Novel wireless sensor networks for agricultural monitoring

Country of Origin: Italy
Reference Number: TOIT20161024003
Publication Date: 21 November 2016

Summary

An Italian SME projects and develops wireless sensor networks mainly for environment, industrial and hydrogeological instability monitoring and is offering the fulfillment of a complete monitoring system. This includes the choice of appropriate sensors, the interfacing electronic boards production, the nodes software programming and the managing of a website where all the collected data are displayed. The company are seeking investors via financial agreement to advance the technology.

Description

The wireless monitoring system allows to adopt forecast and prevention strategies based on the accurate sensors monitoring and drastically reduce damages repair service.

The system is made by a sequence of nodes. All nodes are provided with one or more sensors and/or actuators, which can exchange information through radio connection, following specific communication procedures. Since nodes are small and wireless, it is a low invasive system and allows a quick installation, particularly in areas where complex structures are not feasible.

In order to reduce to the minimum workers' permanence in areas at risk, it is fundamental to use systems that ensure remote measurement and monitoring in real time and cuts installation and maintenance time. Every device has small dimensions and is able to support different kind of sensors in order to measure different parameters. The nodes have a long-life battery and in case of lack of communication between two nodes, the network will send data to an alternate path. 

Data collected by the wireless sensor network are sent to the coordinator node and transmitted to a FTP server through a GPRS connection. The customers can anytime visualize and graphically represent data, make advanced researches, set up alert systems when reaching threshold limit values and define customized time sample.

The product can be customized according to client's requirements.

The company is looking for financial investors, in order to adavance the technology.

Advantages and Innovations

Advantages and innovations

- Data collection through the installation of a wireless network which is equipped with specific sensors that are read by a specific frequency;

-Data transmission through GPRS/UMTS connection and data saving on a database;

Recorded data is visualized through: • Map with nodes geolocation and ready representation of data space evolution • A numerical format data chart (it is possible to export data to CSV format for post-processing elaborations) • Data charts showing temporal data trade

Early warning via SMS/Email alert in case the sensor cross the thresholds set by user.
