Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryAgriculture plays a vital role in the development of an agricultural country. In Pakistan, agricultural production is being affected by several factors which include lack of technology, pesticides and irrigation problems. This project helps to modernize the traditional agriculture methodologies. The Project aims at monitoring of the field environment by using sensors that will sense the field parameters, it has the capability to perform the duty of pesticide spraying.It will control and automate the irrigation of the fields.The goal of the project is to make a smart agriculture robot, using automation and IoT innovation. This project’s main objective is to create an autonomous robot that does tasks like pesticide spraying, weeding, and wild creature scaring. Secondly, we make a smart and automatic irrigation system that senses moisture in the soil and performs action accordingly. Third, make a PH controller for testing of soil PH. All these tasks will control and monitor by using the Wi-Fi module and the IoT interface.
Project ObjectivesIn Pakistan, different farmers utilize the traditional procedures for creating, which accomplishes low yielding of harvests. The nonattendance of advancement assets in the developing of Pakistan has passed on productivity issues. Different factors influence the reap yields, including the attack of insects—wild creatures and fowls when the collectively grows up. Each troublesome game plan is to give; it is essential to make a composed structure that will deal with all elements influencing the productivity in each stage, like; advancement and harvesting of yields. This undertaking in like manner proposes an important framework in checking the field information also as controlling the field tasks, which gives flexibility with the objective that the undertaking targets making agribusiness impressive enough by using IOT proceed and robotization. A GPS based far away controlled robot is to make to-do tasks like; pesticides are showering, weeding, surprising fowls, and animals to get them a long way from the collect. It will similarly control the water framework structure by recognizing moistness levels in the earth and therefore flood the yield according to reuirements. The Robot is connected with a distant end with the graphical UI Indicating the Robot’s current position and give information on sensor regards, water framework level, and various segments. The water structure is described as a system that spread water to centered region. On a key level, it is prepared for agribusiness purposes. The capability of the water structure relies on the system used. The human life relies on advancement and the water structure system is one of the instruments that help creating.The electrical part comprises of photovoltaic, which is intended to create power and the force is put away in the battery-powered battery. The mechanical part comprises of drain to carry out the water from the water source.The target of this undertaking is to build up a framework that will limit the maltreatment of water in an Agricultural Experiment Station. The stunning structure made utilizations electronic spill water system and utilizations the specific water required relying on the dirt wetness. The living arrangement site has nurseries, yields and affiliation houses. The robotized structure collects information from the dampness, temperature, stream sensor, and soil soaked quality sensors. The information gathered is sent indirectly to the cloud.
Project Implementation MethodIn this project, a controller would be installed with which different sensors are connected.The soil moisture sensor,temperature and humidity sensor ,ultrasonic sensor and ph sensor.The soil moisture and ph sensor will work then it checks the controller automatically starts and fulfill the requirement of field and also check the temperature of the field.When there is a need of spray ,the spraying system works automatically.Then interfacing of whole system with wifi module takes place and then data will send to cloud through which anybody can monitor whole the system at anytime and anywhere.
Benefits of the Project•To manage crop production efficiently.
•The agricultural wage has made the farmers and researchers play interest in the development of an automation system.
•The implementation and development of agricultural automation has been executed by autonomous robots.
•It has enabled farmers to execute agricultural operations in a timely manner with the vast technology.
•They will help farmers address the issue of a dwindling workforce and allow them to work more efficiently while saving money on labor.
•Existing pastoral farmers will move to improve their traditional farming base.
New-generation farmers will enter into major irrigation investment. They will increase stock numbers and productivity
•Robots will address a farmworker labour shortage.
•More plants will be harvested and cared for by robots.
•Farmers will spend more time on the business of farming.
• Reducing waste throughout the food supply chain.
•The robot can create and maintain a database of information about the crop such as yield, size, and ripeness.
•Farming creates opportunities to lift people out of poverty in developing nations.
•It will enhance farm income on a sustainable basis, enhance water and nutrients use efficiency.
