Abstract
In the recent past, global communication, and information technology have shown a vast development in various sectors. Internet of Things (IoT) is an evolving communication technology, which communicates with people and physical things and even between things themselves. The researchers are developing an IoT based applications for different sectors like manufacturing, service sectors, oil and refinery, pharma sector, etc. In this paper, an IoT based collaboration framework for the agricultural sector (IoT–Agro) in particular for the sugar cane industry was proposed. The proposed collaboration model will facilitates to develop a live communication platform between the decision maker's viz. farmers, mills, and governments. The proposed framework will be adequate to best control and monitor the growth environment of sugar cane, achieve a high and stable yield of sugar cane, improve the productivity of land, monitor the pesticide level in the crop, water level, soil moisture and control the cultivation wastages, etc. This model facilitates the decision-makers to visualize the production status of the farm field at any time and make decisions quickly for instant changes required in the farm field.
