farming IoT solSmart utions: Overview

The process of modernizing agricultural practices through the use of digital technologies has led to the emergence of new concepts such as precision agriculture, digital agriculture and Smart farming. The term Intelligent Agriculture refers to the use of technologies such as IoT sensors (Internet of Things) on your farm, positioning systems, robots and artificial intelligence. Below we outline some IoT solutions and applications for agriculture and how the Internet of Things can help farms meet global food needs in the coming years.    

Smart farming based on IoT solutions improves the entire farming system by monitoring the field in real-time. Smart farming based on IoT technology enables growers and farmers to reduce waste, increase productivity, vary the amount of fertilizer used, the number of trips made by agricultural vehicles and the efficient use of resources such as water and electricity. Predictive analytics and intelligent agriculture crop forecasting play a key role in helping farmers decide plans for crop production, crop storage, marketing techniques and risk management.

Precision farming, which uses the IoT, relies on data collected from various sensors in the field to help farmers allocate sufficient resources to a plant. Smart farming supports sustainable and cost-effective agriculture by combining navigation, satellite and earth observation data to make it easier for farmers to make informed decisions about how they grow. In the past, farmers used a smart farming approach to collect data and then make informed decisions from that data.    

Monitoring and collecting data on soil moisture, air temperature and humidity can improve crop yields on large local farms. Efforts are taken to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural products by making them smarter and connected, also known as precision farming, to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural products. The IoT Solutions (Internet of Things) refers to recent advances in intelligent agriculture, which is data-driven and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to make better decisions. 

IoT-based smart farming will improve the entire farming system by monitoring the field in real-time. Smart farming based on IoT solutions will enable growers and farmers to reduce waste and increase productivity by varying the amount of fertiliser used, the number of journeys made by agricultural vehicles and the efficient use of resources such as water and electricity.  

Smart farming is a management concept based on providing the agricultural industry with the infrastructure to use advanced technologies such as big data, the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) to track, monitor, automate and analyze operations. Smart farming is an emerging concept that refers to the management of farms that use modern information and communication technologies to increase the quantity and quality of the products while optimizing the human resources needed. While the name may sound fanciful and futuristic, smart farming.

IoT solutions used in agriculture are no different from devices used in other industries such as healthcare and manufacturing, but cyber threats can be dangerous to smart farming devices. Precision agriculture and IoT technologies require work with large amounts of data, increasing the number of potential security vulnerabilities that perpetrators can exploit for data theft and hacker attacks. Farmers face challenges in investing in a smart IoT ecosystem due to poor performance of smart agricultural equipment, high vulnerability to hardware damage, high risk of data leaks and unstable communication between smart agricultural installations.    

Farmers can make informed decisions to improve all aspects of their work by using IoT sensors to capture environmental and machine metrics, from livestock farming to plant breeding. For example, using smart agricultural sensors to monitor the condition of crops, they can define how many pesticides and fertilizers they should use to achieve optimum efficiency.

New intelligent agriculture applications based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology enable the agricultural industry to reduce waste and increase productivity. In the case of precision farming, intelligent farming techniques allow farmers to monitor the needs of each animal and adjust their diet to prevent disease and improve herd health. Farmers can use smart greenhouses and plant monitoring systems to leverage insights from big data analysis to regulate crop spraying, irrigation, lighting, temperature, humidity and more.
