Description
Summary:In agriculture, if the harvest isn't consumed in short term, proper storage conditions must be assured, usually by monitoring and controlling parameters like temperature and humidity. Our paper presents SiloSense, a novel ZigBee-based architecture for monitoring storage conditions of grain silos with the purpose of guarding them against spoilage and infections. It describes a scalable solution for data acquisition using a network of custom-made boards that are continuously capturing sensor samples and send it for analysis into the cloud. It discusses the engineering problems that were encountered and how we overcame them.
