Monitoramento e otimização ao de monoculturas em estufas por meio da tecnologia LoRaWAN.

Abstract

In the creation and maintenance of greenhouses and flower farms, ideal condi tions are crucial for crop growth. Agriculture 4.0, combining advanced technologies with agricultural practices, presents challenges in monitoring these conditions. Light, tempe rature, soil moisture, and CO2 concentration are essential factors, but monitoring them is challenging. The proposed solution is the integration of the ESP32 microcontroller with the LoRaWAN network. The ESP32, equipped with specific sensors, collects real-time data on environmental factors. The LoRaWAN network enables efficient transmission of data to a central node connected to the internet, allowing remote access to the data. This enables continuous and precise monitoring, alerting farmers to critical deviations and facilitating studies. The approach is economically feasible, making it advantageous for smaller establishments. In essence, the combination of ESP32 with LoRaWAN offers a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solution to optimize crop growth, minimizing losses and maximizing resource efficiency, aligning with the principles of Agriculture 4.0.
