SD Memory Card Corruption

As I nosed around my fellow colleagues projects and exchanged kind words, some of my colleagues suggested some possible reasons to why our SD memory card may corrupt including not shutting down the Raspberry Pi in a controlled manner, removal of the SD memory card at the end of the day for safe storage or even problems with the Raspberry Pi itself. Followed by these kind suggestions, we switched to using our own Raspberry Pi's which me and my project partner personally own, we then research Python safe shutdown commands which we will now use for normal shutdown or reboot. We will now also not remove the SD memory card from the Raspberry Pi at the end of the day, until the end of this project.

Safe shutdown command:
sudo shutdown -h now

Safe reboot command:
sudo shutdown -r now
