Connected Fields: IOT-enabled Smart Agriculture System

Abstract

We’re entering a new era of computing technology that many are calling the Internet of Things (Io T). Machine to machine, machine to infrastructure, machine to environment, the Internet of Everything, call it what you want, but it’s happening, and its potential is huge. We see the Io T as billions of smart, connected “things” (a sort of “universal global neural network” in the cloud) that will encompass every aspect of our lives, and its foundation is the intelligence that embedded processing provides. The IoT is comprised of smart machines interacting and communicating with other machines, objects, environments and infrastructures. As a result, huge volumes of data are being generated, and that data is being processed into useful actions that can “command and control” things to make our lives much easier and safer and to reduce our impact on the environment. The creativity of this new era is boundless, with amazing potential to improve our lives. In the modern age, many advance methods are used for the improvement of irrigation system, many facilities are provided to the farmers for the best growth of crops, however, there are not such solutions to efficiently use the resources, and to ease the life of farmers. The purpose of Connected Fields is to eliminate human intervention by automatic irrigation of an agriculture field offering a potential solution that allows farmers to maximize their crop productivity while saving resources i.e. by efficiently using the water resource, using the I o T-enabled smart agriculture system.
