The Design of Integrated Agricultural Smart Farm Control System via Cloud Technology

Abstract

This research aims to 1) design of integrated agricultural smart farm control system via Cloud technology and 2) evaluate the suitability of design an integrated agricultural smart farm control system via Cloud technology. This system is used toincrease the efficiency and value of the produce from farmers by applying the principles of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud technology. The system consists of 3 subunits which are 1) the control system for crop farms for both soil crops and aquatic crops 2) the livestock farm control system and 3) the aquatic farm control system. The system can be controlled via an application on the Android system.The suitability of the design an intelligent farm control system for integrated agriculture through Cloud technology was evaluated by 10 experts and 30 users through Cloud technology integrated smart farm control system design suitability assessment form. The results showed that the suitability of the functional system design by the experts was at the highest level (4.58±0.49) and the suitability of the system design for the user farmer was at the highest level (4.70±0.42) which can be applied properly.
