Patent #AGRI-2024-002
Smart Farming Assistant Suite
A complete automation + monitoring system that gives farmers, greenhouse operators, and agri-managers real-time insights, smart irrigation, and AI-driven recommendations. It merges IoT sensors, automated control systems, cloud dashboards, and multilingual apps into a high-precision farming ecosystem.
Purpose
Think of it as a personal digital assistant for every farm manager. Monitor soil, control pumps, automate irrigation, detect anomalies, and get weather-based recommendations — all from a single pane of glass.
Product UI
Mobile Experience
Explore the actual Smart Farming Assistant app screens — from dashboard overview to device controls and automation scheduling — presented in an interactive scroll experience. Scroll to see each screen with detailed descriptions.
Dashboard Overview
Command center with live device count, online status, and a quick summary of recent farm events.
Device Overview
Per-device cards showing connectivity, last update time, and key environmental readings at a glance.
Sensor Monitoring
Live graphs for temperature, humidity, and soil moisture with trend indicators for each plot.
Actuator Controls
Relay controls to toggle pumps, lights, and fans with instant feedback on each device state.
Schedule Automation
Automation rules by day/time so irrigation and equipment run on schedule without manual effort.
Settings & Profile
Profile and system settings in one place—contact details, alerts, and device preferences.
Account Management
Account controls for admins: manage users, devices, and permissions from a single panel.
Focus
Boost Productivity
Automate repetitive farming tasks while staying alerted to anomalies in soil moisture, temperature, and humidity. Predict, plan, and react faster — reducing manual labor and increasing crop yield.
Deployment
Edge + Cloud Ready
Local gateways (ESP32 edge devices) keep automations running even without internet. When connected, they sync with cloud analytics so farm managers can orchestrate multiple locations from a unified dashboard.
Sensing Layer
Live Soil Intelligence
- •Real-time temperature (DHT11)
- •Soil moisture percentage
- •Humidity levels
- •30-second interval updates + threshold alerts
- •Sensors calibrated to local crop types
Irrigation Control
Automated Watering Engine
- •Smart logic on ESP32 triggers watering when soil moisture drops below threshold
- •Real-time relay control + manual override from the app
- •Safety fallback if thresholds are corrupted
- •Supports 5 independent irrigation lines
- •Cuts water usage by 30–40% during peak seasons
Automation Engine
Rules run directly on the device for reliability. If soil moisture dips, temperature rises, and humidity drops, the motor kicks in without needing the cloud.
IF soil_moisture < threshold AND temperature > limit AND humidity < limit → Trigger Motor
- ✔Rules run directly at the edge for reliability (no cloud dependency).
- ✔IF soil_moisture < threshold AND temperature > limit AND humidity < limit → Trigger Motor.
- ✔Rule frequency configurable by the farmer with execution history logs.
- ✔Weather-aware adjustments keep irrigation aligned with forecasts.
Cloud Dashboard
Multi-farm overview with online/offline status + last-seen timestamps.
Graphs for temperature, humidity, and soil moisture in one pane.
Control panel for 5 relays with instant actuation feedback.
Smart alerts for abnormal readings + anomaly detection.
Perfect for remote monitoring when farmers are away from the fields — glance at every pump, sensor, and relay in seconds.
Weather Integration
- ▹Rain predictions and evaporation estimates.
- ▹Irrigation delay or spraying window suggestions.
- ▹Crop-safe temperature alerts for each district.
Advisory is localized for Indian districts, ensuring recommendations align with real-world climate behavior.
Multilingual Support
Alerts, notifications, and instructions are culturally adapted — not just translated — so farmers take action quickly.
Security
- Firebase authentication with device ownership verification.
- Encrypted sensor data in transit and at rest.
- No location tracking; only authorized farm zones are monitored.
- Role-based access for admins, agronomists, and field operators.
Device Setup
- Power the ESP32 controller.
- Connect to device Wi-Fi (AP mode) from the Flutter app.
- Enter farm SSID + password and assign the plot.
- Device auto-registers under the user’s account and starts streaming data.
Plug-and-play onboarding means no technician visit is required.
System Components
On-field Hardware
- •ESP32 controller
- •DHT11 sensor (temperature / humidity)
- •Soil moisture probe
- •Relay module controlling up to 5 pumps/valves
- •WiFi module + power unit
- •Water pump / solenoid valves
Software Stack
- •Flutter mobile app (farmer + admin console)
- •Firebase Realtime Database for telemetry
- •Firestore for rule + history logs
- •Cloud analytics engine for insights + alerts
Impact
- ▹30–40% water savings through intelligent irrigation.
- ▹15–25% higher crop yield for moisture-sensitive crops.
- ▹Zero manual monitoring; system alerts on anomalies.
- ▹Early detection reduces crop disease and fertilizer loss.
- ▹Ideal for sugarcane, paddy, cotton, horticulture, greenhouse farms, drip systems, and polyhouses.
Future Roadmap
