• IoT enables branchless banking services which
is beneficial to rural farmers who have no
access to banks within a reasonable distance.
Drones in Agriculture
Prerequisites for designing IoT
models
1. Robust Models: The characteristic
features of agriculture sector such as
diversity, complexity spatio-temporal
variability, and uncertainties have to be
considered in developing the right kinds
of products and services.
2. Scalability: The size of farms varies
from small to large, and hence the
solutions should be scalable. The
architecture should be able to scale up
incrementally with less overheads.
3.Affordability: Affordability is the key
to success. The cost has to be
appropriate with substantial benefits.
Standardized platforms, tools, products
and services can bring the cost down
with increased volumes.
