MONITORING SOIL QUALITY

INITIATION PHASE

- Bisma, Mahmoud, Amaan, & Sara

 With increase in digitalization, every problem requires a smart
solution to it, in order to be more effective, efficient, productive,
INTRODUCTIO and reduce cost. Therefore, agriculture also needs digitalization
N to provide fast and effective results . Our objective is to build an
automate prototype to monitor the soil quality.

AGRICULTURE 4.0

MAIN AGRICULTURAL STATIONS

1. Agriculture 1.0: Labour intensive, low

productivity agricultural system.
2. Agriculture 2.0: Agronomics Management
3. Agriculture 3.0: Precision farming entitled
solutions to guidance, sensors & controlling,
Telematics, & Data Management
4. Agriculture 4.0: Smart control devices, Cloud
ICT systems, low – cost microprocessors, RFIDs,
GIS, and so on
- Advancement of digitalized innovation are
significant variable in improving agriculture.
- In Industry 4.0 brought many methods such as
Cloud, IoT, & Big Data.
- The relation between Agricultural 4.0 and
Industry 4.0 is to integrate internal and
external farming operations.

COMPANY
OVERVIEW
 To build a setup using different sensors such as moisture, salinity, temperature,
& PH level to monitor the soil quality. All the sensors will be together inside a
SCOPE cubic or sphere shape device, which will be water resistant. The sensors will
measure and send the results to cloud, maximum 3 samples can be collected to
get the optimized quality of soil.
