OREL and J’Pura join hands for IoT based smart farming tech
View(s):The Urban and Aquatic Bioresources Faculty at the Sri Jayewardenepura University has started a research collaboration on the development of Internet of Things (IoT) based smart farming technology with OREL Corporation Pvt Ltd.
They signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently for research collaboration.
Internet of Things (IoT) in urban agriculture was designed as an enabling technology to equip famers and food producers with the knowledge and expertise on utilising urban bio-resources for optimal food production.
The IoT based agriculture system was designed with the capability of real-time monitoring of farmlands. The hallmark of this system was sensor mediated automated monitoring with continuous remote access to monitor field conditions through the IoT Analytics Platform.
This smart farming sensor-based technology would be the next revolution of precision agriculture and would promote sustainable food production, an official from the University said.
This collaborative project was initiated by Dr. Surani Chathurika, a senior lecturer at the Department of Urban Bio-resources, and Dr. Rangika De Silva, Innovations Director at OREL (Pvt.) Ltd.
