Abstract

The adaptability needed for small poultry environments is lacking in conventional tilling equipment, which is typically designed for open agricultural fields. In order to close this gap, this work describes the creation of a solar-powered, Internet of Things-integrated tiller that can effectively till soil and apply controlled pesticides in small agricultural areas. The system greatly reduces reliance on external electricity or fuel-driven mechanisms by using photovoltaic energy stored in a battery to power the tilling motor, spraying pump, and electronic subsystems. Mobility is made possible by a Wi-Fi-based control interface that allows users to operate the machine remotely in a convenient and secure manner by using a mobile application to drive it forward or backward. By warning the user of surrounding objects while maneuvering, an ultrasonic obstacle- detection module combined with an audible buzzer improves operational safety. Requirement analysis and CAD-based modeling using SolidWorks software were part of the engineering workflow. The results of the experiment showed consistent power consumption from the solar-battery system, stable tilling performance, efficient pesticide delivery, and dependable wireless control. For small poultry farms looking to automate repetitive tasks while reducing manual labour and operating costs, the suggested system provides a portable, energy-efficient, and user-friendly solution. Future improvements could include more attachments for broader farm applications, better power-management algorithms, and semi-autonomous navigation.
