Recent Trends in Mechatronics Towards Industry 4.0

Abstract

The increasing of world population over the year lead to an exponential in food demanding which is the main cause towards precision agriculture. Sustainability of agriculture production is an emerging and fascinating field of IoT, predictive analytics and classifier research. It helps farmers to enrich their fertigation business and support growth of local economy. This review describes a review of an integrated research field on current fertigation technology, IoT roles with various communication protocols in agriculture. Interestingly, (i) Agricultural crop with fertigation technology required different variables area e.g. electrical conductor (EC), Total dissolve solid (TDS) for different specification in particular crops and (ii) Particular type of wireless communication protocol of real-time data transfer of end-node sensors to gateway is depending on size of farm. It reveals that crops with fertigation technology advancement like IoT capable to sustain the productions even tough in adverse environmental conditions.
