Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to aHealth Monitoring and Alert Solution for Tomato Harvesters in Agriculture and Rural Sectors though nRF.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
One of the biggest challenges facing the agriculture sector is efficiently optimizing the health and performance monitoring of tomato harvesters in remote areas. The existing approaches are unable to offer a complete and instantaneous monitoring solution, which hinders the prompt response of possible problems and improves operational effectiveness. Lack of an integrated system with cutting-edge sensors, wireless connectivity, and cloud-based machine learning algorithms results in inefficiencies, increased downtime, and delayed operator and authority alarms
US4584826A - A tomato harvester having a standard tractor pulling a non-self-powered harvester assembly partially supported on wheels and partially supported by the tractor. The harvester assembly includes a main frame with two parallel longitudinal beams connected by transverse cross members, a pickup unit with a cutter, and a separator for separating tomatoes from plants. It has a conveyor system for transporting tomatoes to bin-trailers and hydraulic mechanisms for keeping the cutter at a constant ground depth. The harvester assembly is connected to the tractor via a tongue, which also carries hydraulic conduits to operate the powered devices, along with a hydraulic fluid tank and cooling device. Health Monitoring of Tomato Harvesters through nRF and IoT technology is the novelty of the system.
US4662162A - A single-row tomato harvester where a tractor, fully supported on its wheels, bridges a previously harvested bed and rides in its furrows. It includes its hydraulic pump, power take-off unit, and a rigid draw bar. The non-motive harvester assembly is partially wheel-supported, with hydraulic means for harvesting and is offset by one bed from the tractor. The system includes a pivotally attached tongue, supporting a hydraulic pump for the harvester's powered mechanisms, and a longitudinal drive line with telescoping means for adjusting length. A hydraulic cylinder-piston apparatus adjusts the lateral position of the harvester. Health Monitoring of Tomato Harvesters through nRF and IoT technology is the novelty of the system.

The nRF Module wirelessly sends the HMASTHCMote data collection to a cloud server. IoT technology integration makes it easier for the devices and the central server to communicate with one other. More sophisticated machine learning algorithms are activated once the data is in the cloud. Real-time data analysis is carried out by these algorithms, which find trends and abnormalities related to the tomato harvester's functionality and overall health. Alerts are triggered by the machine learning algorithms in case of any deviation from the expected parameters or potential issues. The authorities and the operator are then notified of these notifications. Email alerts create a direct line of communication, and HMASTHRMote's HMI Display provides real-time response from the field. A web dashboard that can be accessed online also offers a thorough summary of all warnings and enables remote monitoring and administration.
