RFID e IoT en la agroindustria - Alfredo Arnaud Maceira - IEEE Uruguay
New technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or the Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocols and hardware embodiments, are rapidly changing production systems within the agribusiness from cattle, pigs, poultry industries, to intensive agriculture, timber industry or fish farms and fisheries. The main technologies and a survey of the state of the art will be presented first. Then, recent industrial developments will be presented from inside, like an ISO11784/85 compliant portable RFID reader connected to a cloud-based cattle information system, a RTU to process acoustic signals for illegal logging detection, or a LoRa based oestrus detection platform for dairy farms. Starting with these examples, the main emerging technologies for the IoT in suburban areas are discussed (LoRa, Sigfox, RPMA, NB-IoT among others) that will allow to address the opportunity and the need for long-range micro-power devices, in large quantity but low bandwidth, for the agribusiness.
