  • Development of a Low-Cost, Power-Efficient Smart Farming Framework using LoRa and IoT
    Atthikumaran N, Suvain K K, Mohanraj K, Babu K, Vinoth R, Prabagaran D, Girimurugan R
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Industrial agriculture is embracing the idea of "smart farming" in response to the rising demands for food throughout the world and the difficulties inherent in traditional agricultural practices. The agri-food supply chain can benefit substantially from smart farming systems' increased efficiency, safety, and productivity because to their high degree of automation and real-time control. This study introduces a tailored smart farming system that utilizes a LoRa and Internet of Things (IoT) based wide-area wireless sensor network that is inexpensive, power-efficient, and has a long range. Existing Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) often used in industry and agriculture are connected with LoRa connection in this system. Through Simatic IOT2040, PLCs regulate, control the processes and devices. Agricultural machinery and environmental data can be tracked and managed remotely using this web-based solution. The conversations were automated with users of this messaging service by using the bundled Telegram bot. We have tested the suggested network structure and evaluated the route loss in the wireless LoRa.

    Journal of Environmental Nanotechnology, 2024
    The utilization of Tanner’s Cassia waste (T) and African Wonder tree waste (A) in the biomass production chain presents an opportunity for generating value-added products and enhancing productivity. Incinerating these wastes can pose environmental challenges; however, transforming them into briquettes offers a sustainable approach to produce high-energy fuel. This study investigated various mixtures of Tanner’s Cassia and African Wonder Tree waste, denoted as TA1 (0:100), TA2 (25:75), TA3 (50:50), TA4 (75:25), and TA5 (100:0), with the addition of 20% nano kaolin as a binder. The resulting briquettes underwent thorough analysis including physical, SEM and elemental analysis. The density of the TA briquettes ranged from 836.38 to 1105. 57 kg/m3. Key metrics evaluated include ash content, moisture content, volatile content, and fixed carbon content. The results for TA1 (0:100) are 11.22% ash, 5.73% moisture, 69.39% volatile, and 13.66% fixed carbon, while for TA5 (100:0), they are 14.17% ash, 9.87% moisture, 58.07% volatile, and 17.89% fixed carbon, showing a trend of increasing ash and fixed carbon content and decreasing moisture and volatile content across the samples. The SEM analysis of the briquettes reveals distinct characteristics for each mix ratio. Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis indicated carbon and oxygen as the major elements, with 54.48 wt.% and 37.92 wt.%, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of TA briquettes with a 20% nano kaolin binder as a viable alternative energy source due to their low moisture and ash content, coupled with a high calorific value.
