Advancement of mechanical automation in the agriculture sector and overview of IoT

Abstract

In the increasing population scenario, the agriculture sector is playing an important role to overcome the food scarcity conditions for the food safety of the whole world. Mechanization in the agriculture sector has increased the production of different crops and opened a new era of precision agriculture. Recently, the conventional use of farm machinery has been changed with the automation of agricultural devices. This innovation has revolutionized the field of precision agriculture. Different type of high-quality effective sensor has been installed in the field for efficient use of irrigation water, fertilizers, fungicides and disease prevention in different crops. This technique has increased the agriculture yield and lowered the cost of production. The use of IoT technology in agricultural farms has relieved the farmer through the use of mobile Apps and high-speed internet connections. These systems provide all the necessary information through the comparison of data collected from the farm with already stored standard charts in the database for a farmer during the management of a crop in a precise way. So, this innovation in the automation of agricultural devices is playing an important role in precision agriculture and also helping the farmers to increase the production to overcome the food scarcity of the world.
