Field Server System Using Solar Energy Based on Wireless Sensor

Summary

In agriculture and livestock industry, environments, like temperature, humidity, CO2, and water supply, are important factors which decide on a growth speed, an output, taste, and etc. If you monitor and manage the above environments efficiently, you can get good results in products. For monitoring and managing the environments, this paper proposes a Ubiquitous Field Server System (UFSS) on wireless sensor networks. Also this system uses solar energy. The UFSS can monitor and collect the information of field environments and the system’s location using the environment and soil sensors, CCTV camera, GPS (Global Positioning System) module, and solar cell module without restriction of the power supply and the system’s location. This system composes of three layers. The devices layer includes sensors, GPS, CCTV camera, and solar cell. The middle layer consists of the soil manager, the location manager, the motion manager, the information storage, and the web server. The application layer provides with the soil and environments monitoring service, the location monitoring service, the motion monitoring service, and statistics service. Finally, we apply the each layer’s modules to the UFSS, and show the executing results of our system using GUIs.
