Resumo: | The need to increase productivity in daily activities has been contributing to the development of new systems that can optimize those tasks. Within the agricultural sector, IoT solutions are allowing the autonomous monitoring of crops and animals, reducing human effort and, consequently, the cost of the final product. One of those solutions was developed under the scope of the SheepIT project, which is an animal monitoring system developed to remove weeds in vineyards by controlling the behaviour of herds. To do so, each animal is equiped with a sensorand actuator-based device (collar), which monitors and conditions its actions. The information these devices collect is periodically forwarded to an aggregator node (gateway) through fixed nodes spread around the pasture area (beacon), where is then processed and uploaded to a remote computational platform via the Internet. However, these animals typically move around extensive areas with poor or non-existent ground network coverage, which inhibits the proper communications operation of such system. This work aimed to mitigate the common lack of coverage in rural areas. To do so, a satellite communications interface was integrated into the SheepIT project and, consequently, the messages exchanged by the system were adapted and optimized to meet the constraints of this new technology. These modifications extend the SheepIT project to be able to operate in scenarios where ground network coverage is not available. |

Dentro do sector agrícola, soluções de IoT têm permitido a monitorização autónoma de plantações e animais, reduzindo o esforço humano e, consequentemente, o custo do produto final. Uma dessas soluções foi desenvolvida no âmbito do projeto SheepIT, um sistema de monitorização animal desenvolvido de forma a remover espécies infestantes em vinhas atráves do controlo do comportamento de rebanhos. Para isso, cada animal está equipado com um dispositivo com sensores e atuadores (collar), que monitoriza e condiciona as suas ações. A informação recolhida por estes dispositivos é enviada periodicamente para um nó agregador (gateway) através de nós fixos espalhados pela área de pasto (beacon), onde é então processada e transferida para uma plataforma computacional remota atráves da Internet. Todavia, estes animais deslocam-se tipicamente por extensas áreas com cobertura de rede terrestre fraca ou inexistente, inibindo o correto funcionamento de tal sistema. Este trabalho visou mitigar a ausência de cobertura comum em áreas rurais. Para tal, uma interface de comunicações satélite foi integrada no projeto SheepIT e, consequentemente, as mensagens trocadas pelo sistema foram adaptadas e otimizadas de forma a responder às limitações desta nova tecnologia. Estas modificações extendem o projeto SheepIT para operar em cenários em que a cobertura de rede terrestre não está disponível.2022-10-25T10:48:00Z2022-06-30T00:00:00Z2022-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/34980engRainho, Raquel Andradeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T12:07:28Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/34980Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:06:09.313621Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

The need to increase productivity in daily activities has been contributing to the development of new systems that can optimize those tasks. Within the agricultural sector, IoT solutions are allowing the autonomous monitoring of crops and animals, reducing human effort and, consequently, the cost of the final product. One of those solutions was developed under the scope of the SheepIT project, which is an animal monitoring system developed to remove weeds in vineyards by controlling the behaviour of herds. To do so, each animal is equiped with a sensorand actuator-based device (collar), which monitors and conditions its actions. The information these devices collect is periodically forwarded to an aggregator node (gateway) through fixed nodes spread around the pasture area (beacon), where is then processed and uploaded to a remote computational platform via the Internet. However, these animals typically move around extensive areas with poor or non-existent ground network coverage, which inhibits the proper communications operation of such system. This work aimed to mitigate the common lack of coverage in rural areas.
