Traditional procedures for observing plant growth in remote locations have always been carried out manually, which can lead to human errors, lack of standardization, and outdated data, among other issues. This technology addresses these problems through a remote monitoring system composed of a Plant Control Unit (PCU). This unit operates through a series of low-cost sensors installed at the cultivation site.
These sensors collect information that is stored in a Data Logging Control Platform, which allows for easy visualization of the data, from a macro level (entire plantation) to a micro level (each individual sensor). This system standardizes the process, reduces errors, and facilitates decision-making by the administrator, improving the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring plant growth in remote locations.
The Plant Control Unit (PCU) employs the Cayenne system by MyDevices, a free-access platform that allows data logging for up to one year and offers high-speed connectivity. This system facilitates user-friendly and straightforward data visualization, aiding the administrator in decision-making. Additionally, it allows for detailed data analysis at the sensor level, providing a micro-level view. Finally, the platform supports remote operation, enabling its use from kilometers away from the plant location.
