Um sistema baseado em IoT para detecção e notificação de dano ou furto de colmeias de abelhas

Abstract

Given the extreme importance worldwide for the incessant work of bees and their importance in the environment, economy, health and research in general, it was identified, among others, a serious problem that directly and indirectly threatens them as well as beekeepers, which is the worrying index of hive theft worldwide. Starting from the hive theft problem, this work proposed an IoT solution with a simple architecture, low cost and easy to implement. The developed system has a vibration detection sensor to detect suspicious movements in the hive, with an Atmega328 microcontroller mounted on a board compatible with the Arduino Nano, with a GPS module for the possibility of tracking the hive and with a GSM/GPRS module for sending data, taking advantage of the cellular mobile network infrastructure already in place and still in use in much of the world. The physical device is powered by an internal battery and can receive external power such as from renewable sources. As part of the results, some descriptive analysis was carried out, such as costs, performance of the modules used and battery autonomy used by the device. In general, the work carried out had a great focus on research and theoretical foundation, mainly related to bees and beekeeping, in order to reach a good understanding of the problem in question. And that at the end of the work, the proposed system could bring satisfactory results for the proposed objective.
