IoT-based Monitoring and Management Approach for Smart Infrastructures
This gap has been calculated obtaining a reduction of 18.28%
of the consumed energy proving the benefit of using our platform
based on IoT.
Regarding the agricultural scenario, our platform is able to
gather the information transmitted wirelessly by the sensors
deployed in the field crop. Actually, the following graphs corresponding
to Figure 8 shows the information related to humidity
and conductivity measured by the deployed sensors.
This information has been analyzed by agronomic engineers
to estimate the amount of water needed to irrigate the field
crop in order to make a more efficient irrigation process by
using, in a next iteration, this platform wasting the minimum
amount of water as well as obtaining the highest quality in
the barley planted.
These two heterogeneous scenarios proved the success of
the platform based on IoT by OdinS, as well as its communication
model being a suited platform for managing and
monitoring smart infrastructures.
