1. Introduction
Contempo Geoponic Contempo means latest and Geoponic means agriculture
science, means the agriculture field with latest technology. The Green box is
designed to have a better control over the whole growing procedure. The core idea of
the project is to implement an intelligent and smart agriculture field area which grow
all sort of plants, with less user interaction as possible. IOT based project can leads us
to another revolution regarding to agricultural field. Agricultural area is developing
with three major revolutions, but digitalization is more effective then all of others.

Its extraordinary feature is to make your farm smart and intelligent through a little use
of IOT and image processing to save time, save human resource and to get good
results in reduce efforts. This system will be a helping hand for the farmers by
providing them the information about the crops requirements and necessities. It also
provides prevention from creatures or animals/ birds using continuous ultrasonic wave
for a short period of time.

1.1 Document Purpose

The purpose regarding to this projects are really considerable with all the parameters
such as Economy of country, population, developing technologies, etc. Here are
described some purpose that how this project can handle real time issues and why
agriculture related project is chosen as well.
1. Eco-friendly:
The core circuit of the project contains only sensors and the Arduino controller, which
are not harm the environment at all. The ultrasonic wave generator only audible to
animals, birds and other creatures. They feel it as a noise of sounds for a while, but
not harm intentionally. It generates positive effect on plants growth.
2. Automation & Digitalization:
Automation is already done in this field with high-tech machinery such as harvester
and many more, though it is developing area digitalization is in process . It reduces

3. Less work & more benefit:
Automation and digitalization reduces the work as possible. The present data mining
techniques, provides better and ideal solution as the environment. It is more beneficial
to tune with nature and produce the qualitative food.
4. To overcome demands: (increase productivity)
Now-a-days we can produce food in large quantity but these are not qualitative. Using
such type of fertilizer, insecticides, pesticides in proper amount, to make your land
more and more productive and that's why we can overcome the demands of today's
generation.

1.2 Product Scope

Contempo Geoponic Greenbox will use Arduino sensors to detect temperature, water,
fertilizer, type of soil requirements of a crop. Then by performing data mining on the

3.2 Functional Requirements

1. Measurement of parameters:
Measuring of all the parameters such as temperature, moisture, PH level, etc. in
farmland is necessary to predict the next crop selection by using the various sensors.
They provides current scenario of the farmland.
2. Fetching of Data:
Sensors are measuring the parameters and those parameters should have to fetch for
further process like data mining. Measuring and Fetching data are the basics
functional requirements of this system.
3. Manipulation of Data:
After gathering data, manipulation is done with use of provided database and the
current data. They are mined for generating the ideal solution.
4. Crop selection:
Crop selection process consider the ideal situation (according to system tens to
perfect solution) and give the next crop which is suitable to current parameters.
5. Detection of movements:
Farms are open area, animals, birds or creatures may harm crops, so the trip sensor
detects any movements in the farm to prevent it.
6. Notification on Display:
While detecting if there is any movements occurred, it notified the user that there is
going something wrong.
7. Registration/login:
Farmers, Farm manager, admin can login into the system, farmers can get suggestions
from farm manager, notification from sensor, can give feedback, can complaining
about error. Admin can manage all the database and the system, and farm manager
can manage the complaining from farmer and can give best suggestions to them.

Other Non-functional Requirements

4.1 Performance Requirements

1. Data retrieving speed: the speed of retrieving data from sensor should be faster as
possible, more delay may cause the wrong solution.
2. Data manipulation speed: Manipulating the fetched data and provided database
must be faster, it may leads to miss management and may not give the accurate
solution according to current parameters.
3. Ultrasonic noise generating speed: After detecting the movements, ultrasonic sound
generate immediately otherwise animals, birds or other creatures may affect the crops.
4. Giving notification: Notification time should be normal, that farmer can get the
whole the situation and fix the problem.
5. Display timing: After completing all the processes, farmer should know that what
crop he has to choose next, if display not work properly then the farmer could not get
the information.

4.2 Safety and Security Requirements

1. Use case:
Use-case is used to prevent the circuit of the system form external circumstances, the
circuit include Arduino, Wi-Fi module, sensors, wires, etc. they all should be
protected from external affairs. Maintenance of the core circuit is done by use-case.
2. IOT:
IOT- Internet of things, it includes all the safety parameters regarding to the Internet
such as http,https and other security parameters such as communication protocols,
Wi-Fi protocols ,etc.

Project Report for Contempo Geoponic GreenBox

Page 27

3. Database:
Database must be secure, because it contains all the information related to farmer,
farm manager, admin, crops details and much more. It should be prevent from
external users, otherwise a small change in database may leads dangerous failure of
the system.
4 Mobile app:
Mobile application code must be private to developer and admin, otherwise anyone
can change the environment related to application functionalities, features,
components,etc. So make the coding part private as possible.
