Sistema embarcado para o controle da distribuição longitudinal de grãos em semeadoras

Abstract

It seems reasonable to take into account that food production and environmental preservation, not just any of them in isolation, are prerequisites for the very existence of the human species. From this perspective, it is evidenced that any strategy of environmental preservation must, necessarily, also consider the strategy of food production, and vice versa. The challenge of technology-based companies is to create new solutions that contribute to an increase in food production, with a reduction in the application of inputs, and without new areas being added to agricultural production. Although this new vision of agricultural production has contributed significantly to raising the production of food and renewable fuels in Brazil and the world, there are still gaps to be filled. In this context, this work presents the development of an embedded system for grain seeders, which consists of replacing the drive system with gears and chains of seed distributors by an electromechanical system in an efficient, whose general characteristics differ from the other forms and models of actuators of seed and fertilizer distributors, widely known by the current state of the art. At the end, it is presented a case study, whose displacement value in each sowing line is adjusted by a displacement calculation method, homogenizing the seed distribution in the contour planting.
