The majority of the agricultural operations performed by the farmers day by day are using heavy mechanized equipment. The mechanized equipment’s such as tractors cultivators and plough are used for performing the agricultural operations of the farmers. Most of the farmers can’t afford the tractors and heavy mechanized equipment on their own. Hence they have to take the equipment’s on rental and perform the necessary tasks required for the agriculture. The major problem faced by farmers today is keeping the track of the work done by these rented equipment’s . The Rental provider will charge for rent on day basis and there is no systematic way to keep a track of the actual work done by the tractor in the field. This results in farmers paying more for lesser amount of work done which is financial burden for farmers. Our work proposes an innovative concept of smart automatic work tracking system for agricultural activities using GPS and IOT. This system consists of smart sensor based device which will be fit on the tractors performing the operations in the field. The device will continuously monitor and track the work done by the tractor right from the starting of the tractor to the actual work done. The sensors are present to detect the start time of the tractor, Exact geographical location of the tractor, the Fuel consumed, which particular task is performed for how much time and complete tracking of the work performed in the field. The system monitors the complete tracking data and then logs the same to the IOT based server which can be monitored remotely to keep a track of the same. Thus implementation can solve the problems faced by the farmers as they can track the actual work done in the farm and pay only for the amount of the work done.
