In 2013, 85% of the peach production in the Mendoza region (Argentina) was lost because of frost. In a couple of hours, farmers can lose everything. Handling a frost event is possible, but it is hard to predict when it is going to happen. The goal of the PEACH project is to predict frost events by analyzing measurements from sensors deployed around an orchard. This demo provides an overview of the...
This work presents the development of a wireless sensor network (WSN), based on IEEE-802.15.4, in order to be used for frost characterization in precision agriculture by measuring temperature. Our key objective is to reduce the power consumption of the network to the minimum, allowing several measurement points per node and the remote monitoring of the sensors behaviour. For the communication interface...
One of the most important aspects before installing a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a previous study of connectivity constraints that exist in the area to be covered. This study is critical to the final distribution of the sensors, with an important impact in the life of the network by reducing consumption, and on the robustness by contemplating redundancy of paths and sensors. In this paper, we...
