Task 1 Annotated Bibliography
The paper is emphasized smart feeding in contemporary farming via IoT into silos.
This research, smart farming has been observed carrying the utmost importance for an
economy in order to foster their growth and tackle issues like hunger and food insecurity.
Apart from this, this research has highlighted the importance of smart farming while ensuring
the well-being of its citizens. On the other hand, aforementioned practices need huge savings
which are actually not inexpensive for SMEs. In this context, the authors have suggested that
smart farming via IoT in silos is a case of costly weighing machines. However, the wide-
range of possibilities of IoT could minimize such costs during linking the data to intellectual
cloud-services like smart feeding systems. In this way, the research has presented a new IoT

device along with methodology for monitoring quality and quantity of grains in silos while
approximating the grains’ volume at altered time durations with humidity and temperature
into the silo.
The proposed study is aimed at applying IoT for improving food and Farming
technologies while investigating the role of the IoT in modern agricultural sector. In this
context, it has been found that in present era agriculture is embedded with advanced
technologies and devices such as GPS, sensors which allow us to efficiently communicate
with each other. In addition to that, in this study data analysis and exchange in relation to
smart farming have been studied. The research found that IoT offers service in the form of a
cloud to modern agriculture. Besides, IoT helps farmers in the fields of
cultivation of crops, fertilizers, pricing, diseases, and detailed methods of their cure.
Furthermore, this study has applied a cloud-based app on agriculture for getting better output.
In this way, agri-cloud demonstrated enhanced agricultural production as well as availability
of data in relation to research projects in the agriculture field.
The selected research study has talked about IoT solutions for food manufacturing and
precision farming while applying artificial intelligence apps within digital food. As we know
that, food processing and farming are lagging behind many industries whenever it is about
using innovative technologies. The authors have presented use of IoT for the farmers which
can work with natural resources for enhancing the sustainability of the agriculture related
operations. Proposed research has examined a practical scenario of a Malthouse. The research
has enabled an AI-based system to prescribe many schedules and settings. In addition to that,
a careful modelling of how carbon di-oxide, humidity, PH and temperature vary in the key
steps of malting procedure has been demonstrated well. Finally, it has been found that malt
