Sistema WEB de baixo custo aplicado à operação de dispositivos de irrigação

Abstract

The central pivot irrigation model uses the water and chemical products aspersion in a radial manner and ensures a homogeneous irrigation of the terrain within its area of reach. The device counts on a structure which moves over wheels and around a pivot, while driven electrically or hydraulically by a water pump that allows water and chemicals to get through all the mobile tubing length, moving it radially around its center and allowing the objective to be met. The device activation process is often manually controlled, and because of that, in search of better productivity, this work has the goal to develop an automated system able control that process and the simulation of its functionalities. That automation focuses on low cost, which leads to a good accessibility by the rural producers, will offer an online tool for monitoring the area of the terrain, which allows remote interaction with the device if needed through the Internet. To achieve the goals of the project, the RASPBERRY PI™ development platform was used, and as result it was possible to obtain a WEB system capable of fulfilling the proposed according to the simulations, what makes clear the possibility of remote controlling an environment with quality and low costs.
