Uso de iot para automatizar a coleta de dados relevantes à produção de mudas de morango

Abstract

This paper proposes an analysis of possible uses for Internet of Things (IoT) resources when contextualized for the production process of strawberry seedlings. This topic is introduced with an explanation of the current state of IoT use in Brazilian agriculture, situating the difference between strawberry cultivation – normally carried out by small farmers – and other types of cultivation more focused on large-scale production. IoT is conceptualized and the difficulties regarding its adoption in rural areas are presented, additionally explaining how this adoption can benefit the production of strawberry seedlings through the use of sensors to obtain data. A prototype system is structured consisting in collecting, locally storing and presenting relevant data for the production of strawberry seedlings, and hardware and software technologies that may allow its implementation in a viable way are selected. The development of the prototype is described, its operation is presented, and considerations about future works are given.
