INTERNET OF THINGS
Literature Review
According to Rupanagudi, Ranjani, Nagaraj, Bhat and Thippeswamy (2015), smart
farming represents the significant application of the modernized information and
communications technology or ICT to agriculture. This is also known as third generation
revolution. The plant breeding as well as the genetics revolution is being followed and hence
the third green revolution is taking over the entire agricultural world on the basis of
amalgamated application of the solutions of information and communications technology like
sensors, actuators, the IoT or Internet of Things or IoT, big data, drones, robotics, unmanned
aerial vehicle or precision equipment. Cloud computing is considered as one of the best, the
safest and the most significant technology that helps in transferring data one from location to
another easily and promptly over the Internet connection (Rupanagudi et al., 2015). Since,
this technology is efficient, it is being utilized by several users, without any type of issue.
Moreover, when this technology is combined with the Internet of Things, it provides several
advantages or benefits to the users.
As per Ryu et al. (2015), the smart farming comprises of a real potential for delivering
the more productive as well as sustainable production of agriculture. This is eventually done
on the basis of a more correct, precise or resource efficient approach. More than 80% of the
farmers are utilizing a specific type of smart farming technology in the world. This particular
technology must give that specific farmer with extra value within the form of decision
making or an efficient exploitation operation or management (Ryu et al., 2015). The smart
farming technology is eventually related to the three interlinked fields of technology that are
being addressed by the smart network. These three interconnected fields of technology are
management information systems or MIS, precision agriculture, the agricultural automation
as well as robotics.
