Edge computing gateway + Internet of Things platform to achieve intelligent management of agricultural sewage

The combination of edge computing and iot platforms has great potential in the intelligent management of agricultural wastewater. The intelligent management of agricultural sewage refers to the monitoring, analysis and treatment of the sewage generated in the process of agricultural production through the application of technical means, so as to realize the effective management and resource utilization of agricultural sewage.

Edge computing is a computing model that places data processing functions and computing power closer to the source of data generation. The iot platform provides the framework and tools to connect and manage all kinds of devices. Combining edge computing and the Internet of Things platform, sensors, wireless communication devices and computing devices can be deployed near sewage sources such as farmland and livestock farms, real-time monitoring and collection of sewage related data, and real-time processing and analysis of collected data through edge computing.

In the smart management of agricultural wastewater, edge computing and iot platforms can play the following roles:

1. Real-time monitoring and analysis: By deploying sensors and equipment near the source of sewage, key parameters such as pH value, dissolved oxygen and suspended matter concentration of sewage can be monitored and collected in real time, and processed and analyzed in real time through edge computing. This helps to know the status of sewage water quality and its impact on the environment in real time, and take corresponding measures in time.

2. Intelligent decision support: Through the data management and analysis function of the Internet of Things platform, the monitored sewage data can be compared and analyzed with historical data, so as to provide intelligent decision support. For example, based on data models and algorithms, it is possible to predict the impact of agricultural activities on sewage discharge and provide farmers with reasonable agricultural advice.

3. Effect evaluation and optimization: Through the data analysis function of edge computing and Internet of Things platform, the effect of sewage treatment measures can be evaluated and optimized. Indicators such as sewage treatment effect, cost and resource utilization can be monitored and analyzed in real time through the platform to provide a scientific basis for agricultural production.

4. Resource collaboration and sharing: Through the connection and management functions of the Internet of Things platform, sewage data between different farmland or farms can be shared and coordinated. This is conducive to the realization of regional resource sharing and sewage treatment experience exchange, so as to improve the efficiency and effect of agricultural sewage treatment.

5. Remote management and control: Through the Internet of Things platform, sewage treatment equipment can achieve remote management and control. Operators can use the platform to monitor equipment status in real time, master the treatment process, troubleshoot and adjust operating parameters in time, and improve the efficiency of sewage treatment.

6. Data security and privacy protection: In the architecture of edge computing and Internet of Things platforms, data processing and storage mostly occur locally on the device, and less data transmission reduces the risk of data leakage. At the same time, the platform needs to have a sound data security mechanism and privacy protection measures to ensure the security and privacy of agricultural sewage related data.

In general, the combination of edge computing and the Internet of Things platform can achieve multiple functions such as real-time data monitoring, intelligent analysis, decision support, effect optimization, resource sharing, remote management and data security in the intelligent management of agricultural sewage. This will effectively improve the scientific, efficient and sustainable treatment of agricultural sewage, and provide strong support for fine management and sustainable agricultural development.
