Information Model of the Computer-Integrated Technology for Wireless Monitoring of the State of Microclimate of Industrial Agricultural Greenhouses

Abstract

Currently, computer-integrated technologies are increasingly used, which leads to a continuous search for scientifically grounded ways of their development. Agriculture is one of such industries, whose needs require urgent modernization by introducing modern computer, sensor and infocommunication technologies. The purpose of the article is to develop scientific and applied foundations for improving computer-integrated systems for monitoring the state of the microclimate of agricultural greenhouses through the synthesis of an information model of the process of wireless exchange of observation results of physical and chemical parameters. Basic research methods: critical analysis and logical generalization; information and computer modelling; synthesis of structural and algorithmic organizations of computer-integrated technologies; probability theory; the concept of the Internet of Things; experimental testing of computer-integrated and infocommunication equipment. The scientific novelty of the results lies in the development of a method for network aggregation of measurement information, which, unlike the known ones, implements algorithms for detection and software elimination of typical errors in the operation of the system functional modules, which made it possible to reduce the likelihood of uncertainties in the measurement results from 0.6% to 0.01% during network transformation of information. The practical value of the results lies in the development and implementation of a software information model of local and remote aggregation, processing and visualization of the results of observations of the dynamics of the greenhouse microclimate parameters based on the concept of the Internet of Things.
