Abstract

Smart farming is an agricultural innovation that has been increasingly applied to modern agriculture because it can increase production efficiency, reduce costs, and control production quality. It can also be used for monitoring environmental control data which is an important variable in plant cultivation. Since the control system is operated 24 hours a day, such applications consume a lot of electricity. Therefore, this research aimed to develop an algorithm that could reduce power consumption by at least 20% for use in a smart farm system without changing or adding equipment from the original smart farm. An improved algorithm was used to control the output from the original smart farm system with an algorithm to monitor changes in inputs such as temperature and humidity over time in each season, in combination with Deep Sleep Mode (DSM). In addition, it was designed to be compatible with database systems and to display web pages through a wireless network browser to monitor the operation in real time. From a 40-day comparative test on electricity usage between the original smart farm system and the developed smart farm system, it was found that the original smart farm system consumed 42.25 kWh of electricity and the proposed smart farm system consumed 21.04 kWh. The electric power consumption of the developed smart farms system decreased by 21.21 kWh, representing a 50.20% reduction compared to the original smart farms system. In addition, crickets raised in both systems showed similar growth. Therefore, it can be concluded that the algorithm developed, when applied to control the operation of the smart farm system, can effectively reduce electricity consumption.
