IoT Based Agriculture Monitoring System
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryAgriculture is an integral part of Pakistan's economy. Over 60% of Pakistan's population livelihood is associated with agriculture and one-third of the income of the nation arises from agricultural practices. Various issues related to farming are continuously hampering the development of the country. A possible solution for these problems is to opt for modernized agriculture that comprises modern trends. Agriculture can be made smart using IoT and other technologies. Smart agriculture increases crop yield decreases water wastage and imbalanced use of fertilizers. The main feature of this project is that it measures the different agricultural parameters affecting the yield and sends all the data to an Android mobile application providing easy access to information to the farmer.
Project ObjectivesThe main objectives of this project are:
- To update farmers with the new technology and to avoid manual labour.
- To reduce wastage of water and enhance the productivity of crops by providing ideal conditions.
- To meet the difficulties such as severe weather conditions and advancing climate change, and environmental consequences resulting from intensive farming practices.
- To Design a model and connect it to the android app and cloud server.
The basic building blocks of an IoT system are sensors, processors and applications. So the block diagram below is the proposed model of our project which shows the interconnection of these blocks. The sensors are interfaced with Microcontroller, data from the sensor is displayed on the mobile app of the user. The mobile application provides access to the continuous data from sensors and accordingly helps farmers to take action to fulfil the requirements of the soil.
The destiny of Pakistan agriculture must be worked with understanding and excessive cease technologies that can expand production and furthermore regains the attention of farmers in this industry. So these smart farming techniques would assist farmers to lessen scrap and enhance capacity. It is basically a high-tech and capital-intensive system for growing crops in a sustainable manner for the masses. This technology can help farmers to monitor field conditions from anywhere with the help of sensors and can also irrigate fields with an automated system. It is the application of Information and Communication Technology into the field of agriculture.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableFinal deliverables are:
- Develop IoT based platform to gather agriculture related information like temperature humidity and soil moisture.
- Develop a smartphone application capable of fetching the stored data from the database and display the necessary information.
