Smart Solution for Agriculture using Wireless Sensor Network and Internet of Things(IOT)

This paper presents the technology of Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Mesh Sensor Network (WMSN) that will be used in agriculture. In this paper, ZigBee technology platform is applied in 2.45 GHz and active RFID to sustain the WSN by developing a fully automated IoT solution in agriculture for irrigation system. The system includes a plurality of sensor nodes installed in a crop field sending an ID, which are embedded sensor and WSN that work on ZigBee 2.4 GHz platform. The ID was sent to act as a signal of soil in dry condition of a specific area to a reader at base station. The pump stations will use information from base station to sprinkling water in the specific area of the dry state automatically. The automatic control system is very practical in agriculture but most of it is based on schedule and timer regardless of soil condition and temperature. Therefore, wireless automated irrigation system for efficient water use and production is proposed.
