VR Application in Agriculture

It is not an easy task to train farmers, especially when they are unskilled workers, and modern equipment is not cheap. To avoid malfunction or injury of the workers, farmers nowadays use virtual training (VR) as their source.

VR training will help the workers get complex training and even cost less. VR also helps the workers to work out certain scenarios in a gaming mode and train their skills for automation. After VR training, workers can easily start working with real technology.

Virtual agricultural technology plays an important role in the agricultural realm and modernization. Computer science and IT both go side by side, playing an important role in the development of agriculture. The combination of agriculture science with IT and VR has led agriculture to explore new ways of applying agriculture and studying.

The concept of virtual agriculture has provided a new range of agriculture development. The architecture of virtual crops is analyzed and studied, by building a model of virtual crops using three- dimensional techniques. The techniques of three- dimensional help to improve agricultural modernization and the applications of VR.

  • VR in the Agriculture sector

Virtual Reality recreates a real working environment, which refers to the implementation of specific substances by the computer, in the virtual emissions and soil absorption. It also gives an idea of the migration process, plant, and animal growth process, and so on. The employees are provided with different scenarios and receive a certain sum of points on the completion of the scenario.

After the scenario is completed, the points are summed up and the employees are provided with a qualification certificate. If you think your first try was not good, then you can always “replay” and give it a new try.

  • Virtual Planting:

Designing a virtual plant on the computer screen, helps to know about the life cycle of plants and crops, it also saves time, money, and manpower. The implementation of the crop of the dynamic growth process is known in your computer. It helps to obtain various dynamic data that includes modern equipment. The visualization of the crops provides different methods and means to structure and research on crop ecology and physiology. The research for the plants part and root portion is also studied with the help of virtual planting.  

  • Virtual Application in teaching and agriculture popularization:

The multimedia and interactive virtual application technology combines creativity and effectiveness to help educate the farmers about the growing condition of the crop from every angle. By just moving a mouse and key farmers can experience to hear, see, and control the crop growth and condition, which is better than the traditional way.

Farmers also include the experience of changing environment and crop cultivation process of the virtual crops and planting. The technology promotion helps the farmers understand and grasp advanced agriculture land management techniques so that the process of teaching becomes easier and intuitive, with vivid images, those help in effective teaching and increases the learning interest.

Overall virtual agriculture helps to improve the efficiency of using an efficient amount of agriculture resources, which stimulates agricultural product market transaction and agricultural production management, which can realize the technical and agriculture training, education, research, etc.

Virtual agriculture opens huge possibilities for business by automating the agriculture process and showing the farmers virtually an interactive way of how farming can be operated and conducted.

IoT Application in Agriculture

We all know the base for agriculture is soil. The soil provides different types of nutrients that help the crop to grow.

Different physical and chemical properties affect the soil, like temperature, pH, and moisture, which affects the yield of a crop heavily. The most difficult task for the farmers is to collect real-time data of these chemical and physical properties. Soil Health Card in India is initiated by the Govt of India which informs the farmer about its soil property on 12 parameters.

But this process even though with the fast-track method takes a minimum of 30 days period from collecting soil to a lab to report. If the soil sample is taken from a remote area, that cycle increase to 45-60 days.

Do you think a person should still rely on old methods for farming?

No, even farming has adopted numerous amounts of technologies in the last decade, becoming more technology-driven and industrialized. Using various smart gadgets for agriculture, farmers have made their work easier, efficient by growing better crops and control the raising of livestock.

The growing technology has helped the agriculture industry adopt AR, VR, and the Internet of Things (IoT). They have penetrated our life, from home automation, smart cities, health and fitness, industrial IoT, and automotive and logistics. 

Did you know in 2021, the market for IoT in agriculture has increased and reached almost $5.6 billion?

So, if you are planning to build an IoT solution for agriculture and considering investing in smart farming, then you have come to the right place to dive in and know more about IoT applications in Agriculture.

  • What is Smart Agriculture (AgriTech)?

Technology in agriculture is generally referred to as AgriTech, whereas on the other hand Smart Agriculture is used to denote IoT solutions in agriculture.

So, what is smart agriculture using IoT?

During Agriculture, IoT sensors help in collecting machine metrics and environmental information, where farmers are helped to make an informative decision, to improve every aspect of their work- from crop farming to livestock.

For example, Smart farming using their gadgets to monitor the state of the crops, farmers can exactly decide the amount of fertilizer and pesticide needed to improve the efficiency of their crops.

  • Market size of Smart Farming:

Although Smart farming is not so famous to the consumers yet, COVID-19 has constantly helped smart agriculture grow. As there’s a shortage of qualified workers and a disrupted supply chain, BI Intelligence predicted installation of IoT will increase in 2021, to 75 million.

