Abstract:
The application of pesticides in agriculture is crucial to increase food production and pest control. However, improper application results in high costs and environmental and human health risks. Currently, the importance of innovations in technologies to improve reliability in agricultural spraying systems is recognized. This paper presents a real-time strategy for faults analyzing, when using a flow and pressure sensors. Additionally, a sensor-based method for reconfiguring the control loop using the fluidic resistance is proposed. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach considering a signal pressure sensor when the flow meter fails, ensuring reliability and avoiding interruption of the agricultural spraying process.
