Smart Farming Technologies: A Methodological Overview and Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive examination of smart farming solutions through a systematic review of literature available in various digital repositories. Methodologically, we categorize the devices and technologies utilized in these solutions into sensors, actuators, gateways, power supplies, networking, data storage, data processing, and information delivery. Through this analysis, we identify the most commonly employed devices and technologies in smart farming solutions and discuss their utilization within the proposed categories. By synthesizing the gathered information, we offer insights into the current landscape of smart farming, accompanied by recommendations for the selection of devices and technologies tailored to each category. This research contributes to the understanding of smart farming technology and aids stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding the implementation of such solutions.
