Chapter Chapter 3 in Innovation in Agriculture with IoT and AI, 2022, pp 29-52 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with the problems associated with ergonomic risks as well as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among the farmers along with possible measures through the application of “Internet of Things (IoT)” in agricultural machinery. With an in-depth review of literature with regard to the existing cultivation practices and the benefits of IoT utilization in agricultural sectors in the developing as well as under-developed countries, the “strength, weaknesses, opportunities as well as threats (SWOT)” analysis was used for evaluating the benefits of utilizing IoT in agriculture by considering two cases such as the “conventional agriculture-based machinery” and the “IoT-based agricultural machinery”. Further, in view of the requirements of small-scale farmers, an IoT-based agricultural machinery was proposed and its performance was evaluated with respect to field applications.
