“…Thus, it was possible to contribute to the stabilization of climatic parameters and the proper control of periodic processes such as lighting and irrigation, managing mitigation of the risks that threaten the optimum productivity of crops. These results are consistent with the research carried out in [14] for monitoring environmental parameters in precision agriculture, in which tolerances of 0.7% for temperature and 5.2% for relative humidity were obtained.…”

Abstract:The design and implementation of a low-cost system for monitoring and remote control of a greenhouse using fuzzy logic is presented. For the control system, an Arduino Mega board was programmed with a fuzzy algorithm to monitor and perform control actions for environmental temperature, soil moisture, relative humidity, and lighting. A website was designed to visualize the main indicators of agricultural interest and to get access to tools such as forced ventilation, misting systems, and sprinkler irrigation. For connectivity to the webpage, an Arduino Ethernet Shield was used. Thus, it was possible to establish a local area network and monitor and control the greenhouse climate variables manually or automatically. The application designed allowed access to the configuration, monitoring, and control of climatic conditions in the greenhouse. The effectiveness of fuzzy logic to control nonlinear systems was therefore verified without the mathematical model of the plant. Thus, the use of resources for a gable roof greenhouse prototype was optimized.

“…There is growing interest in the research community in the open-source concept of free and collaborative sharing of ideas and technologies [16] [17], which "aims to foster technological knowledge and encourage research that is accessible, collaborative and respects user freedom" (https://www.oshwa.org/about/). A growing number of open-source projects have been undertaken to provide accessible tools and resources for developing sensing and monitoring capabilities [18], and to address specific research needs, especially in agricultural and environmental disciplines [17] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23].…”

Many agricultural applications, including improved crop production, precision agriculture, and phenotyping, rely on detailed field and crop information to detect and react to spatial variabilities. Mobile farm vehicles, such as tractors and sprayers, have the potential to operate as mobile sensing platforms, enabling the collection of large amounts of data while working. Open-source hardware and software components were integrated to develop a mobile plant-canopy sensing and monitoring system. The microcontroller-based system, which incorporated a Bluetooth radio, GPS receiver, infrared temperature and ultrasonic distance sensors, micro SD card storage, and voltage regulation components, was developed at a cost of US$292. The system was installed on an agricultural vehicle and tested in a soybean field. The monitoring system demonstrates an application of open-source hardware to agricultural research and provides a framework for similar or additional sensing applications.

RESUMOUm sistema coletor de dados inteligente microcontrolado, foi desenvolvido e avaliado para a monitoração de indicadores de conforto ambiental dos galpões de produção de aves Cobb. O objetivo deste artigo tem seu foco em produzir um dispositivo portátil que, automaticamente e de maneira autônoma, possa calcular o indicador referente ao ITU que é o índice que correlaciona a temperatura e a umidade do ar presente no ambiente do alojamento, armazenando os dados digitalmente em mídia removível, para posterior avaliação dos indicadores, gerando informações de classificação de patamares relativos ao conforto das aves e que orientem ações para evitar o estresse gerado pelo calor. Para tal foram utilizados uma placa eletrônica microcontrolada, um sensor de temperatura eletrônico montado em um globo negro construído em cobre, um módulo sensor de temperatura e de umidade relativa do ar, um módulo sensor de pressão atmosférica, um módulo de relógio em tempo real, um módulo para leitura e escrita em cartões SD. O firmware foi construído com base em um software dedicado para a placa adotada e um modelo reduzido em escala de uma instalação avícola. Os resultados que foram alcançados comprovam que o uso de sistemas microcontrolados aliados ao uso de sensores eletrônicos, podem gerar eficientes ferramentas de suporte a decisão para os gestores de processos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: estresse de calor, frango Cobb, sensores. PORTABLE DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR THE ACQUISITION OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY INDEX IN THE BROILER SHEDSABSTRACT A intelligent microcontroller data collector system, was developed and evaluated for monitoring environmental comfort indicators of Cobb poultry production sheds. The purpose of this article is focused on producing a portable device that automatically and autonomously, can calculate the indicator for the ITU which is the index that correlates the temperature and humidity present in the housing environment by storing data digitally on removable media, for further evaluation of the indicators, generating levels of classification for information regarding the comfort of the birds
