Project Details
Description
The main effort in agriculture is focusing on three main areas: improving food quality, contributing to development such as bioenergy and bioeconomy, and improving the quantity / quality of production. Therefore, the need to increase the efficiency of agriculture through the two fundamental aspects regarding Information and Communication Technologies is indisputable: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Data Analysis. These two technologies, together with the Internet and distributed computing such as the new Fog Computing architectures, are the basis for the Internet of Things (IoT); known in the agronomic field as "Smart Farming". This proposal aims to respond to some of them by: 1. Evaluating how the sensors allow to measure responses in the plantations; 2. Evaluate how it will affect the position of the nodes; 3. Proposal of tools to deal with uncertainty and data quality; 4. Propose tools for data processing and integration; 5. Develop a new Hardware / Software to address the lack of connectivity in rural areas; 6. Propose the use of data analysis, statistics and data science methods to transform the flow of data into knowledge for farmers.
