Monitoring System of Microclimate Parameters during Storage of Agricultural Products

Abstract

Monitoring of microclimate parameters in different environments makes a significant contribution to many areas of human activity and production processes. One of them is the storage of agricultural products, where the measurement of microclimate parameters can influence the decision to take appropriate measures and protect the stored products. It is also important to maintain optimal conditions in warehouses to facilitate the process of different chemical and physiological damage. Monitoring systems have been commonly employ in recent years appropriate to the creation of modern computer technologies. This article presents a model of a monitoring system based on the principlet of an intelligent sensor. The system components are based on ultra-low power consumption MSP430 microcontrollers. They use cordless communication to exchange data within a system that has been structured according to the principle of an intelligent converter. User applications from the network can admission the system interface via the HTTP protocol, where a web server can be run on a computer or it can be an embedded web server running on a microcontroller-based device.
