IoT and Energy Efficiency for Smart Agriculture using Adcon Telemetry Devices
George Dan Suciu, Teodora Ușurelu, Cristian Beceanu, Marius Dobrea · 2018
The IoT concept has grown in recent years and has transformed people's lives by making them easier, regardless of the scope of application. The global population is projected to grow more and more, reaching 9 billions by the year 2050, so IoT devices are needed in agriculture to increase crop yield and therefore feed sources. However, this solution is not exempt from challenges. Weather conditions, climate change and the environment have a great impact on farming practices. To reduce the costs and losses involved in these activities, we analyze the use of the equipment provided by Adcon Telemetry, such as solutions for plant monitoring, disease detection, frost warning, decision support, management and water quality. All data collected by Adcon equipment can be viewed on the addVANTAGE Pro platform, which can be accessed anywhere using a web browser and Internet connection, in graphical or tabular form.
