Facility agriculture area in China is expanding, and is leading the world. However, its ecosystem control technology and system is still immature, with low level of intelligence. Promoting application of modern information technology in agriculture will solve a series of problems facing by farmers. Lack of exact information and communication leadsto the loss in production. Our paper is designed to over come these problems. This regulator provides an intelligent monitoring platform framework and system structure for facility agriculture ecosystem based on IOT[3]. This will be a catalyst for the transition from traditional farming to modern farming. This also provides opportunity for creating new technology and service development in IOT (internet of things) farming application. The Internet Of Things makes everything connected. Over 50 years since independence, India has made immense progress towards food productivity. The Indian population has tripled, but food grain production more than quadrupled[1]: there has thus been a substantial increase in available food grain per ca-pita. Modern agriculture practices have a great promise for the economic development of a nation. So we have brought-in an innovative project for the welfare of farmers and also for the farms. There are no day or night restrictions. This is helpful at any time.","PeriodicalId":281784,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Technological Innovation in ICT for Agriculture and Rural Development (TIAR)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125400754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The waste water is treated so that it does not affect the environment because waste water consist of many toxic substance in it. Here the whole plant is monitored and controlled with the help of distributed control system. There are different units in this process such rapid mixing tank, coagulation process, flocculation process and then the floatation unit. Here we are going to simulate the effluent treatment plant with help of distributed control system software. The petroleum refinery uses large amount of water, at a same time more wastewater is produced so the effluent from various units are collected and then they are treated. the collected effluent is passed to a rapid mixing tank where the coagulation process is carried over and then to the floculation unit and here it is important to maintain the pH and then to the floatation unit i.e. dissolved air floatation unit where oil and water is separated and then lastly treated effluent is obtained and the quality of it should meet the regulation values. In this process various interlocks are written in a DCS software such that process runs continuously. Then graphical display of whole plant is designed.","PeriodicalId":281784,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Technological Innovation in ICT for Agriculture and Rural Development (TIAR)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114536416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also provides manual control when required and keeps tabs on the humidity with the help of humidity sensors. The main component here is the AVR At mega microcontroller that supervises the entire process. Initially the robot tills the entire field and proceeds to ploughing, simultaneously dispensing seeds side by side. The device used for navigation is an ultrasonic sensor which continuously sends data to the microcontroller. On the field the robot operates on automated mode, but outside the field is strictly operated in manual mode. For manual control the robot uses the Bluetooth pairing app as control device and helps in the navigation of the robot outside the field. The field is fitted with humidity sensors placed at various spots that continuously monitor the environment for humidity levels. It checks these levels with the set point for humidity and alerts the farmer. The alerting mechanism is GSM module that sends a text message to the farmer informing him about the breach in set point. The farmer then responds via SMS to either switch on the water sprinklers or ignore the alert. The water sprinklers, if on, bring down the humidity level thus providing an ideal growing environment to crop. The concept of fruit picking and pesticide spraying is described under the process domain. Farmers today spend a lot of money on machines that help them decrease labor and increase yield of crops but the profit and efficiency are very less. Hence automation is the ideal solution to overcome all the shortcomings by creating machines that perform one operations and automating it to increase yield on a large scale.","PeriodicalId":281784,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Technological Innovation in ICT for Agriculture and Rural Development (TIAR)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127152744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Nitration process are usually carried out as batch process in aqueous phase as they are very sensitive and liable to explode. A very close control of heat and mass transfer is necessary as it leads to selectivity of reaction under safe condition. This prevents the thermal loss of control of the system, so that the reaction temperature rise can be limited below a critical value. The Present work carries out the Identification and Estimation of model states of a runaway reaction. The temperature data are collected from exothermic reactor and the optimal model is identified using NARX method. The Kalman, Extended Kalman and Unscented Kalman filter dynamics are studied and implementation and design of the optimal filters are carried out. The filter algorithms are used to estimate the concentration and temperature in the presence of random noise in measurement. The nonlinear estimators are compared for selection of best estimator. The results are found motivating for development of control.","PeriodicalId":281784,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Technological Innovation in ICT for Agriculture and Rural Development (TIAR)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116581673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, all the processing industries have created the need for cost effective and non-destructive quality control analysis systems to improve their products significantly. Among varies process industries, the agro-food processing industries encompasses all steps from the grower to the customer, involves substantially different types of process, which require monitoring for safety, conformance to specification and profit optimization. The agro-food processing industries cover a wide range of activities utilizing agriculture farm, animal and forestry based products as a raw materials. There are certain traditional quality inspection systems in agro based industries such as agricultural green houses, product stock waste, animal feed, farm machinery, fertilizer, flower bulbs, seeds & seedlings, fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts & kernels, oil seeds and plant & animal oil etc. to assess the quality of their food products by employing machine vision technology to identify the external defects of the products and X-Ray based imaging to identify internal defects of the products, but the NIR spectroscopy technique can also be applied for the above said industries, because it is particularly powerful in non-invasive, non-destructive, speed in analysis, flexibility in adapting to different sample states. However, this NIR spectroscopy requires a unique way to extract relevant physical and chemical information from the sample's spectral data and this can be performed by only a new statistical approach namely Chemometric algorithms. In this review, the principles and advantages of NIR spectroscopy are described first and then its application to various organic products in agro-food processing industries.","PeriodicalId":281784,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Technological Innovation in ICT for Agriculture and Rural Development (TIAR)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117270612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models can be deployed more effectively on using satellite images. Due to the launch of many modern satellites the availability of satellite images are high but still the exploitation of these resources are very scarce. It is due to the lack of knowledge over varied properties and the availability of different sources of satellite images. Though the moderate resolution satellite images are freely available, the rate of exploitation of these resources is still very less. Hence, this paper focuses on detailing the diverse characteristics and availability of satellite images which could be a great help for beginners in remote sensing research.
