A Cost and Power Analysis of Farmer Using Smart Farming IoT System

Day-by-day India’s population is consistently increasing, and it is expected to reach beyond 1.3 billion.  In fact after 25 years, serious problems will be predicted regarding food. Hence, it is necessary to develop an innovative system for benefiting the agricultural sector as early as possible. The farmers are suffering due to the reduced rainfall and water scarcity. The traditional farmland irrigation techniques require manual intervention. To overcome this challenge, the proposed research work has developed an automatic irrigation system, which is powered by a smart solar system for saving time, money and work of the farmer. Solar panels will continuously track the position of the sun to ensure the maximum energy production. In addition, an intruder detection system [IDS] is installed into the irrigation system with the help of passive infrared sensor to track where the birds and some other animals are repelled from entering into the field. A Wi-Fi module has been used to establish a communication link between the farmer and the field. The farmer can access the information about the field condition anytime.
