•There
are numerous IoT applications in farming such as collecting data
on temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed, pest infestation, and soil
content.
•This
data can be used to automate farming techniques, take informed decisions to
improve quality
and quantity, minimize
risk and waste,
and reduce effort required to manage crops.
•For
example, farmers can now monitor soil temperature and moisture from afar, and
even apply IoT-acquired data to precision fertilization programs.
•In
August 2018, toyota Tsusho began a partnership with Microsoft to create fish farming tools using the Microsoft azure application suite for IoT
technologies related to water management.
• Developed
in part by researchers from kindai university, the water pump mechanisms use artificial intelligence to
count the number of fish on a conveyor belt, analyze the number of fish, and deduce
the effectiveness of water flow from the data the fish provide.
