Ahmad Zaini Pratama, one of the recipients of the gold medal said on Monday (14/10) that along with fellow students Haris Hendrik, Andika Prima Sandi, Aisya Fitri Abdillah and Al Syahril, earned the medal for their IoTanam: Smart Urban Farming platform. It is integrated as a precision agriculture technology equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to control and recommend plant disease mitigation. It is hydroponic and agroforestry based in real time.

The platform has been developed with features such as mentor, water flow control and plant nutrition, recommendation system, and automatic water and nutrition filling. IoT has been installed to control and monitor temperature, humidity, water supply, and water level in the tank. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence is to detect plant disease types and recommendation of disease mitigation.
“With IoTanam, we can monitor agroforestry activities remotely and we can regulate water supply and humidity as well as soil acidity level automatically, even when we are out of town,” he explained.
