Smart agriculture with Seeed Studio case study based on IoT environmental sensors
Modern machine learning (Machine Learning) systems are successfully revolutionizing more industries at a very fast pace. One of the most inspiring uses of these technologies is analysis at the network edge for use in IoT systems. With this, we will be able to transmit huge amounts of data (collected by IoT environmental sensors) via LoRaWAN long-haul technology and then analyze it at the network edge, bypassing the cloud layer often unwanted in deployments.
An excellent case study that illustrates the implementation of such a solution is a smart farm that was created by implementing solutions from Seeed Studio for AI edge analysis, together with IoT environmental sensors. This combination has helped improve animal welfare by responding more quickly to changing environmental parameters and the first signs of disease. Below, we describe the hardware and the method used in this type of implementation:
