Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks for Greenhouse Management

Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy of the country. The agricultural industry is getting more data-centric and requires precise, more advanced data and technologies than before, despite being familiar with agricultural processes. The agriculture industry is being advanced by various information and advanced communication technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Development and deployment of sensing technologies is one of the main steps in achieving sustainability in crop production through precision agriculture. The energy crisis will further accelerate this digitization process. The energy crisis will accelerate this digitization process even more, but at the same time it will help farmers consume energy more responsibly. To optimize electrical energy consumption, farmers need monitoring devices. In this paper the authors propose a low-cost, low-power, long range monitoring device development. The results obtained show the usefulness of such a monitoring device.
