IoT-Based Farmland Monitoring System

Abstract

This study describes a novel approach to designing and developing an Internet of Things-based agriculture monitoring system. The system aims to assist farmers in gathering real-time data to maximize resource use and increase crop yield. Our system collects thorough agricultural data from the farm area by integrating numerous sensor modules that track vital environmental parameters like light, motion, temperature, and moisture. The sensor modules are expertly designed to revolve around an ESP8266 module and a potent PIC16F876A microcontroller, guaranteeing smooth Internet of Things connectivity. The system regularly reads the sensor modules, sending the collected data to a cloud server at predetermined intervals. The system keeps an eye on the surroundings in real-time using a variety of sensors. A microcontroller processes the gathered data, which is then wirelessly transferred to a web application that gives farmers a visual representation of the facts about their crops. For a long time, agriculture has been the primary industry in our nation. However, there are currently obstacles in agriculture because of the migration of people from rural to urban areas. Therefore, we use IoT-based smart farming solutions to solve this issue.
