Agriculture serves as the backbone of global food production, yet it faces multifaceted challenges ranging from environmental pressures to resource constraints and fluctuating market demands. Traditional farming practices often rely on manual labor and subjective decision-making processes, resulting in inefficiencies, yield losses, and environmental degradation. In recent years, the advent of smart agriculture technologies has opened avenues for innovation, offering potential solutions to address these challenges.

Smart agriculture encompasses the integration of advanced technologies, data analytics, and automation into agricultural practices, with the aim of optimizing resource usage, enhancing productivity, and promoting sustainability. However, the effective implementation of smart agriculture requires robust monitoring systems capable of capturing and analyzing vast amounts of data in real-time.

The present invention arises from the recognition of the need for an automated monitoring system tailored to the specific requirements of agriculture. Traditional monitoring methods often suffer from limitations such as labor intensiveness, inconsistent data quality, and delayed decision-making.
