FACTORS AFFECTING SMART FARMING SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT IN THE DIGITAL ERA: A MOBILE APPLICATION APPROACH
Keywords:
Smart Farming, Internet of Things (IoT), ArduinoAbstract
This study aims to investigate the factors of smart farming systems for agriculture in the digital age that have developed systems with knowledge of IoT technology that can be used to transfer data between devices and can automatically analyze data with real-time display from measurable sensors and control devices to control environmental factors to suit the growth of crops. By using mobile smartphones, this research can reduce labor costs and time. The data obtained from the measurements is stored in the user database. Data was collected from a total of 400 samples of local farmers, with thorough screening and respondents selected according to their preferences. The statistical analyzes used in this study were mathematical averages, frequencies, percentages, standard deviations and comparative analysis statistics.
The analysis results showed that the structural equation model of the factors influencing the development of smart farming systems for farmers in the digital era with mobile applications was in good fit with the empirical data. The model was consistent with the empirical data, with Chi-square – = 59.966, df = 45, Sig. = 0.067 > 0.05 and CMIN/df. = 1.333 < 3.0. The analysis results of model fitting show that the criteria for consistency and statistical value are met.
