Sistema de monitoramento remoto de temperatura e umidade no processo de armazenamento de grãos em silos: uma abordagem com IoT

Abstract

For the preservation of grains in silo storage, it is important to have efficient and accurate monitoring of temperature and humidity; otherwise, the quality of the grains will be compromised. In many cases, temperature and humidity monitoring systems during grain storage are still manual, where the person in charge of system maintenance uses a terminal to read the sensors. This research aims to develop a remote monitoring system for temperature and humidity in silos during the grain storage process, implementing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control. The goal is to mitigate the intrinsic deterioration of grains that occurs when there is not efficient monitoring of the internal temperature and humidity of the silo. To achieve this, this study was based on other existing scientific researches that addressed the same problem from different perspectives, using various methodologies. It was also necessary to engage in dialogue with agronomists working in the education sector to understand the challenges in the grain storage stage. Thus, with the implementation of IoT technology, it was possible to develop an agile, accurate, and more efficient monitoring system with real-time data processing and the ability to access the system from multiple devices simultaneously, and from any location.
