AgDataBox-IoT—Managing IoT Data and Devices in Precision Agriculture

The growing global population intensifies food demand, challenging the agricultural sector to increase efficiency. Precision agriculture (PA) addresses this challenge by leveraging advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor networks, to collect and analyze field data. However, accessible tools for storing, managing, and analyzing these data are often limited. This study presents AgDataBox-IoT (ADB-IOT), a novel web application designed to fill this gap by providing a user-friendly platform for optimizing agricultural management. ADB-IOT integrates into the existing AgDataBox ecosystem, extending its capabilities with dedicated IoT functionalities. The application enables farmers to plan IoT networks, visualize and analyze field-collected data through thematic maps and graphs, and monitor and control IoT devices. This integrated approach facilitates informed decision-making, improves control over sustainable soil management, and enhances the overall efficiency of agricultural operations. As a freely accessible tool, ADB-IOT lowers the barrier to adopting precision agriculture technologies.
