IoT-Based Sheep Guarding System in Indian Scenario Sudheer Kumar Nagothu and Chilaka Jayaram 1 Introduction Sheep farming is a common practice in rural India. Each sheep costs around 10,000–15,000 INR, which is almost equal to 1/10th of Indian per capita income. When one of this animal is stolen or when it is lost, it will cause huge financial burden to the farmer. Monitoring these animals is an important task, which is fulfilled here using GPS, GPRS, and RFID. The circuit attached to the leader of the mob is shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the circuit consists of GPS, WiFi, and RFID reader. The power required to operate the circuit can be supplied with the help of a battery. All the animals in the mob except the leader consist of a passive RFID. The RFID reader provided on the leader ’s neck is used to read the RFID information about all the remaining animals. 2 Literature Survey The GPS and GPRS integrated circuit can be used in various applications [1–3] such as taking attendance of students or monitoring people and guidance to cyclist. Certain investigation has also included weather data for watering the crop using GPRS [4]. To improve the accuracy of GPS, Kalman filter algorithm can be used [5, 6]. GPS and GPRS system can be used in applications such as toll collection, as an aid to partially vision impaired people, in smart watering system and as driving aid using Doppler sensor [7–10]. GPS and GPRS system is used as an anti-theft alerting system for animals and to monitor them [11]. S. K. Nagothu (&) Á C.
