Development of Smart Farming Service System for Smart Farmer using FOSS4G and IoT

Abstract

Agriculture in the Thailand still faced the problem of many aspects, particularly in terms of productivity. Because farmers lack the in-depth information and current weather conditions are extreme variability. Monitoring of environmental conditions in the area of cultivation is important. Currently, electronic technology, telecommunication technology and computer networks are developing rapidly. Also there are many sensor network applications has using from several kind of work. Thus, if the wireless network application can be use for checking the condition of the environment one will create and monitoring environment more efficient. Internet of Thing technologies has been applied widely in various tasks and make many new innovations. The concept of "smart farming" is the use of computer technology and electronics. Including information technology developing technologies to facilitate. Smart farming system is the application of knowledge, science and technology, in order to support with Thailand4.0 to help approve agriculture technology. The aim of this research is to develop the controlling system for measurement of the environment, such as air temperature and humidity, soil humidity,  that user can be easily using and save time for monitoring the environment data. The system is working through the Internet via 3G, 4G or WiFi and smartphone Android is use for monitoring and controlling system. The results of the research, the sensor station can sent an environment information from a wireless sensor network in real-time every time interval by programing. Farmers are able to use the data to design planting. Improve the production process in order to increase productivity and to predict future results as a precision farming.
