Abstract

Integrated Internet of Things (IoT) platforms are needed for realizing IoT potential in commercial-scale applications. The main challenge is to provide solution flexibility to meet custom application needs. We developed an IoT-based platform for smart irrigation, with a flexible architecture to easily connect IoT and machine learning (ML) components to build application solutions. Our architecture enables multiple and customizable analytical approaches to precision irrigation, making room for the improvement of ML approaches. Impacts on different stakeholders can be anticipated, including IoT professionals, by facilitating system deployment, and farmers, by providing cost reduction and safer crop yields. Examples are given based on pilots in Europe and Brazil.
