Abstract:
Agriculture industry as the world’s largest water consumer is facing crisis in this past decades as the climate change makes weather unpredictable, competition with real-estate sector over water and land usage, as well as decrease of manual labors caused the lost interest in younger generation to continue working in this field. This thesis proposed a system that can help with modernization in agriculture industries. The automatic watering system is a perfect solution because it does not need much attention from the user except during maintenance. This system consists of the following parts: the prototype of the automatic watering system using Arduino, web client that allows the user to control and monitor the prototype, and the database to save the prototype settings and the watering information. The automatic watering system will keep send data to the web client and the database as long as there is sufficient internet connection nearby.
