Abstract
Smart agriculture is an approach that helps those managing agricultural systems deal with technological changes in an efficient manner, aiming to provide the agriculture industry with the infrastructure to leverage advanced technologies - including big data, the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) - to track, monitor, automate and analyze operations.
Thanks to new technologies and precisely the Internet of Things, the agricultural sector will have a radical change to improve efficiency, productivity, global market and reduce human intervention, time and costs. Smart agriculture and IoT-based agriculture are laying the foundation for a "third green revolution," which refers to the combined application of information and communication technologies. This paper focuses on role of IoT in agriculture and presents some devices such as precision equipment, IoT sensors and actuators, geo-positioning systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robots that leads to smart agriculture.
1. Introduction
The evolution of technology now allows for more suitable agricultural and housing spaces. Internet of Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized all areas of common life by simplifying it. IoT refers to a network of objects that make a self-configuring network. The development of devices based on intelligent agriculture, IoT revolutionizes day by day the agricultural production strengthening it but also making it profitable and reducing waste. The purpose of this article is to help farmers to obtain real data (temperature, soil moisture, the amount of light from the soil environment) for effective monitoring of the environment, which will help to achieve smart farming and increase the overall yield and quality of products.
