| Summary: | Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging system that
incorporates many technologies from different areas. In this
paper, we present the implementation of IoT in an agriculture
industry, particularly in monitoring an automated fertigation
system. The monitoring system comprises a web-based system, an
automatic fertigation system and a communication network. The
main focus of this paper is on the web-based system where the
data from the SQLite database is used in the web-GUI to display
parameters such as the status of water level, the flow condition of
valves and pipes as well as the overall operation of automated
fertigation system. The paper also described on how farmers can
access the website, set fertigation schedule and determine
fertilizer’s formulation. Different from others, this system is
equipped with emergency mode to stop the fertigation system
which can be controlled directly from the website. Our method
uses a microprocessor to handle the databases, web-GUI and
control communications between the fertigation system and the
web-based system. This system will ease farmers in managing
their automated fertigation system virtually using their mobile
devices |
