovation can have a significant impact.
