Intelligent Instrumentation

Preamble

Farms require maintenance for various reasons: from machinery operations to soil testing and growth monitoring the plants and trees. This project aims to develop a platform that allows remote operation and control of much of the tasks noted above.

Objective

To create a prototype for a fully automated cloud connected farming solution.

Partial Specifications

This projects application specific sensors, short and long range communications, server, and decision making process to allow closed-loop monitoring system

Suggested Approach

1) Selecting Appropriate sensors.
2) Selecting appropriate communication protocols.
3) Selecting proper decision making process.

I will provide source and codes when the team is finalized.
