Integrated agriculture IoT based farm monitoring and management systems

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a cutting-edge phenomenon in the digital realm, wherein objects connect, and processes are autonomous and managed via the internet. In this research, an architecture for integrating the IoT with crop production is designed, and various measurements and techniques for crop monitoring utilising cloud computing have been employed. The method enables real-time evaluation of data gathered from sensors put in crops that delivers a response for the farmer as required for crop production monitoring and saves the farmer's time as well as energy. The data acquired in the fields are saved in the cloud and analysed to allow for automation using IoT devices. The experimental results show the specifics of soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and water use in the field through a monitoring system, as well as managing with the farmer's input.
