Application of Wireless Sensor Network in the Monitoring System for Valuable Chinese Herbal Medicine Growth

Abstract:

Chinese herbal medicine with no side effects can help people resist disease and keep healthy, due to predatory excavation, and heavy deforestation, the destruction ecological environment, lots of the precious Chinese herbal medicines are on the edge of exhaustion. In order to protect Chinese herbal medicines and do artificial cultivation, the paper presents a real-time monitoring system based wireless sensor network. The system gives the hardware design of wireless sensor node and software implementations. The nodes are mainly responsible for collecting and transporting the environment parameters of the Chinese herbal medicine including temperature, humidity and light intensity and so on, and send the data through the GPRS module to the remote monitoring center. The system can make the artificial cultivation of the medicines more modern, scientific and objective.
