Abstract


Digitalization has led to manifestation of many novel technologies for predictive and prescriptive analysis in agriculture sector. One of the potential technologies is IoT (Internet of Things) with dynamic innovations for multiple applications in farming. IoT enabled smart greenhouses have increased market potential as these controlled systems help in monitoring a microclimate environment for crops, nutrient management and yield remotely. The current study depicts a systematic approach to assess the trends in IoT based smart greenhouses using patent analytics. Trends indicate a surge in patent filing in IoT based devices in agriculture from 2014 onwards with China in lead and the spread more in private firms than in public universities.The study shows the temporal trends, patent timeline, identity of applicants etc. and provide insights about the development of most relevant IoT technologies for smart greenhouses.
