A Review Paper on: IoT Based Smart Agriculture

Abstract

This paper delves into the intricacies of
designing and developing an Internet of
Things (IoT)-based solar-powered system
tailored to streamline irrigation tasks,
facilitate vigilant water supply monitoring,
and enable remote farm supervision with a
reliable backup power source. Our system is
productively grouped around an Arduino
microcontroller, capitalizing on solar energy
harnessing during periods of inactivity.
During the irrigation process, the system
autonomously traverses predetermined paths
across the farm terrain, meticulously gauging
soil moisture levels and temperature at
regular intervals. The data accrued from an
array of sensors at each juncture undergoes
localized processing to gauge the necessity of
irrigation, allowing for precise and efficient
watering.
Given the recurrent power shortages
experienced in Indian villages, our system
seamlessly switches to a solar-powered energy
supply in the event of grid disconnects,
ensuring the uninterrupted operation of vital
components. This inherent adaptability is a
testament to the robust nature of our IoT
device. It transmits the multifaceted sensor
data to a remote server via a Wi-Fi link.
At the remote server, the raw data is
subjected to a series of signal processing
operations such as filtering, compression and
predictive analysis. After that, carefully
analyzed statistical information is presented
through an interactive user interface that
serves the specific requests of the user.
