Abstract:
58% of India’s population relies on agriculture to earn their living is an estimation established by IBEF(Indian Brand Equity Foundation). In view of this, farmers contribute most to the Indian economy amongst many other professions. While technology is evolving, the agricultural sector still follows ad-hoc procedures and is yet to be digitized. Commencing from the rudimentary activities of framing like sowing seeds, soil maintenance of the field, timely irrigation of the crops and appropriate harvesting schedule are some of the essential tasks among many others. This paves the way for technology to help and support farmers perform their rudimentary tasks smartly and help them focus on other complicated tasks that require human intervention. Technologies like IoT, AI/ML and Server-End technologies can essentially help in creating a pipeline of streamlined processes that are reliable and convenient to farmers. These technologies help build an ecosystem of smart processes which could eventually lead to making farming an easier occupation and less prone to risks. The proposed system in this article provides IoT-oriented solutions involving precision farming and robotics to help farmers reduce human effort. In Particular, the idea being put forward aims to provide an automatic seeding robot which would take charge of seed sowing, further over this design, making use of the base structure of the robot other functionalities such as soil moisture content detection for irrigation assistance and plant disease prediction can be achieved by making use of swappable modules which contain different types of sensors bringing about an efficient manner of farming along with the use of data visualization tools to help the farmers to make educated decisions to increase their crop yield and thereby increase the profits earned. Also a dashboard would be provided to tie all this up over the cloud, that gives timely predictions and alerts to the farmer which will be useful to take the nec...
