Abstract
We have deployed our smart sensing system in a real commercial farm complex for at least 17 months. One of critical factors to success of the sensing system deployment is the resilience and fault tolerance of the system in a harsh environment with unreliable infrastructure and limited access. Power interruptions and intermittent connectivity is not uncommon. Sensors must work even submerging in animal excretion. Correct and continuous streams of sensor data is essential to our smart farming analytics. To make our sensing system sustain such challenges, we have designed and implemented the system with a capability of self-rejuvenation to ensure system liveness. We also equip it with our anomaly detection system to examine small sensor connectivity logs in order to identify potential faulty or deteriorating sensors or external event abnormality with minimal manual intervention.
