Projeto de automação modular para controle de recursos na produção de hortaliças

Abstract

This work brings the development of a product design, based on the methods and concepts of conceptual and detailed design, directed to the design of a system of automation of greenhouses with indoor and modular planting. The problem in question is the inexistence of a product with the purpose of performing the task proposed by this work. The purpose of this work is to solve this existing demand through the elaboration and testing of a modular automation project to control resources in the production of vegetables. The main objective of this work is to develop an automation system design that has the ability to automatically run vegetable production in greenhouses. As a method used, the experimental research was done, based on the information collected in the bibliographic review. With the method used, general theory of conceptual design and detailed design, a test greenhouse was developed to follow up and measure the results achieved. As a conclusion, considerable reductions in the use of resources were achieved, of 23.4% in electric energy consumption and 16.8% in water consumption.
