Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the integration of advanced automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) in precision agriculture, highlighting its potential to enhance sustainable crop development and monitoring techniques. The research explores key components required for IoT-based smart farming, including hardware platforms, cloud computing, data processing techniques, and communication protocols. The study emphasizes how IoT enhances agricultural sensing and monitoring, improving crop development, food processing, and farm resource utilization. Additionally, IoT applications contribute to a better understanding of agricultural conditions, such as weather patterns, weed growth, pest infestations, and plant diseases. This study categorizes IoT applications in agriculture into unmanned machinery, control systems, monitoring systems, and management systems, examining their role in automating farm operations. Furthermore, different wireless communication technologies, such as LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, mobile communication, and Bluetooth, are evaluated for their impact on IoT-based agriculture. The study also discusses the potential of 5G technology in expanding the scalability and efficiency of IoT applications in precision farming. In conclusion, IoT-driven smart farming, when integrated with customized communication systems, can enhance crop quality, increase productivity, and reduce labor requirements, contributing significantly to the automation and sustainability of the agricultural sector.
