What is the Internet of Things in Agriculture?

In recent years in the field of agriculture, the agricultural Internet of Things is mentioned very often, as we all know, the agricultural Internet of Things technology on the rapid development of the sudden agricultural help, but in the end how the integration of agriculture and Internet of Things technology, agricultural Internet of Things in the end what is the essence of the agricultural Internet of Things, perhaps some people are not too clear, so here to give you a brief introduction.

The essence of the agricultural Internet of Things is to apply the Internet of Things technology to agricultural production and management, so that agriculture is more informative and intelligent. Agricultural Internet of Things instantiated application refers to the sensing end of the use of a large number of sensing devices (for example, agricultural environmental information sensors, image acquisition, RFID, etc.), a wide range of agricultural production, management and operation of a variety of information in the environment (for example, field planting, horticulture facilities, animal husbandry, aquaculture, traceability of agricultural products, etc.), to formulate a more uniform data transmission protocols and data formats for multiple sources of conversion methods In addition, we have realised the efficient transmission of multi-scale and multi-source agricultural information through the use of wireless sensor networks, mobile communication networks and the Internet, etc. in accordance with local conditions. Finally, with the help of cloud computing and big data multiple information technology for deep integration and processing, and with the help of intelligent control terminals for closed-loop control of agriculture, so as to achieve automation and optimal control. In fact, the Internet of Things is the core of intelligent agriculture.

So, agriculture and the Internet of Things technology in the end how to integrate?

The integration of agriculture and Internet of things technology, should come from the different production needs of the collocation, and then the use of software, hardware technology equipped with solutions suitable for agricultural Internet of things, so the different breeding areas of agricultural Internet of things solutions are not the same. To greenhouse cultivation activities, for example, the agricultural Internet of things to be used in which the main purpose is to solve the problem of environmental fine control, and greenhouse intelligent management system is specifically for greenhouse cultivation management and put forward a kind of agricultural Internet of things solutions, it can use a variety of sensors for greenhouse environmental data collected automatically, but also directly on the indoor temperature, light, water, fertiliser, gas and other elements to be It can also directly regulate the indoor temperature, light, water, fertiliser, gas and other elements to maintain a suitable environment for the growth of greenhouse crops, and then achieve the purpose of high and stable production all year round.

In summary, the use of Internet of Things technology in agriculture is not only the liberation of manpower so simple, but to make the rough agricultural production refinement and controllable, not only planting costs significantly reduced, planting risk significantly reduced, while planting revenue has also been significantly improved, effectively enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of modern agriculture.
