Cloud Systems Used in Smart Agriculture, the Internet of Things and Uses of Other Technologies and a Smart Agriculture Architectural Proposal

Abstract

Agriculture has been important all over the world since the first days of humanity. The development of agriculture is proportional to the development of humanity. Today, people have reached the point they have reached in technology with agriculture. Today, the use of technology with different topics is effective in ensuring the development of agriculture. The concept of smart agriculture was born from here. The hardware and software used today provide convenience to manufacturers, production increases and businesses gain more profit. For this purpose, cloud systems, internet of things, artificial intelligence applications and many other technologies are used. In this study, it is focused on designing applications that can be used in smart agriculture in the light of current technologies, especially cloud systems and internet of things for producers. In addition, studies on smart agriculture in the literature were analysed by using the document analysis method. It has been determined that the studies on smart agriculture in the literature are similar. According to the research findings, applications related to smart agriculture aim to enable producers to obtain products with less cost. It can be suggested that manufacturers and experts working in the field of informatics work together to achieve this.

Dynamic evaluation of a post-pandemic agricultural traceability system, based on the HFLTS-DEMATEL method

“…(2017) have designed a model for a third-party traceability platform that provides traceability data to consumers safely and reliably, via testing carried out by independent authorities under government supervision. Çağatay Baz (2022) has designed traceability-system applications that can be used in smart agriculture to reduce the cost to manufacturers of access to agricultural products.…”

“…In addition, the problems highlighted in the COVID-19 pandemic era create more complex requirements for the technical construction of the traceability system. When there is a sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in a certain place, some counterfeit enterprises deliberately replace and tamper with quality- and safety-information data in order to sell expired agricultural products quickly; this reduces the credibility of the agricultural-product IOT traceability system as a whole (Gao et al ., 2020; Li et al ., 2021; Çağatay Baz, 2022). Therefore, based on IOT technology, it is essential to guarantee the stability and accuracy of data-sharing between platforms and databases, while also supporting the construction of relevant platforms.…”

“…The current research focuses mainly on the construction of agricultural traceability systems based on IOT technologies, paying more attention to the technical and design aspects of traceability systems (Li et al ., 2021; Yadav et al ., 2021; Çağatay Baz, 2022) and ways of implementing complete systems – from development to market-end application – based on existing technologies. Only a few studies consider ways to evaluate agricultural IOT traceability systems from a management perspective (Yadav et al ., 2021), or ask whether such systems can adequately account for the problems encountered during each key aspect of the traceability process or truly reflect the needs and rights of consumers.…”
