Abstract

O projeto SheepIT consistiu no desenvolvimento de um sistema para a utilização de ovinos para a remoção de espécies infestantes, garantindo a segurança de frutos e folhas. Para controlar o rebanho, foram desenvolvidas coleiras compostas por sensores e atuadores que monitorizam o comportamento animal e o condicionam. Através da análise dos dados dos sensores presentes nas coleiras, caso o animal esteja a alimentar-se das videiras, é-lhe aplicado um estímulo, inicialmente sonoro, mas que, em caso de persistência, passa a um estímulo elétrico. As coleiras comunicam periodicamente com nós fixos de uma rede e estes com uma gateway. A informação, após processada pela gateway, é enviada para uma plataforma computacional residente na Cloud de forma a poder ser tratada e disponibilizada ao utilizador na forma de um website. No âmbito desta dissertação é proposto um sistema de geração de alarmes através da análise do comportamento dos animais em Tempo-Real. O sistema desenvolvido permite reduzir o esforço necessário para vigiar os animais durante o pastoreio, notificando o responsável pelo rebanho através de uma plataforma web local, via Email e SMS. Os alarmes implementados permitem ao utilizador endereçar as seguintes situações: pânico dos animais, bateria baixa nas coleiras ou nos faróis, detetar ausência de comunicações por parte das coleiras, identificar se os animais cometeram um elevado número de infrações, averiguar se um animal ficou sem coleira e possibilitar a deteção de possíveis problemas no hardware equipamento.

The SheepIT project consisted in the development of a system to deploy sheep to remove weeds while ensuring the safety of fruits and leaves. In order to control the flock, collars composed of sensors and actuators were developed. These collars monitor and condition the behaviour of the sheep. Through the analysis of the data in the collars' sensors, and should the animal be feeding of the vines, a stimulus is applied. Initially, this stimulus is auditory but if they persist in this behaviour, an electric stimulus is applied. The collars periodically communicate with fixed nodes of a network, and these nodes then communicate with a gateway. The information, after being processed by the gateway, is sent to a computing platform, lodged in the Cloud, which allows it to be treated and made available to the user through a website. In the scope of this thesis, a system to generate alarms is proposed through the analysis of the animal's behaviour in Real-time. The developed system allows the reduction of the effort necessary to keep watch over the animals during the pasturing season since the flock' shepherd is notified through a local web platform, email and SMS. The alarms which were implemented allow the user to address the following situations: animals' panic, low battery in the collars or beacons, absence of communications from the collars, identification of animals who committed a high number of infractions, discerning if an animal is collarless and allowing the detection of possible hardware malfunctions.
