CE 3.2 Project Background
CE 3.2.1 Characteristics of the project
This project of Design and Fabrication of Plant Irrigation System was my third major
project in engineering career. An automated irrigation system was solely developed for
optimizing the usage of water for the agricultural crops and even for verifying the scarcity of
water within the field. The entire system has dispersed wireless network of the sensors of soil
moisture as well as temperature and conductive, which are being placed within the plants’
root zone. Moreover, the unit of agate way eventually handles all the sensor information,
triggers the actuators, and finally transmits data into the android mobile of the user. A
specific algorithm was made with these threshold soil moisture and temperature values,
which was then programmed within a gateway that is based on microcontroller for
controlling the water quantity. The future of this particular project is extremely advanced and
thus we monitored the crop’s condition that whether they would be affected by various
insects or not with the help of a robot. The robot is supposed to move in the field so that we
could easily monitor the crop’s condition.

CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
This project of Design and Fabrication of Plant Irrigation System had some of the
major objectives. These objectives are given below:
 To design an automatic plant irritation system.
 To fabricate the design with the help of a robot.
 To make sure whether the plant irrigation system would be helpful for the betterment
of the society.
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
I was an important member in the project team for designing and analyzing automatic
plant irrigation system with robotics. I ensured the fact that this project becomes successful. I
had significantly worked under the perfect supervision of my team leader and head of the
department. In the beginning, I had several doubts about the project. However, my team
members and team leader helped me to clear all my doubts and thus I was able to understand
the complete project perfectly. This project has even helped me in understanding the entire
concepts of automatic plant irrigation system as well as utilization of a robot. My major area
of work was to document the entire project report.

CE 3.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I had several significant responsibilities throughout the project. Since this was my
first big project, I undertook significant research within this particular project study. I made
sure that the documentation was done perfectly as I knew that this part was the most
important part of the project. Next, I checked the various processes, which are to be executed
in the project work. I subsequently customized, examined and assessed the products. I even
made the list of the raw materials, required in this project. I kept a record of the data that
were taken while calculating. I even analyzed and interpreted the taken data to design and
analyse the project. I also arranged for project team meetings that were hold in the end of
every week for understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the project.
