The ZigBee which was adopted low-power wireless communication technology was used to design a multi-parameters monitoring system according to agricultural monitoring characteristics. Following the design concepts of generalization and modularization, the sensors and functional modules could be combined configuration, thus the system was versatility, flexible and convenient. Low-power communication protocol and solar charging technology were adopted to extend the life of power supply. This system could be widely used for automatic monitoring in facility agriculture and other agricultural places.

Cage culture is one of the major forms of aquaculture now. For ensuring the product quality, it is necessary that the status of water environment is estimated. Aiming at the issues of high cost and the difficulty of arrangement cables, intelligent remote monitoring system based on wireless communication technology is developing, and wireless remote program update technology is brought in for adapting to different aquatic products. The system has advantage of wiring easily and networking conveniently, and has wide market prospects.

With the development of wireless communication technology and mechanical technology, the combination application of the two technologies to agricultural production has become the inevitable trend of agricultural development. Using Nx5883 wireless remote control terminal, a greenhouse environment monitoring system based on GPRS has been designed. It introduces the composition of hardware and working process of the system. The system can monitor the change of temperature and humidity in environment and soil, soil’s PH, and illumination timely. It transmits the signals and dates to the data terminal though wireless network, then the terminal can make the corresponding feedback. This system can real-time monitor and control the greenhouse environment.

Although the number of Internet of Things devices increases every year, efforts to decrease hardware energy demands and to improve efficiencies of the energy-harvesting stages have reached an ultra-low power level. However, no current standard of wireless communication protocol (WCP) can fully address those scenarios. Our focus in this paper is to introduce treNch, a novel WCP implementing the cross-layer principle to use the power input for adapting its operation in a dynamic manner that goes from pure best-effort to nearly real time. Together with the energy-management algorithm, it operates with asynchronous transmissions, synchronous and optional receptions, short frame sizes and a light architecture that gives control to the nodes. These features make treNch an optimal option for wireless sensor networks with ultra-low power demands and severe energy fluctuations. We demonstrate through a comparison with different modes of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) a decrease of the power consumption in 1 to 2 orders of magnitude for different scenarios at equal quality of service. Moreover, we propose some security optimizations, such as shorter over-the-air counters, to reduce the packet overhead without decreasing the security level. Finally, we discuss other features aside of the energy needs, such as latency, reliability or topology, brought again against BLE.


Advent of electric power revolutionized the life of a civilized human. From the early dated discoveries of Nikola Tesla, Alessandro Volta to the latest applications of electricity has made it indispensable for our daily life. The wide-ranging applications of power have made ease of living. From greenland to brownland we are dealt with the utilization of the electricity. Power generation, transmission, distribution, and efficient utilization promote the progress of a nation. Power crisis which has been abating. India suffers large deficits which need to be overcome at the earliest. We see a lot of power outages and most of the time we never know the reason behind it. Even in the 21st century, the digital age, we should not be facing this problem. One of the reasons behind the shortfall of a proper power supply is the inefficient power monitoring ensued by breakdowns, repairs and maintenance work of power plants, transformers, and transmission lines. This project is designed as the one-time solution to monitor the outages in real time without the requirement of a meatware. A power monitoring system automatically analyzes and retrieves the power quality events. The monitoring system comprises of smart grids and a centralized workstation. Smart grids contribute towards sending data of power supply status to the workstation continuously. Based on the status drawn by the grids the workstations analyze the data and intimate the electricity boards about the power outages. Thus elimination of manual summoning the designated authorities by automatic monitoring acts as the core of the proposed project. The automatic switching to an alternative resource is done by the automatic phase selector. The smart grids also promote to increase efficiency and energy conservation. The gravity of the paper is power monitoring and shift to a secondary power resource in the absence of the primary. Power monitoring acts as a preventive measure to recover the huge deficits suffered by the power crisis.

In this study we have developed an automatic monitoring system based on wireless communication networks in both dairy and pig farms to replace traditional manual data collection of the environmental conditions and manual controls of fans and water control valves in livestock farms to solve the man-power shortage problem for livestock farming. Firstly, sensors for detecting temperature, humidity, illumination, wind speed and the control circuit and communication system were installed. The monitoring programs were subsequently designed to transmit the data back to the user interface display of the office through RFU-400 wireless communication modules, and the data collected from the farm environment have been stored in a database for data analysis. Finally, the fans and water spray valves have been automatically activated duly to improve the temperature and humidity of the livestock farms. We analyzed the data collected from the sensors with regard to the lactation yields for dairy cows, and suggested optimized environmental parameters for dairy cows to increase their appetite and lactation yield, or increase the feed conversion rate of the pigs. We expect the process and results of this study can result in helpful reference to livestock farming, and help to achieve the best economic benefits in raising cattle, pigs and so forth.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop identification system for fiber optic connectors in passive distribution cabinets. The system should have alternative power supply and wireless communication unlike the identification systems commercially available, which will make the system fully autonomous. Design/methodology/approach Detailed project and realization of real demonstrator of fully autonomous identification system. After the realization of the demonstrator, its optimization was performed. Findings It is possible to build fully autonomous identification system which requires 15.6 mJ energy to perform one cycle of identification process. Moreover, it is possible to use the alternative power method to supply this system. Originality/value Fully autonomous identification system of fiber optic connectors with alternative power supply and wireless communication.
