A Process Design for Monitoring and Predicting Smart Agriculture with High Accuracy in the Context of Thai Agriculture
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to study and analyze a process for monitoring and predicting smart agriculture with high accuracy and 2) to design a process for monitoring and predicting smart agriculture. The research process consists of 3 steps: 1) Study and data collection, 2) Data analysis, and 3) Research summary. In this research, data was collected from a total of 132 samples of smart agriculture users. They were classified as follows: 88 samples (66.67%) from individual farmers, 15 samples (11.36%) from educational institutions, 13 samples (9.85%) from collaborations between educational institutions and farmers, 11 samples (8.33%) from private companies, and 5 samples (3.97%) from other government agencies. Then, a framework was created for the process of smart agriculture assessment and prediction, which demonstrated high accuracy in the context of Thailand.
The framework consists of three steps: 1) Step input, 2) Step process, and 3) Step output. Then, the framework was used to create guidelines for the implementation of a process for monitoring and predicting smart agriculture in the context of Thailand. This framework represents the components of smart agriculture that integrate agricultural knowledge and technology. It consists of seven components: 1) Environmental data collection and plant growth factors using IoT technology, 2) Cloud computing, 3) Monitoring and Control system, 4) Farm management platform, 5) Model Development, 6) Data analysis system, and 7) Planning system. The results of applying a process for monitoring and predicting smart agriculture in the context of Thailand to create a smart agriculture model using plant growth factor data and machine learning technology with linear regression data analysis technique showed that the model achieved a performance evaluation accuracy of 90%. This indicates a very high level of model accuracy.
