Résumé:
New technologies like Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) or the Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocols and their hardware embodiments, are rapidly changing production systems within the agribusiness from cattle, pigs, poultry industries, to intensive agriculture, forestry or fish farms and fisheries. Firstly, mainstream technologies and a survey of the state of the art will be presented. Then, some recent developments will be presented from inside, like an ISO11784/85 compliant portable RFID reader connected to a cloud-based cattle information system, a RTU to process acoustic signals for illegal logging detection, a temperature-humidity(THI) sensor to monitor the impact of heat stress in cattle, a micropower estrus detection platform for dairy farms, or a low-power A-GPS geolocation device for animals. Starting with these examples, the main technologies for the IoT in rural areas are discussed and compared, like LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT, RPMA among other LPWANs, edge-AI and micropower edge-computing, battery power management circuits, RFID based sensors, modern geolocation technologies, that will allow to address the opportunity and the need for the massive deployment of sensors within the agribusiness. Particularly, power consumption issues and battery requirements are examined in detail. We are in a hinge moment where some technologies will be adopted, thus at the end we discuss emerging technologies like LPWAN-based geo-localization, RAIN-RFID sensors, satellite IoT, AI, among others and we venture to make some predictions about the future of IoT in farms and food logistics.
Note biographique: Dr. Alfredo Arnaud is with Universidad Católica del Uruguay, where he started uDIE research Lab in 2005 (http://die.ucu.edu.uy/microdie). He is the co-founder of three technology companies: BQN in 2004 (http://www.bqn.com.uy) designing and providing electronics & SW for the agribusiness, Chipmate in 2009 and ABM in 2018 (https://www.abmsolutions.com.uy/) aimed at the design of ASICs for medical devices among others. For the industry, Dr. Arnaud participated in projects in the development of electronic devices and ASICs for companies in Uruguay, Brazil, Canada, United States, Belgium, and India.
