Intelligent Farming Utilizing a Soil Tracking Device

Abstract

In order to optimize resource use, having information that is both up to date and accurate is vital. Agriculture utilizes sensors to determine the nutrients, moisture, organic matter, and clay present in the soil. To connect sensors that are positioned in a variety of locations, several technologies are used. Even in the absence of an internet connection, its data will automatically be uploaded to the cloud. Sensors transmit data to adjacent local base stations at varied distances using WiFi, LPWAN, LoRa, and Bluetooth, among other technologies, before transferring it to a distant central base station (CBS). Maintaining the integrity of the signal requires line of sight, coding, and modulation. The data collected by CBS is uploaded to the cloud so that it may be analyzed for trends and visualized. Farmers will now be able to get frequent and up-to-date information without needing to physically be present at the event.
