Developing an Agriculture Internet of Things (IoT) Application Taking the Plants Humidity Preventive Maintenance (PM) as an Example

The advanced Information and communication technology (ICT) technology is the driving force behind this fast-growing evolution. With the flourishing development of the Internet of things (IoT), the IoT-related application is everywhere. IoT has brought transformations in various fields, including the industry. IoT technology has been applied extensively in industries, including agriculture, manufacturing. IoT can be described as the interactive framework where numerous sensor, equipment, device, platform is synchronized and connected by using the gateway, third-party technologies, and cloud computing in a machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Recently, the application of cloud computing in the IoT has attracted considerable attention from various researchers and professionals. Cloud computing has evolved, and develop a diverse type of service models such as agriculture as a service (AaaS) in the agriculture industry. AaaS is one of the cloud services series. This study surveyed agriculture IoT related studies from 2015 to 2019. It investigates the disciplinary distribution of emerging related topics. The findings of this study show that data, IoT, and are the key issues driving researches, which are associated with agriculture IoT. This study developed a remote control system in agriculture IoT. The results demonstrated that the proposed system offers the appropriate tool for the users to remote control equipment and build the preventive maintenance strategy.