The global market size of smart farming is expected to reach $15.3 billion, which is slightly over $5 billion in 2016 and triple by 2025.      

As smart agriculture market is developing, business for building IoT products has an ample opportunity to join in. The coming year can help these businesses be an early adopter and help pave the way to success.

  • Benefits of Smart farming in farming:

5 ways IoT improves agriculture production:

  • Better volume and product quality: The production process is controlled in a better way and maintains crops high quality and the growth capacity increases.
  • Thousands of data collected by IoT sensors: Farmers have a tough time collecting data, but with the help of IoT sensors, data of soil quality, weather condition, cattle’s health, and crop growth are collected easily. These data are helped to track the state of the business and increase the equipped efficiency, staff performance, and many more.
  • Increased efficiency of the business through automation: Smart devices help to automate multiple processes of the production cycle, e.g., pest control, fertilization, and irrigation.
  • Control over internal process results in lower production risk: The output of production helps to plan for better product distribution. The exact number of crops harvesting helps in selling the product easily, and the product will not lie unsold.
  • Helps in waste reduction and cost management: Control over the product helps in the reduction of waste and cost. When you can check glitches in the livestock and crop growth, mitigation becomes easy, which reduces the risk of losing crops and livestock.

These factors will help to increase revenue.

Racketail deployed IoT based Soil Monitoring system in Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology (MPUAT), Udaipur, a real-time Solar-powered Soil health parameter system. This system comprises a Soil Sensor that measures the value of pH, Salinity, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Temperature, Moisture, and NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium). This system helps researchers to analyze Lab Test of Soil and Real-Time value. The system is designed to read data every hour and using GPS Network sends the data over IOT Gateway to Cloud. The researcher even has a Mobile App to monitor these values along with the website.  This will help the scientist to study more data points of soil parameters.

More than that, Scientists can study the relationship between the Soil Microbes and Pest concerning these 7 Parameters; which can help them to understand the soil in-depth and help in artificially modifying the Soil for better yield and production.

Not all front-end development platforms are user friendly and easy to use. But there is one hero as a front-end developer which’s known as “React JS”. React is the famous and most widely libraries for front end development, though it is not a framework.

React the main function is to “view” the MVC modular model, which is built by reusable components. The developers can utilize the components and create large web applications. They can display the data of reusable components without reloading the page every time, even if new data added. The best example for React is Facebook. The number of likes can increase and decrease without refreshing the page.

What is ReactJS?

ReactJS a famous JavaScript library. Its built and maintained by Facebook. React is a declarative, flexible open-source, and efficient JavaScript library for building, scalable, fast, and simple front ends of web applications. Though React is a front-end technology, it’s still used by some backend developers to build a desktop app.

Benefits of using ReactJS:

There are tons of benefits of ReactJS. Some of the key benefits of ReactJS:

ReactJS is one of the easiest and fastest learning libraries. The fast you learn , quicker we began to build in React.

It’s not only the YouTube tutorials that are easy to learn, but the libraries are also remarkably simple to learn. It’s not like front-end tools like Angular which is tough to learn. Learning becomes easier especially when you have great JavaScript skills.

  • Quick Render with Virtual DOM:

A web application involves high user interaction and updates which are highly considered during the performance. Though JavaScript engines are being fast nowadays, DOM manipulation is lagging.

The benefit of Virtual DOM is it updates efficiently, which reduces write/read time, which enhances ReactJS performance.

  • Trusted by brilliant companies:

React is used by some famous companies like Netflix, Airbnb, Facebook, IMDb, etc., and many other applications that use ReactJS as front-end development.

Do you know why ReactJS technology used in so many companies?

That’s because ReactJS is a high-quality front-end tool. You don’t need to consider a lot using React as bigger and trusted companies like PayPal and Facebook use them.

  • Code Stability:

If you are adding code in the parent structure, the parent structure doesn’t get affected. Only child modification takes place.

So, if a developer is changing the object, they need to change the state and make proper amendments. This is the proper way the components update will take place.

The data structure and flow, with no disturbances, provides smooth performance and better stability.

  • Strong community support:

One of the main reasons companies using React as their front-end development is because of its strong community support. The community of developers is helping the React community to be better, by adding open-source code and libraries from different aspects of the world and helping people learn those techniques.

  • Faster Development:

It increases productivity using development tools and reusable components. As productivity increases and is an important aspect while developing, there are chances of earning more money in a lesser amount of time, which is a common goal of startups and companies.

Using any other platform can be time-consuming and lose an enormous amount of money. If products delivered quickly, it earns quick cash with impressive feedback.

Difference between Android and iOS Development

Mobile phone users in 2019 were about 5.11 billion in the world, making app development is at a peak. Which expected to increase by 2023 to 7 billion users? In which the users will spend an average of 2 hours and 51 minutes on their phones, every single day.

