Accordingly, as smart farms are becoming more common, various sensors and ICT device devices are also being released accordingly, and several product models are sold according to manufacturers for sensors and ICT device devices of the same item.

Due to this situation, data formats are used according to different formats and formats, and different communication methods are used, depending on the type of sensor and ICT device devices, manufacturers, and models. Communication methods such as RS-485, RS-232, COAP, HTTP, MQTT, and WebSocket are each adopted, and the sensor data formats are different for each sensor. For example, the number of data bits allocated to each sensor data is different.

Therefore, when installing various sensors and ICT devices in the smart farm, it is difficult to build an integrated smart farm due to the data format and communication method for each sensor model. In addition, it is necessary to change the construction of the smart farm as the cultivated crops or livestock are changed. Even in this case, each smart farm has to be built for each sensor.
