Automatic monitoring system of energy-saving agricultural production equipment using wireless sensor network

Abstract

In order to resolve the problem of traditional wireless sensor and wired sensor in an operation and to improve the reliability and practicability of the automatic monitoring system of agricultural production equipment; an energy-saving automatic monitoring system of agricultural production equipment (WSN-APEAM) based on wireless sensor network (WSN) is proposed in this study. In this research, sink of WSN-APEAM system is studied. Sensor nodes and actuators of WSN-FAEAM system are designed. The MAC layer protocol and routing protocol of WSN-APEAM system and also the calibration engine of WSN-APEAM system are designed and implemented. The upper computer management software of WSN-APEAM system is developed. The security framework of WSN-APEAM system is nominated. In the laboratory of Greenhouse, the system is carried out for test. Experiments show that the service cycle of the sensor networks can take more than three months. Sensor nodes can build multi hop-sensor networks in two minutes by wireless Ad Hoc. The response time of the actuator to various control instructions is less than 15 seconds. All kinds of sensing data can be transmitted to the remote upper computer in real time. To access all kinds of sensing data through the internet/intranet on the upper computer, It can be operated. In this regard, the WSN-APEAM system has the advantages of high stability, low energy consumption, low cost, high accuracy, good robustness, convenient installation, and flexible expansion, which analyze the full coverage monitoring of the monitoring area.
