FarmFox: A Quad-Sensor-Based IoT Box for Precision Agriculture

The amalgamation of traditional farming methodology with IoT can lead to sustainable agriculture. With this rationale, we have designed and developed an IoT-enhanced device-FarmFox, which can analyze the sensed information and transmitting it to the user via the internet. FarmFox thrives in real-time data collection, soil health monitoring via in-situ analysis, and controlling the whole architecture from a remote location. Compared to existing devices, FarmFox is an economic alternative as it utilizes Arduino-based hardware. Turbidity and pH, these two parameters are first incorpporated in FarmFox. The results confirm the success of soil health in terms of the four parameters. It is expected that the real-life implementation of FarmFox will lead toward a cost-effective smart solution for sustainable agriculture.
