Abstract
The advancement of technology makes remote management and monitoring of environmental systems increasingly close, accessible and necessary. For several applications, it is important to have an equipment to gather data and information in a friendly, remotely, and easy-to-access platform. The system that was developed consists of modular telemetry equipment and a server. Its fundamental characteristics are flexible architecture, energy autonomy and remote communication. It is designed and constructed by independent modules, which provide versatility allowing the reuse of the hardware on multiple applications. It enables to rapidly develop a prototype to test an idea. The Arduino platform was used to develop the modules because it is an open software and hardware platform, its philosophy is aligned with the purpose of this project. The server, developed using open software, has databases for storage and a web service for data display and control. The versatility of the equipment was tested in two particular applications: monitoring of beehives sound for environmental pollution control, and determination of the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen present in the water of river courses.
