Tanzania is among the East African Countries with rapid economic development, and it is a low middle-income country. The development of industries is among the factors that contribute to the economic growth of the country. Tanzania has been developing beverages industries; however, these industries are facing a number of challenges including poor monitoring of tanks during liquid pumping from boiler tank to dilution process. This problem resulted in spilling fluids, tampered wine tests, and industrial accidents. The purpose of this project wasto develop a system that can be able to monitor juice level within the tanks and regulate the pump using voice commands through Alexa echo dot. The pump in this system was controlled by voice commands, and an ultrasonic sensor was used to sense the juice level in the tank and send data to a microcontroller, which processed the data and displayed the juice level on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Once the juice level reached a threshold level, the pump was automatically turned off. The developed system successfully stopped overflows, accidents, and changes in juice flavor during the dilution process, according to major findings from testing and validation of the developed system. Existing way, however, are manual methodology, on the other hand, are not interactive and are costly. The developed system also caters to the physically impaired person, allowing them to engage in tank monitoring without difficulties. The system was created for Raha Beverage Company Limited located in Arusha, Tanzania.
