POIANA
POIANA is a system for monitoring agricultural areas based on a platform maintained at an altitude of 50-100 m by a helium aerostat. The platform is equipped with sensors for remote observation of crop and soil and for environmental monitoring. It also serves as a data collection node from IoT sensors on the ground to measure soil moisture and environmental evapotranspiration demand. Collected data are processed on board and transmitted to a ground station to be used to control on-farm irrigation. The system, self-powered by solar panels, is made upon open source logic, easy to install and with minimal maintenance requirements.
Università di Pisa
