Descripción del proyecto
ORGEVINE aims to reduce water and phytosanitary chemicals usage as well as enhancing production yield in the wine industry by developing a network of wireless autonomous sensors that will provide real time images of key field parameters such as temperature and humidity. This will be achieved by taking our patented non-toxic thermoelectric materials into prototype organic thermoelectric generators (OTEGs) that will power the low-cost sensors. By taking advantage of the ubiquitous renewable energy source that is the temperature difference between soil and air, the sensors will become self-powered, thus avoiding a major bottleneck in the Internet of Things, i.e. the costly battery replacement. This interdisciplinary project will constitute a key enabling step in the broad field of precision agriculture, as well as environment conservation (e.g. through forestry fire prevention).
