Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 管理學院MBA === 107 === This document has as main goal the research, application and feasibility of a smart
farming project for the coffee industry. The size of the industry, its relevance to the producer
nations and the opportunity to disrupt this industry are the main reasons to explore this topic.
In this case, the application of IoT can help to gather data for weather prediction and pest
detection. The problems associated with these two parameters are present across different
nations, for this reason, it is important to find a solution with international coverage, in order
to provide the needed data to the farmers across the globe.
The application of IoT methodologies can benefit the farmer in different ways; a more
accurate detection of the insect infestation will reduce the application of pesticides, the
reduction of pesticides will help to increase the quality of the coffee beans and this will have
a positive impact in the price of the coffee, in favor of the farmers.
