3. INTRODUCTION
•Internet Of Things is the concept of connecting any
devices to the internet and to other connected devices.
• SMART MICROWAVES : which automatically, cook your food for
right length of time.
• FITNESS DEVICES : that measures your heart rate and the
number of steps you’ve taken that day.
4. APPLICATIONS
1. AGRICULTURE : The quality of soil is crucial to produce good crops, and IOT offers farmers
the possibility to access detailed knowledge and valuable information of their soil condition.
2. HEALTH : The use of sensors connected to patients, allows doctors to monitor a patient’s
condition.
3. HOSPITALITY : With the implementation of electronic keys, which are sent directly to the
mobile devices of each guest.
5. IOT SENSORS FOR AGRICULTURE
• With IOT Sensors, farmers can get real time data about their crops and
make better decisions on how to harvest them.
• Now we combine Technology and Agriculture very smoothly.
• Farmers are now able to use high quality technology conveniently and
happily to grow their plants, tend them correctly and harvest them in large
quantities.
6. HOW IOT CAN BE USED IN
AGRICULTURE
1. PROVIDES REAL TIME DATA ABOUT CROPS –
The data collected by IOT sensors can provide a real time picture of what’s
going on in the field.
2. HELPS FARMERS MAKE BETTER DECISIONS ON HOW TO
HARVEST –
The ability to have greater knowledge about his/her field allows a farmer to
better predict future yields, which helps accurately plan for storage needs.
7. EXAMPLES OF IOT DEVICES IN AGRICULTURE
AGRICULTURE DRONES : great way to capture aerial imagery of crops.
GRAIN BIN MONITORING : used to help farmers monitor their grain and prevent spoilage.
WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENTS FOR TANKS AND SILOS : it make sure the liquid stays at an optimal
depth.
8. BENEFITS OF USING IOT IN
AGRICULTURE
REDUCED RESOURCES : focused on optimizing use
of resources- water, energy, land.
IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY : it helps both grow
more and better products. Using connected systems, they
can recreate the best conditions and increase nutritional
value of products.
AGILITY : farmers can quickly respond to any significant
change in weather, humidity, air quality.
9. REAL TIME APPLICATIONS OF
IOT IN AGRICULTURE AND USES
CASES
LIVESTOCK MONITORING
{It helps farmers to collect data regarding the location, well-being,
and health of their cattle.}
DRONES FOR FIELD MONITORING
{Drones have a range of uses from soil and crop field analysis to
planting and pesticide spraying.}
MONITORING CLIMATE CONDITIONS
{Weather stations equipped with smart sensors can collect
weather data and send useful information to a farmer.}

11. FUTURE CHALLENGES
• CHALLENGES IN USING SMART TECHNOLOGIES IN FARMING :
[Due to poor communication infrastructure they won’t be able to take benefit of this
technology.]
• THE SMART AGRICULTURE HIGH COST :
[Equipment needed to implement IOT in agriculture is expensive. However sensors are the
least expensive component. ]
• LACK OF SECURITY :
[Since IOT devices interact with older equipment they have access to the internet
connections, there is no guarantee that they would be able to access drone mapping data or
sensor readouts by taking benefits of public connections.]

13. CURRENT TRENDS AND INNOVATIONS
Drones play an important role in carrying out farming operations in advanced farming
and crop management owing to their excellent surveillance capability.
Drone technology combined with sophisticated technologies such as sensors, cameras
and other analytical software aid in field monitoring, soil assessment, irrigation and
drainage, and harvest planning.
These machines are equipped with advanced imaging systems and thermal sensors
which help farmers to access water and nutrient requirements in specific areas.

15. IOT TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE
IOT solutions are focused on helping farmers close the supply demand gap, by ensuring high
yields, profitability, and protection of the internet.
Declining agriculture workforce, adoption of internet conductivity solutions in farming practices
has been triggered, to reduce the need for manual labour.
The farmers can monitor the field conditions from anywhere.
Smart farming based on IOT Technologies enables farmers to reduce waste and enhance
productivity ranging from quantity of fertilizers .
16. CONCLUSION
• As we continue to move into a more connected world with smarter
devices in every household, it’s easy to see how IOT sensors could
be used in agriculture settings.
• They can be installed along irrigation systems or inside greenhouse
where they then monitor temperature, humidity levels, crop health
and so much more.
