WIRELESS FRAMEWORK FOR MONITORING AND CONTROLLING AGRICULTURAL ACTIONS

To monitor & control the remotely situated Electro-Mechanical system or system parameters’ we propose novelwireless framework using cell phones‘s SMS facilities. Our system enables the farmer to get the intimation about status bothon demand as well as automatically in critical situations viz. water level in the tank or well, voltage and current level, waterlevel reached in the field while pouring water to the crop, pressure, Temperatures etc. in the form of feedback SMS andcontrol the operations of the system accordingly. We also made an attempt to keep the log of the status of variousparameters in a PC for future reference. The system has been tested on-field for monitoring and controlling Pump-Setactions and pouring the water to crops based on soil condition. We found that results are very satisfactory and encouraginggiven the simplicity and cost effectiveness of the framework.
