Design of a Corn Seed Sowing Machine for Uniform Distribution of Corn Seeds Using Optimum Seed Distribution Algorithm

With the increase in population, improving the food production is essential. The advancement of technology is imperative to the agriculture sector in order to minimize the conventional tedious cultivation process and to produce quality food products for better welfare of the human basic food needs and prognosis rate improvement. This chapter proposed triple modular redundancy (TMR) at each sensing stage of the corn seed sowing machine in order to achieve the redundancy and to improve the functional efficiency. The machine is supervised remotely by the operator for monitoring the functional efficiency. Highway addressable remote transducer (HART) communication protocol is used to communicate between remote and local controller. In order to improve the production rate, equal corn seed distribution is the primary objective for optimum corn seed utilization and distribution. The essential design parameters are estimated theoretically. The fault analysis at both sensing and communication stages is monitored with the local and remote controllers. This will improve the functional efficiency of the machine. The designed corn seed sowing machine will reduce the human intervention and improve the production rate.
