An Environment Monitoring System for Valuable Chinese Herbal Medicine Growing Based on Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

The wireless sensor network, which refers to the combination of sensors, embedded system, MEMS, distributed information processing and wireless communication network has become a hot topic in the research field because of its wide application prospect. This paper propose the design of an environmental monitoring system for valuable medicinal herb growing based on wireless sensor network, which gives a real-time monitoring of the environment information on the target area, such as soil temperature, humidity, light intensity, soil components. This paper describes architecture of the monitoring system and gives a design of hardware platform for sensor nodes and workflow as well as the terminals of monitoring management system.
