Artificial intelligence and internet of things oriented sustainable precision farming: Towards modern agriculture.

Agriculture encompasses the study, practice, and discipline of plant cultivation. Agriculture has an extensive history dating back thousands of years. Depending on climate and terrain, it began independently in various locations on the planet. In comparison to what could be sustained by foraging and gathering, agriculture has the potential to significantly increase the human population. Throughout the twenty-first century, precision farming (PF) has increased the agricultural output. precision agriculture (PA) is a technology-enabled method of agriculture that assesses, monitors, and evaluates the needs of specific fields and commodities. The primary objective of this farming method, as opposed to conventional farming, is to increase crop yields and profitability through the precise application of inputs. This work describes in depth the development and function of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) in contemporary agriculture. Modern day-to-day applications rely extensively on AI and the IoT. Modern agriculture leverages AI and IoT for technological advancement. This improves the accuracy and profitability of modern agriculture. The use of AI and IoT in modern smart precision agricultural applications is highlighted in this work and the method proposed incorporates specific steps in PF and demonstrates superior performance compared to existing classification methods. It achieves a remarkable accuracy of 98.65%, precision of 98.32%, and recall rate of 97.65% while retaining competitive execution time of 0.23 s, when analysing PF using the FAOSTAT benchmark dataset. Additionally, crucial equipment and methods used in PF are described and the vital advantages and real-time tools utilised in PA are covered in detail.

Energy Aware Load Balancing Framework for Smart Grid Using Cloud and Fog Computing.

Data centers are producing a lot of data as cloud-based smart grids replace traditional grids. The number of automated systems has increased rapidly, which in turn necessitates the rise of cloud computing. Cloud computing helps enterprises offer services cheaply and efficiently. Despite the challenges of managing resources, longer response plus processing time, and higher energy consumption, more people are using cloud computing. Fog computing extends cloud computing. It adds cloud services that minimize traffic, increase security, and speed up processes. Cloud and fog computing help smart grids save energy by aggregating and distributing the submitted requests. The paper discusses a load-balancing approach in Smart Grid using Rock Hyrax Optimization (RHO) to optimize response time and energy consumption. The proposed algorithm assigns tasks to virtual machines for execution and shuts off unused virtual machines, reducing the energy consumed by virtual machines. The proposed model is implemented on the CloudAnalyst simulator, and the results demonstrate that the proposed method has a better and quicker response time with lower energy requirements as compared with both static and dynamic algorithms. The suggested algorithm reduces processing time by 26%, response time by 15%, energy consumption by 29%, cost by 6%, and delay by 14%.

Performance Optimization of Industrial Supply Chain Using Artificial Intelligence.

Nowadays, organized retailing has witnessed a newer trend in the upcoming generations. Globally, these changes are attributed to growing family income, increased female participation, the transformation from joint to nuclear family structure, and technological advancements. Moreover, other variables such as lower supply chain costs, growing sales, rising consumer demands, changing market structure, and increasing competition also influenced supply chain networks. It is observed that the organizational nonlivestock supply chain performance is affected by strategic, operational, and environmental aspects. AI is helping to deliver powerful optimization capabilities, which are required for more accurate capacity planning, improved productivity, high quality, lower costs, and greater output, all while fostering safer working conditions. These benefits are all made possible thanks to the introduction of AI in supply chains. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of the relevant previous research, the purpose of this work is to determine the specific contributions that artificial intelligence (AI) has made to supply chain management. This research attempted to discover the present as well as possible AI strategies that may increase both the study of Supply Chain Management as well as the practice of it. This was done in order to solve the current scientific gap of AI in Supply Chain Management. It was also found that there are holes in the existing study that need to be filled by more scientific investigation. To be more exact, the following four facets were discussed: (1) the AI approaches that are most often used in Supply Chain Management; (2) the AI techniques that have the potential to be used in Supply Chain Management; (3) the Supply Chain Management subfields that have benefited from the application of AI so far; and (4) the subfields that have a high potential to be improved by AI. Identifying and evaluating articles from the four supply chain management domains of logistics, marketing, supply chain management, and manufacturing require the use of a predetermined set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, insights are provided via the use of methodical analysis and synthesis. A better understanding of these parameters not only improves the nonlivestock supply chain processes but also ensures competitive advantage. The present research aims to test the following elements that including supply chain speed, customer retention, supply chain management integration, and various management. The proposed work categorizes the performance of the supply chain using the Improved Feed Forward Network with Particle Swarm Optimization technique. Results indicate that inventory management, customer happiness, profitability, and client base identification are listed as competitive advantage elements. On the other hand, stakeholder satisfaction, innovation and learning, market performance, customer satisfaction, and financial success are the six recognized organizational performance criteria. Resultantly, the overall performance metrics of the proposed work is 94.12%, while accuracy rate, specificity, and sensitivity rate are found to be 94.12%, 92.15%, and 89.14%, respectively. The research can be helpful for industrial managers to optimize the performance of supply chain systems using artificial intelligence.

Machine Learning-Enabled Smart Industrial Automation Systems Using Internet of Things.

Industrial automation uses robotics and software to operate equipment and procedures across industries. Many applications integrate IoT, machine learning, and other technologies to provide smart features that improve the user experience. The use of such technology offers businesses and people tremendous assistance in successfully achieving commercial and noncommercial requirements. Organizations are expected to automate industrial processes owing to the significant risk management and inefficiency of conventional processes. Hence, we developed an elaborative stepwise stacked artificial neural network (ESSANN) algorithm to greatly improve automation industries in controlling and monitoring the industrial environment. Initially, an industrial dataset provided by KLEEMANN Greece was used. The collected data were then preprocessed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to extract features, and feature selection was based on least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Subsequently, the ESSANN approach is proposed to improve automation industries. The performance of the proposed algorithm was also examined and compared with that of existing algorithms. The key factors compared with existing technologies are delay, network bandwidth, scalability, computation time, packet loss, operational cost, accuracy, precision, recall, and mean absolute error (MAE). Compared to traditional algorithms for industrial automation, our proposed techniques achieved high results, such as a delay of approximately 52%, network bandwidth accomplished at 97%, scalability attained at 96%, computation time acquired at 59 s, packet loss achieved at a minimum level of approximately 53%, an operational cost of approximately 59%, accuracy of 98%, precision of 98.95%, recall of 95.02%, and MAE of 80%. By analyzing the results, it can be seen that the proposed system was effectively implemented.
