“…A dust-and water-proof casing of the Field Server, equipped also with a forced-draft pipe and electric fan, allows precise monitoring of air temperature and humidity. Field Servers are controlled by a management program called an Agent System [4], which collects monitoring data automatically at a remote site via the Internet. The Agent System with intelligent processing can perform complicated operations to Field Servers autonomously according to user requirements, and can also perform a wide range of data analyses flexibly by accessing Web application services with data processing.…”

“…One of the key technologies in field monitoring is a sensor network system constructed of many sensor nodes made up of small sensor units with radio data links [1,2]. In our previous studies, we have proposed a "Field Server": namely, a Web-based sensor network system for agricultural use [3,4]. Field Servers can monitor farm information, including field environment, crop growth condition, and farm operations more effectively than conventional sensor networks.…”

In previous works, we have proposed a Web-based sensor network system or "Field Server" for agricultural use that has a monitoring module with a Web server, a wireless communication module to the Internet, and a camera module for image monitoring. In this paper, we have focused on providing effective, individualized and practical monitoring to provide the information farmers need, and developed an Open Field Server that enables easy and flexible monitoring of various types of agricultural fields and contexts. Then, we deployed the Open Field Server in five different practical agricultural applications: weather monitoring for growth prediction, insect counting for pest damage forecasting, crop growth monitoring with image data, wild animal surveillance, and farm operation recognition. Through these monitoring experiments, we demonstrated the potential and effectiveness of the system in a wide variety of practical agricultural applications while our experience has pointed to areas in which the system could be further refined to achieve advanced monitoring in a wide variety of situations.

The paper presents an agricultural monitoring system developed for Thailand. Various species of plants have been directly observed from the agricultural fields which mainly consist of economic crops of Thailand such as rice, cassava, rubber, sugar cane, corn, etc. An equipment used to obtain the data is called field server, which has been installed at the observed field for a long period. The collected data is separated to two parts: daily images (acquired twice per day) and weather information (recorded every five minutes). The weather information is as follows: temperature, rain volume, light density, humidity, soil moisture, wind speed and direction. Since the beginning of 2014, twenty-four field servers have been deployed in every region of Thailand. The data from the field servers is uploaded to a central server. Users can access and obtain the data via a web browser. Given the images and weather information (temperature and soil moisture), the data recorded from paddy fields is preliminarily analyzed as a guideline for further development.

“…The environmental sensor node must work in real time and be adaptable to changes in the installation locations and conditions (Fukatsu et al 2006, Moga et al 2012). Low power consumption, low cost, robustness, and being extendable are also desirable to improve performance (Song et al 2011).…”

The monitoring node is one of the most important system components in the remote and automatic measurement of environmental information. Simplicity, flexibility, and affordability are critical in agricultural applications. The objective of this study was to design and develop a low-cost and robust remote environmental monitoring node based on a microcontroller board with a wireless communication module and an over-the-air (OTA) update function for flexible node management. The monitoring system consists of a cloud-based global management subsystem and a local management subsystem for each monitoring node. The node was developed using the Particle Core, reprogrammable Wi-Fi development kit, which fulfills the requirements for monitoring node mentioned above. The performance evaluation of the stability and the OTA update function were conducted under two network conditions: (1) high-speed network and (2) regular mobile 3G-network as actual application setup. The stability and availability test observed over 95% of the "timely measurements", a completed measurement within the specified time interval, 99.86% for the condition 1 under high-quality network, and 95.02% for the condition 2. The OTA firmware update process was completed in approximately 60 s. We concluded that the developed environmental monitoring node based on a low-cost microcontroller having internal Wi-Fi module and OTA update function has the potential to increase the simplicity, flexibility, and affordability of remote environmental monitoring node in agricultural applications.
