Track: Automation and Agility

Abstract

This paper presents an automated control system act as machine to machine (M2M), without human intervention base on real time environment of temperature and soil moisture for irrigation in agriculture. Automatic control system is very practical in agriculture but most of it based on schedule and timer regardless of soil condition and temperature. Therefore, wireless automated irrigation system (WARIS) is proposed as a solution in agriculture for irrigation system to suit any crop. In order to build an effective system in farm, an embedded various technologies such as sensors, Zigbee 2.4GHz, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and the Automated Intelligent System are designed in farm to control the amount of water for each crop automatically. This intelligent system is very practical due to the design and development of the real time embedded system. This automatic control system can save about 50% of water and labor cost since it required only one farmer to control the whole farm if necessary.
