Smart Agri Scarecrow

Computer Engineering

The project Smart scarecrow (Bujgavane) is an IoT based device. In this Project mobile app is useed which would turn the way of agriculture production by not only enhancing it but by making it efficient, users friendly and safe. The objective of this project is to propose smart scarecrow(Bujgavane) in the agricultural fields which will enable to save the crops from the birds, also getting live data (temperature, soil moisture) for efficient environment monitoring which will enable them to increase their overall yield and quality of products and also handle the agricultural equipment (motor, sprinklers, sound making buzzers) through mobile app by one click .The project is also integrated with technology mixed with different sensors module producing live data on users mobile screen. In our project we have used flapping mechanism to move the smart scarecrow hands in upward and downward direction. The details of flapping mechanism are given below. A smart scarecrow is used to scare the birds and to the animals to save the crops in the field. A farmer put the scarecrow in the middle of the field to save his crop from birds and animals. We have seen that scarecrow has no movement when the birds are come in the field. The flapping mechanism is used to convert the rotary motion of the motor into linear motion of flapping hands when the crank rotates, the connecting rods pushes the hands in up and down direction. The flapping consists of crank, connecting rod, flapping arm, support structure, nuts and bolts. Crank is join with one end of connecting rod and second end of connecting rod is join with flapping bar, when crank rotates the crank push the connecting rod connecting rod push the flapping arms ups and downs. Machinery such as windmills have been employed as scarecrow, but the effectiveness lessens as animals become familiar with structure. Farming contribute a major income to the Indian economy, it is a huge concern to the farmer when they are away from their crop and exposing it to crop threat such as crow damaging the crop and theft. Farming has contributed to nearly up to 60% land of a country.
