Field monitoring system using Agri-Server

In the realm of agriculture, it is important to easily be able to monitor the natural environment and the growth of crops. Stable measurement over a long period of time and wide area is also important. Agri-Server is one approach to this. Agri-Server is a piece of equipment equipped with sensors to measure the natural environment such as meteorological data and soil data. It also has server and wireless communication functions and network camera connectability for image acquisition. In this paper we report on the construction of field monitoring systems using Agri-Server in the Shonai region as well as a miniaturized prototype.
