ABSTRACT
|
| Modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have evolved into an ever developing digital ecosystem. In such a sophisticated system information is typically transmit- ted through interconnected software and hardware structures, better described as the well-known concept of Internet of Things (IoT). Embedded physical devices are producing data related to the observation of human activities and natural phenomena. The arrival and establishment of IoT technologies have created the methodology of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) as a novel monitoring infrastructure. In the wider context of IoT several nodes can be equipped with specialized sensors that gather physical quantities in accordance to network structures. The sensor and actuator technologies that enable smart solutions into reliable, heterogeneous, wireless networks, especially designed to provide dissemination across countless sensors are embedded in almost everything. Agricultural industry throughout the world is constantly searching to maximize economic, environmental and qualitative benefits of its operation. Secondly, most processes are not utilizing modern automation for effective agro-production. Optimized agriculture as an automated mean of environmental parameters monitoring has exploited novel capabilities presented by ICT. For instance, viticulture is an exquisite procedure related to mesoclimate and soil conditions; thus, it demands control and efficient quality assessment in the process. In this work, we take into account all aforementioned observations and propose a modus operandi for optimized, ICT-based wine production by the assessment of natural conditions during cultivation and harvest. Our ultimate future goal is to establish a Knowledge Base for optimal winery through the exploitation of semantics and related applications on top of efficient environmental monitoring. Being a preliminary attempt to model this broad task, we herein assess the model and architecture of sensing devices and their support capabilities.
