WORKING MODEL OF IOT EMBEDDED
SMART POLYHOUSE AGRICULTURE
SYSTEM
Abstract
In the technological embedded world, IoT has taken a long gait towards making the society a
smart society whether it is in terms of education, life style, health care or agriculture. Keeping
into consideration various benefits of IoT, this research paper presents a working model of an
IoT embedded smart polyhouse agriculture system. The system utilizes various sensors to
collect environmental data, which is processed by a microcontroller and sent to the cloud for
analysis. The proposed system is capable of controlling various actuators to maintain optimal
growing conditions for crops, and alerts the farmer in case of critical environmental changes.
Apart from this, it is a mobile connected agriculture system which connects mobile app with
the farmer to remotely monitor and control the polyhouse environment, while data analytics
provide insights that can help improve crop management. The proposed system has the potential
to significantly increase crop yield and reduce water usage in agriculture, while also providing
real-time monitoring and control for farmers.
