Agri-IoT: A Farm Monitoring and Automation System using Internet of Things

Abstract

In order to improve efficiency and maximize crop yield in developing countries like India, there is a need to modernize and upgrade agricultural tools and techniques. One solution is the implementation of an automated, intelligent Agri -IoT system that utilizes solar power and monitors water usage based on soil moisture, temperature, and humidity levels. This system aims to optimize the use of natural resources such as water and solar energy, while also preventing the overuse of resources like electricity and water. The system can be controlled both automatically and via Bluetooth, and is designed to stop every 10 seconds in the field to allow for sensor readings. The robot module is powered by a battery that is recharged by a solar panel when not in use. The sensor module is the central point for the Agri-IoT system, collecting and updating data in the cloud. If parameters in the field fall below a certain threshold, the pump operation module will activate to maintain optimal conditions.
