Desenvolvimento de software para aeração de grãos

Abstract

The current grain production chain in Brazil has been concerned with incorporating new technologies to ensure the success of the processes that occur with its products, from the preparation of the soil, to the delivery of the grain to its customer. Notable is the state-of-the-art technology embedded in precise and increasingly fast seeders, combine harvesters with ground-level harvesting platforms and unmanned aerial vehicles that assist in crop planting and mapping. However there are still some bottlenecks in the process that can cause great damage to the system, one of them is related to the storage of grains in the property. Decision-making for the aeration system often does not follow technical criteria and jeopardizes the quality of stored grains as well as the undesired loss of moisture that causes major losses. The present work proposed the creation of a program through a free program based on the equations of hygroscopic equilibrium using Python programming language to aid in the decision making of the activation of the aeration system for the soy, maize and rice crops, aiming at the proficiency of the operation, using simple software, where it reaches values of humidity close to the one found in the literature, which assures its reliability in the execution.
