Structure and elements of the internet of things network for milk quality control

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) network is a level of development of devices that can be connected to a network via the Internet or using wireless technologies. The devices exchange data in real time both directly and via remote online servers. These devices are capable of operating in automatic mode, but the user can control them, including remotely. The simplest explanation of what IoT is sounds like this: it is a network in which devices, not users, communicate with each other. Within the framework of "Automation 4.0", it is proposed to use the Internet of Things technology for remote monitoring and control of milk quality of dairy farms distributed throughout the district. A model of such an IoT network based on multi-agent technology is presented. The structure of this IoT network is proposed, including milk analyzers, gateways-converters, a cloud structure in which a server platform is rented.
