IoT and mechanization in agriculture: Problems, solutions, and prospects

Abstract

The IoT, acronym for the Internet of Things, is a coordination of interconnected digital and mechanical devices, people, animals or objects that have been offered with the talent of sharing information without the assistance of human to machine communication, with the help of unique identifiers. The IoT has faced remarkable victory in the fields of business, medicine, defence, smart city and many more. Agriculture is a main sector that has a vast functional potential while considering the Internet of Things. In order to generate environmental states that are compatible for the growth of plants and animals, protected agriculture uses artificial devices and modern development to manipulate best suited climatic behaviours. In this study, the main focus will be on the recent problems, and suitable solutions faced by agricultural sector and provide prospective high tech and modern IoT applications, structures and technologies.