In 2019 users of the Android platform are 86.1% and iOS users are 13.9% whereas the rest are the smaller operating system of the global market in 2019.  These statistics are undeniable and increase as per the demand for app development.

Market share is not the only that matters, but many other factors help you choose the platform. As both the platform has its disadvantage and advantage. For your reference, we have compiled some cons and pros of iOS and Android development.

Android Development:

Android is one of the leading operating systems in the world. The easy usage, affordability, and accessibility has made this operating system more popular and has facilitated the growth and reach.

Pros:

  • Flexibility:  Android is open-source software that provides low barriers to developers for entry. The software allows developers to play with various plugins and crowdsourcing framework, that provides different function and features.
  • Release:  Compare to iOS publishing apps in Google play is easier and faster. After uploading the app Android Package (APK) only takes a few hours to make the app live.
  • Fragmentation:  Some of them may consider fragmentation as one of the disadvantages, but for the android app it’s an advantage. As it helps Android app developers to create a wide range of hardware like TVs, in-car systems, wearables, and many more.
  • Design:  Google provides guidelines to develop apps for android phones. With the help of those designs, you can create an astatically appealing layout and excellent user interface, even if you don’t have any experience.

Cons:

  • Testing:  There are multiple devices and versions of Android, so QA specialists take more time for a thorough test on all the models.
  • Cost:  Costing depends upon the app’s complexity. But because of fragmentation, it requires an enormous amount of testing, it may cost more to develop in an android platform.
  • Fragmentation: Multiple devices have different resolutions and screen size that needs to be taken care of while launching the app. This makes it challenging for the UI developer to design the app.
Android developer vs iOS developer

iOS Development:

iOS developed by apple, to specially work on their Apple device. These iOS developers use source code like XCode IDE, iOS SDK, Swift Playgrounds, and TestFlight. The team of developers might use objective -C and Swift. iOS as a closed code has a low probability of getting hacked.

Pros:

  • Integration with device: The number of the iOS device is less than the Android devices, which has different systems and rules. This makes the iOS device less fragmentation, resolution, and screen size are also less, which makes the development quicker and simpler.
  • Performance: iOS platform is more stable and easier to use. The closed platform allows its developers to create software and hardware by implementing strict guidelines. As a result, the platform turns out to be flexible, responsive, and easy to build.
  • Intuitive UI/ UX: The benefits of iOS developers can’t be ignored. Apple has a detailed design guide for the app, to help the developers provide an exceptional user interface. iOS provides a robust combination of hardware and software, followed by a maintenance app cycle. That is the reason every app in the Apple store runs flawlessly.

Cons:

  • Customization: The customization of an iOS app is tough, because of a variety of constraints enforced. This can affect the app’s popularity. Even though their built-in frameworks the developers can use which to facilitate the development process. Many of the frameworks are licensed which increases the cost.
  • App Release: The guidelines provided by the app store are very rigid, because of which many of the apps might get rejected, because of poor performance, vulnerability, or lack of useful content. Besides that, the app must be submitted for review, which takes time. 
  • Expensive: The XCode is only used by iOS developers on Macs, which initially increases the investment before starting the development.

Wrapping Up:

Clearly, there is no evident winner from both the platforms. You are the one who needs to consider time, budget, business ideas, and many others while developing the app. Do remember to keep aside your personal preference and decide which is more efficient for your project.

While developing the app consider hiring a reliable and experienced development company like Racketail. Racketail makes projects which are pleasant and fruitful. The projects delivered on time and they have efficient solution operating across every device those uses popular platforms of Android and iOS. You can reach out to us at contact@racketail.com

Variations of Website and Mobile App Development

Human being has the misconception of mobile app and website development is the same thing, but the truth is these two differ from each other.

Not only it’s developed, but also deployed and made for the user differently.

A mobile app is developed for mobile phones; it’s either iPhone or Android phones or tablets. If you think making a mobile app is as easy as it sounds, then you are wrong. There are many platforms that must be taken into consideration while building a mobile app.

Website development is the building of web applications and pages for the explorers. These websites are also a built-in variety of platforms like CSS, HTML, Python, and many more, where the developers focus on front-end development, backend development, or full-stack development.

Now let’s have a look at what is the fundamental difference between mobile app development and website development.

We know a mobile app is developed for platforms like iPhone, Android, or Tablets. The apps are downloaded and installed from the app store inbuilt in the phone and have access to the system resources like the Camera or GPS. Mobile apps are installed directly on the device as they are downloaded on the existing device. Some famous examples of Mobile apps are Snapchat, Instagram, and many more.

On the other hand, website development is developed for internet browsers and is built on a famous platform like JavaScript, HTML, and others. These developers either spend their time working on the front end, that is the “web page”, on the backend is with the ”server and database” or works with both the front end or front end called “full-stack developer”.
