Monitorización sensorizada de un sistema de aprovechamiento de huertos de Olivos (Olea europaea) dispersos de pequeña y mediana escala

Abstract

The production of quality olive oil in parcels with a reduced number of trees (including different species) and a high geographical dispersion is a management challenge. On one hand, the need to adequately control the harvesting time of the fruits, which vary according to the type of tree and its location, and the impossibility of visiting all of them in person in a continuous manner in non-professionalized contexts. In this work, it is proposed to solve this matter using sensors to measure the parameters of the trees' environment -temperature and humidity and salinity of the soil- and ICT management systems –microcontroller processing and radio frequency communications- allow the storage of data for days and download it wirelessly to a mobile phone placed in their environment. This information allows establishing a prediction of the optimal moment of collection. On the other, to be able to efficiently manage these olives (Olea europaea) for low productions or when you want to control the oil production process, we have worked on a model of micro-mill from which is possible to monitor the energy and water consumption that it is required through sensors that can be integrated in the same data architecture of the previous point control.
