Design and implementation of intelligent monitoring system for agricultural environment in IoT

In the context of population growth and limited resources, the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural production became particularly important. Smart agricultural technology and Internet of Things (IoT) technology have helped farmers with better management tools to improve crop yield and quality. This research takes the IoT as the core and combines sensor, actuator and cloud platform technologies to build a smart greenhouse control system. Environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light are obtained through sensors. And it is uploaded to the cloud platform for storage and analysis. At the same time, light, ventilation, water, and fertilizer inside the greenhouse are controlled automatically by our system to achieve the best crop growth condition. System design adopts a modular design concept. We separately realize the functions of sensor, actuator and cloud platform, where data is transmitted via wireless communication and integrated together. The experimental results show that the cloud control system of smart agricultural greenhouse can effectively monitor the greenhouse environment, optimize efficiency of energy and resource utilization, and help farmers manage greenhouse conveniently and quickly.
