This is my dream product where I have developed the product from PCB design to complete product under the guidance of Prof. N S Raghuwanshi and Prof. Sudip Misra. This system has been running since December 2014 at IIT Kharagpur and Benapur agriculture field. This is the subproject of Sustainable Food Security through Technological Interventions for Production, Processing, and Logistics project.
Contribution:
In brief, contributions to this project are as follows:
(1) Design a low-cost and energy-efficient wireless sensor node
(2) Design a low-cost and robust water-level sensor
(3) Automated water management system using wireless sensor network
(4) Remote monitoring and controlling
(5) Farmer-friendly interface
Significance and Impact:
This invention has a major significance and impact on our society as well as the country. In India, farmers use a manual procedure for managing water in irrigated crop fields. Therefore, they visit their respective field for collecting data regularly. Based on the data, they manually actuate the pump. In practice, it is not feasible to activate the pump at right time causing crop stress and ultimately reduction in crop yield. This improves improved quality and quantity of crops.
The proposed invention, AgriSens, is a webserver-based platform for water monitoring and controlling of irrigated fields using an automated real-time system based on WSN. AgriSens is usable in agricultural fields with heterogeneous crops. AgriSens offers a farmer-friendly interface so that a farmer can feel the actual field situation and can take the proper decision confidently. In the system, the end-users as farmers are completely abstracted from the underlying logic for processing, retrieving, and provisioning. As the system cost is low, the farmers can use this innovative technology in their fields to increase productivity as well as to protect the environment. The primary advantage of AgriSensis that, unlike the existing traditional WSNs, it enables the farmers to enjoy the service without going to the field remotely.

The designed node is energy-efficient and more flexible with respect to supporting multiple functionalities of the sensor node. The node is designed in such a way that it can support multiple sensors, actuators, and wireless protocols concurrently without changing the main components of the node. This is not a dedicated device in terms of functionalities of different devices such as sensor nodes, routers, and gateways in wireless sensor networks. Users can use the node as a sensor node, router, and gateway by changing the firmware of the node. As the node is programmable, there is no problem to change the firmware of the node. The node is flexible, robust, and reliable.
