Abstract:
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 farm-area-network based estrus detection platform for dairy farms, a THI wireless sensor to monitor heat stress in livestock, or a low power geolocation device for animal tracking. Starting with these examples, the main emerging technologies for the IoT in rural areas are discussed (LoRa, Sigfox, RPMA, NB-IoT, RFID based sensors, among others) that will allow to address the opportunity and the need for the massive deployment of LPWAN micropower wireless devices, for the agribusiness.
