WHAT IS SMART FARMING?

Smart farming involves the integration of advanced technologies into existing farming practices to increase production efficiency and the quality of agricultural products.

Benefits of IoT in smart farming

·       Plenty of data can be collected by smart agriculture sensors. The collected data can be used to track the performance, equipment efficiency, etc.

·       Better control over the internal processes helps to lower production risks.

·       Effective cost management and waste reduction can see any inconsistency in crop growth.

·       High product quality and good volumes. Better maintenance with higher standards in the quality of crop and automate the growth capacity.

·       Lowers environmental impact of farming.

·       Improves product quality, nutrients, and taste.

 

APPLICATIONS OF IoT IN AGRICULTURE FOR SMART FARMING

Internet of Things keeps the agriculture sector connected to the world to create smart solutions. The wireless temperature sensors help grow crops by gaining control over crops and resources by leveraging the right IoT solution. Water monitoring systems and Soil parameter monitoring systems can help farmers make more informed decisions to achieve higher crop yields, better quality procedures, and save costs by reducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Sensors will capture real-time data to enable accurate forecasting, build predictive and preventive models to improve and maintain the quality and consistency of crops. This is the most thriving technology in recent time.

applications of smart farming

Dairy Operations

IoTs applications advanced technology arrive with wearable devices. that collect health-related data by monitoring the cattle’s activity daily. ‘Datamars’ and ‘Fitbark’ are among the leading manufacturers of animal devices.

Weather Prediction

Monitoring weather conditions through IoT immensely benefits agriculture. The sensor named ‘Mark’ is currently the only one known in the market. It combines weather and plant measurements.

Greenhouse Automation

IoT allows weather stations to automatically adjust weather conditions as per the specific set of instructions to make a smart greenhouse.

1.    IoT embedded systems track the greenhouse and control the climate. Thus eliminating the necessity of human intervention.

2.    Reduces production loss, energy loss, and labor cost.

‘Grolink’ and ‘PharmaP’ offer the best IoT agricultural products with these capabilities.

Benefits of Smart Greenhouses

·       Maintain ideal micro-climate

·       Enhance irrigation and fertilization practices

·       Control infection and avoid disease

·       Prevent thefts and improve security

·       Enhance chemical and resource-use efficiency.

Smart Logistics and Warehousing

Smart logistics and warehousing system gives complete control and visibility over overproduction and stock effectively.

Soil Health Monitoring

Accurately measures various parameters in the soil such as temperature, water content, oxygen level, water-absorbing capacity, etc. Sensors placed near the plants allow continuous monitoring of the crop. It collects useful soil information over a while to track and predict irrigation requirements. The farmer can immediately check the status of the crop on his mobile and receive alerts when sensitive points are reached.

Monitoring Climatic Conditions

Accurately predict the weather conditions and avoid significant financial loss. It enables farmers to monitor weather conditions accurately and in real-time.

Monitor Grain storage

Grain storage is a required component of the crop production supply chain. ‘TeleSense’ is a real-time food safety monitoring that developed a sensor ball that is kept on a heap of crop products.

Pest Management

Pests are a real challenge on the farms. IoT helps farmers to address crop safety challenges with more precision and enhance productivity. Rentokil is using this latest IoT-enabled pest control technology.

Precision Farming

Precision farming is a technology used to make accurate and efficient data-based decisions with precise data. It makes the agriculture process more accurate and controlled by smart applications. CropX develops IoT soil sensors to measure temperature, electrical conductivity, and soil moisture. It reduces waste and enhances productivity by optimizing fertilizer use to increase the efficiency of farm vehicle routes.

Robotic Weeding

Robotics have shaped agriculture practices beyond recognition. The robot works by running in the field without human intervention. It involves fertilizing, spraying, crop harvesting robots, planting and seeding machines. E.g. Tertill, RIPPA, Hortibot, Swagbot, ASTERIX, AgBot II, Blue River LettuceBot2, ecoRobotix, etc.

GPS/ SNSS

GPS/ SNSS assists the farmer with tasks ranging from soil sampling to accurate planting, through the creation of yield maps to crop scouting.

Farmer management software

Farm management software allows you to benefit from interactive maps, easy and efficient data collection while infield, product and pest information, and much more.

Drone Deployment

Drones are increasingly being used to monitor farmland. They help identify problems and improve the overall yield and field-insightful information in another growth area. The drone system called Scout is designed for remote missions.

1.    Helps in farm surveying, crop dusting, and spraying which otherwise consumes a lot of manual effort on the ground.

2.    Farmers can get an aerial view of the entire field and identify irrigation problems, soil variation, pests, and fungal infections.

Livestock Management

Using IoT the farmers are capable of monitoring their livestock’s health and feed delivery. It is effective in preventing the unwanted death of livestock animals.

1.    Farmers get notified about animals' vitals with the help of electronic smart bands attached to them.

2.    Help in tracking the location of the animals if they get lost.

3.    Notifies the farmer when the cattle are ready for labor, which promotes successful births.

Cavli is the leading name in this domain, providing IoT-enabled livestock wearables.

Livestock Management

Fleet of Agribots

Agricultural robots or Agribot is a robot that performs agricultural activities and autonomously monitors the field. A herd of specialized Agribots sends to crops, weeding, fertilizing, and harvesting. Using IoT and wireless sensor network farm monitoring and intruder detection operations can be supported.

Smart Tractor’s

Smart tractors connected with the cloud and control directions from sensors and drones. Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to navigate the specific locations and also better control of automatic steering system. Optimized route planning reduces soil erosion, reduced labor costs, and saves fuel energy.

IoT in Agriculture

Autonomous self-driving tractors, adaptive irrigation systems, and animal welfare monitoring systems are possible with IoT technology. Smart factories that use the industrial internet of things (IIoT) with the help of analytics and automation systems. IIoT helps in tracking goods in real-time, inventory management, and automated delivery system.
