Iot-Enabled Precision Animal Trespass Identification and Deterrence System for Smart Agriculture

Abstract

IoT technology is growing, and it works well with agricultural use cases, which makes it one of the greatest choices for making agricultural tools and gadgets. The proposed work is based on IoT technology. It is a cost-effective Arduino-based IoT prototype that enables the end user (the farmer) to protect and monitor their cropland remotely using various sensors and IoT hardware modules. This would help the farmer deal with the problem of animals trespassing into the fields more efficiently, without harming the animals, and thus avoid any major losses. It is composed of numerous separate hardware components and modules that work together. Using a PIR sensor, the project can tell when an animal is moving. If an animal is moving, a pair of Ultrasonic sensors placed in parallel look for the animal in a specific area near the border of the farmland. If an animal is detected in the area, the buzzer sounds to scare it away, and the GSM Module sends an alert message to the user (Farmer) about the animal trespassing. The system employs deterrence methods, including automated sound and light signals, as well as non-lethal methods such as mild electric shocks or water sprays, strategically placed to deter animals from entering while causing the least amount of injury. Some of the most important features of the system are that it can work with a wide range of farm types, can be expanded to accommodate farms of different sizes, and can integrate with existing farm management systems. Additionally, its cloud-based architecture enables easy monitoring and administration from a distance, providing farmers with valuable information to enhance security and optimize resource utilization.
