Automação de processos do agronegócio auxiliada pela internet das coisas (IoT): uma proposta de implementação de um gateway de IoT para simplificar a automatização da aquicultura

Abstract

With the increase in the world population, it will require greater efficiency in food production and one way to increase this aspect is to use technology to automate and optimize production processes. This work presents a proposal to facilitate the automation of aquaculture processes through information technology following the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), which is part of the definition of the term emerging platforms, this term denotes a set of technologies that have emerged from 2010 when it then gained popularity and became important, both in the area of information technology (IT), as the application of IoT in automation can facilitate this activity, for agribusiness professionals without previous technological experience in automation, being focused on professionals who want to automate aquaculture processes. The relevance of this work shows the understanding that automation, in fish production and handling, aims at eliminating stressful and unnecessary work from activities that generate stresses when performed erroneously and helps to create demand for specialized labor that would generate job opportunities in which workers are most valued. A bibliographic review was made on: Internet of Things (IoT), automation, electronics, arduino and data monitoring algorithms, with the purpose of: evaluating concepts, collecting best practices, measuring the results presented in the bibliographies found and presenting the tests performed in the field. Quantitative methods of instrumentation were used, using sensors for data collection, and experiment, with the application of the components implemented in the field. The gateway was implemented and deployed and the reading data from the sensors and actuators were collected and recorded.
