Introduction to the system of agricultural Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is a new type of technical system combining various types of information technology, the application of Internet of Things in agriculture meets the requirement of modern agriculture development and represents the orientation of future agriculture. In this article the Internet of Things system in agriculture is analyzed according to its systematic structure including its perception level, transmission level and application level and perception level, the sensor is the core of this level, multidimensional agricultural information can be obtained by advanced technology such as sensing and remote sensing about crops, soil and environment etc. The transmission level consists of wireless transmission network combing wireless transmission methods such as Zigbee, GPRS, WIFI and Bluetooth and network technology. The application level involves in intelligent management of agriculture including multi-dimensional information integration, intelligent decision and automatic control. The orientation of research and development is shown for the Internet of Things system in agriculture in this article. Its development will bring a brand-new reform for modern agriculture and realize agricultural automation and intellectualization.
