What&is&IoT?&
Nowadays,&one&of&the&hot&issues&in&computer&
science&and&engineering&field&is&an&IoT(internet&of&
things).&The&IoT&means&that&things&connect&to&
Internet&(also&the&things&have&own&IP&address).&
The&IoT&is&expected&to&be&easy&to&apply&in&many&

For farmer, It is helpful ..."
• To grow uncommon crops because it change the farming process to be
easy by automating the control of temperature and humidity. So, we
expected this result brings the increase of the quantity of production."
• To sell the crops to consumer directly because this devices enroll crops to
the online market automatically. So, we expected this result brings the
more income to the farmer."
For consumer, It is helpful ..."
• To confirm the crops that they eat is fresh because they can see the all
process by logging in application that let them see these steps through
real-time camera."
1. Planting – from seed status to planting"
2. Harvesting – from grown crops status to method of harvesting"
3. Processing – can believe the process is clean and safe"
4. Transfering – can make certain of honesty packaging and shipping"
