Resumen
This study presents a newly developed edge computing platform designed to enhance connectivity between edge devices and the cloud in the agricultural sector. Addressing the challenge of synchronizing a central database across 850 remote farm locations in various countries, the focus lies on maintaining data integrity and consistency for effective farm management. The incorporation of a new edge device into existing setups has significantly improved computational capabilities for tasks like data synchronization and machine learning. This research highlights the critical role of cloud computing in managing large data volumes, with Amazon Web Services hosting the databases. This paper showcases an integrated architecture combining edge devices, networks, and cloud computing, forming a seamless continuum of services from cloud to edge. This approach proves effective in managing the significant data volumes generated in remote agricultural areas. This paper also introduces the PAIR Mechanism, which is a solution developed in response to the unique challenges of agricultural data management, emphasizing resilience and simplicity in data synchronization between cloud and edge databases. The PAIR Mechanism?s potential for robust data management in IoT and cloud environments is explored, offering a novel perspective on synchronization challenges in edge computing.
