Seeding Success: Harnessing IoT for Modern Farming Nabanil Talukdar1, Chandamita Dutta Baruah2 1. Department of Extension Education, Assam Agricultural University, Assam, India 2. Department of Statistics, Gauhati University, Assam, India
---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT The Internet of Things is shortened to IoT. IoT refers to any object that can transmit data when it is linked to a network. When Kevin Ashton, the co-founder and executive director of the MIT Auto ID Center, was introducing RFID tags to Procter and Gamble as their brand manager in 1999, he coined the term "internet of things." The idea was to manage the supply chain so that the location and stock at hand of each item coming out of it could be more easily monitored. IoT device is every object that can be controlled through the internet. IoT is used in agriculture by using robots, drones, sensors, and computer imaging along with analytical tools to monitor and gain insights from farms. Physical equipment is positioned on farms to monitor and capture data that is utilized to gain insights. IoT solutions for farming aim to reduce output losses and meet rising demand from traditional farming operations. IoT in agriculture uses robots, drones, remote sensors and computer imaging. In addition to constantly improving machine learning and analytical tools for surveying, mapping, and crop monitoring, these technologies also give farmers access to data for logical farm management strategies that save time and money. KEY WORDS: IoT, Agriculture, Technology, Smart Farming
INTRODUCTION The term "Internet of Things" (IOT) was coined in 1999 by a member of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) development community. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices, embedded and ubiquitous communication, cloud computing, and data analytics, the IOT has recently gained greater relevance in real-world scenarios. Internet of things (IOT) is a network of physical objects. The internet is no longer just a network of computers; it has grown to be a network of all kinds of devices, including smart phones, cars, toys, medical equipment, cameras, industrial systems, buildings, people, and animals. These devices communicate and share information according to predetermined protocols, enabling clever reorganizations, positioning, tracing, safe and control, and even personal real-time online monitoring, online upgrades, process control, and administration. IoT is an environment where objects, animals or people are equipped with unique identifiers capable of data transmission over Internet network without the need for human-human or human-computer interaction. IoT is useful in practically every aspect of contemporary life. Smart homes, smart agriculture, precision agriculture, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, smart industries, and smart health care are a few of the key areas. A great deal of effort has been put into developing smart farming solutions using IoT technology in the agricultural sector. By analysing the many complexities and difficulties in farming, IoT has brought about a significant revolution in the agricultural environment. The majority of problems have almost entirely been identified by IoT technologies, which also offer cost-effective solutions to boost productivity. We are able to gather data from sensing devices and transmit it to the primary servers thanks to efforts made in wireless sensor networks. Sensor data provides information about various environmental conditions, enabling proper system monitoring. Crop productivity and environmental monitoring are important aspects of crop evaluation, but there are many other factors that also affect crop productivity, such as field management, crop and soil monitoring, the movement of undesired objects, wild animal attacks, theft, and so forth. Additionally, IoT offers a well-organized scheduling system for limited resources, ensuring that the optimal utilization of IoT boosts productivity.
How IoT works IoT seeks to enhance connectivity by linking multiple devices to the internet simultaneously, enabling man-machine and machine-to-machine interactions. This is similar to how the internet has transformed the way we work and communicate with one another by connecting us through the World Wide Web (internet).
