AgroSmart - A Smart Farming Solution

IoT Based Field Monitorin and Control Platfornm Using MEAN Stack.

Abstract

We have implemented IOT and smart agriculture techniques to conserve the limiting natural resources and maximize the production of the fields. AgroSmart was directed to make the work of the farmers easier and less complicated. We have approached the solution of this problem by designing certain devices called SmartPods, which are to be sowed in the soil (having a limited coverage) they will provide valuable information like soil quality, humidity, temperature (all the features required to be monitored while farming) easily with the help of controllers and the results are displayed in a webpage which is designed solely for monitoring real time data gathered from the Smart Pods. After analysing the statistical data and graphs we could predict the meteorological conditions of the area, the type of crop suitable for cultivation in that area and the optimum requirements of that crop in the given environment, which helped us in estimating the exact amount of resources required, the crop to be cultivated and what uncertainties to expect from the weather of the region.

Sections of this Project

This project has a physical layer under "SmartPODS", back end framework in ExpressJS and Frontend in Angular. The physical layer can be used over any WiFi enabled microcontroller like NodeMCU (ESP8266) or ESP32.
You can find all the arduino libraries and the code inside the Smart Pods Folder.
The backend API is located under the api folder.
And the front-end is located under web/dashboard folder.
