Automação para produção de alimentos em estufas grícolas

Abstract

This article is the result of an interdisciplinary research on the agricultural processes in greenhouses where the environmental and physiological needs of cultivated vegetables were raised, as well as the development and implantation of the prototype of low cost automation through electronic prototyping technology, Arduino, its components, shields and equipment control in crop management, unifying the knowledge for a data collection based on environmental variables raised for measurement, analysis, control and support decision making in food production in agricultural cultivating greenhouses providing an increase in productivity and the competitive advantages of automating processes and triggering equipment, as well as interoperability, communication and remote web access, and the use of TCP / IP and 4-20ma communication protocols, enabling interconnection with intelligent sensors, servers, components available of these data for the control and monitoring of agricultural production in agricultural.
