Annotated Bibliography
P. Ratanan, “Lingzhi Mushroom Farm.” Faculty of Agricultural Production, Maejo
University, 2012,pp.1-8. (Thai translation)
The research mentioned in this particular article aims in prototyping a solar system that is
off-grid in nature. This solar system is to be introduced in order to provide a different way of
electric supply for making a Lingzhi mushroom farm smart. This research had applied the usage
of IOT with the help of current and voltage sensors. These sensors would help in measuring the
factors like voltage utilized by the solar cell charger, current used by the solar panel and some
more. This article mentions various equipments that were utilized for carrying out the project.
L.Wei, and Z. Gao, “Study on IOT based Architecture of logistics service supply chain.”
International Journal of Grid and Distributed Computing 7.1, pp. 169-178, 2014.
This article mentions about a research which aims in introducing a small, portable, off-
grid and smart photovoltaic system which would help in providing an alternative method for
electrical supply. This introduction would be helpful in creating a smart agricultural greenhouse.
This particular research used the technology of internet of things for retrieving a photovoltaic
system with the help of MPPT charger controller.
X. L. Xu, et al, “Intelligent fault prediction system based on internet of things.” Computers
and Mathematics with Application, vol. 64, pp. 833-839, 2012.
This particular article mentions regarding the errors that can be predicted with the usage
of IOT in smart farming. The sensors used for smart farming can detect if more power is being

consumed by the appliances used in the farming and if more amount of water is being used while
irrigating the lands and many more. This article discusses regarding the topic that most of the
articles did not mention. It gives an idea about the faults that can be predicted by using IOT in
smart farming.
NECTEC. “NETPIE: Internet of Things,”

(access on 27/02/2017)
This article mentions about some equipments that can be used in order to lower the
consumption of power in the process of farming. These contribute in the process of smart
farming. Some of the equipments include onboard charger, this charger is known as an intelligent
battery charger for charging the vehicles used in the process. Sputtering technology is also one of
the technologies that have been introduced in which a particular amount of water is spread over a
particular size of landfill.
LINE Developers, “Documents: Messaging API,”
https://developers.line.me/messaging-api/overview (access on 25/02/2017)
This article describes regarding a messaging API. This messaging API allows a person to
send a message to the bot regarding some instructions that are supposed to be followed. This
system allows the communication among the line platform the server of the bot application.
When the user sends a message to the bot, a web hook is activated and the platform of LINE
sends a particular request to the web hook URL. The server sends a request to LINE Platform in
order to send a reply to the user.
