Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:

In order to optimize crops and avoid plagues, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are widely applied in many agricultural applications. The objective of these networks is monitoring the condition of crops. These networks can be part of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT means that each device is connected to the network, Internet, to send and to receive data. It is estimated that all IoT applications, not only in agriculture, by 2022 there could be around more than 5000 million objects. Many of these devices are nodes with few resources: little memory, low computing power, low energy and they are autonomous. They measure physical parameters, store and transmit to a control centre. The objective of this work is to develop a network for agricultural measurements at the ESAB (Escola Superior d'Agricultura de Barcelona) test fields. The nodes measure several plantation parameters for monitoring the evolution of the crops, and transmit the data to a central computer to allow the monitoring of the evolution of plants. The important parameters to be monitored in any type of plantation are temperature, humidity and solar radiation, through discrete sensors or using weather stations that integrate different types of sensors. The choice of devices to use must guarantee the objective of minimizing costs and consumption, and be autonomous.
