Abstract

Objective
This study combines technology and software to let farmers track and change certain field parameters in real-time. Along with a quick examination of the interplay between weather station monitoring and mobile data logging, it offers a study on Smart Farming (SF) based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things (IoT) will play a pivotal role in the viability of the agriculture sector in the years to come. Highlighting technological, ICT, and robotics advancements, the research centers on multimedia devices, communication procedures, sensors, and systems frequently utilized in SF monitoring. In order support future researchers and provide the groundwork for the creation of automated IoT-based SF monitoring systems that incorporate biotechnology, this article describes the methodologies used in this area. This project aimed to enhance Smart Farming (SF) efficiency through IoT technologies, focusing on methods, processes, and tools for monitoring SF, integrating biotechnology for improved production and sustainability, and highlighting the role of automated processes and robots in IoT-based agricultural solutions.

Results
This study proves that the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more significant in contemporary farming, outperforming conventional farming practices as a result of technological, information and communication technology (ICT), and robotics improvements. Internet of Things (IoT) integration into SF boosts productivity by allowing for condition monitoring and correction in real time. According to the results, sensors and communication systems, in conjunction with IoT technology, allow for the automated and exact administration of agricultural tasks. Data logging systems and multimedia devices work well together to gather and analyze agricultural data, which improves agricultural decision-making and yields better results.

Conclusions
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to change the nature of farming completely by facilitating the development of methods that are more productive, accurate, and environmentally friendly. It is believed that Smart Farming will continue to surpass conventional farming practices in terms of popularity as technology progresses. More efficient and automated farming systems will be the result of the effective integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), biotechnology, and robotics. This research provides important information for future studies on the improvement of SF surveillance through the Internet of Things (IoT). There is great promise for the future of agriculture and higher productivity in the agricultural industry as a whole with the introduction of robotics and automation.
