Background of the invention

Agriculture in general has always been quite abandoned in terms of technological development. The majority of technological advances have been developed in the industry transformer more than in the basic agriculture itself.

The problem of large farms that they can have up to multiple and different owners is that they are quite difficult to control in a homogeneous way and almost impossible to systematize by traditional means.

Many attempts have been made to control and systematize farms, from large blackboards with data that each farmer provided and whose data were going updating and modifying by the simple procedure of deleting the previous information, going through the parts filling systems newspapers that were grouped together to later compile the results, to the latest and most sophisticated means of control of farms with the help of satellites that offered a vision of the situation of farms in real time.

But none of these systems has achieved a satisfactory performance.

Manual methods require the farmers a daily effort and dedication that most do not are willing to assume, so this type of system has not fructified

Likewise, in those places where it has been achieved minimal collaboration, comparing different points of view, priorities and even the objectivity of who think, it has also served to discard these methods of control.

The methods for large surfaces based on photos from satellites get a perfect knowledge of the real situation, but not being interactive, it stays in pure timely information, which, however perfect, does not allow punctual modifications of the work, the precise information of each grouping and plant to the operator and the fluid transmission and in both directions between the farmer / operator and the centers decision technicians.

And it is precisely all these functions that Solve the invention we advocate.

The invention that is recommended controls plant per plant each of the groupings, the groupings in their together, it allows a smooth transfer of information with the decision centers and an effective transmission of orders from the decision centers, as well as a detailed knowledge of the global situation at all times, so it becomes the most modern and effective farm control instrument which is known so far and the most effective method until Time to optimize production.

Object of the invention

The invention to which the present refers memory, media and control procedure for grouped farms, with the aim of optimizing the production, characterized in that one of the main elements for plant control it is an identifying label located in each of the plants. This identification tag It can be applied to each plant by embracing it by a belt.

This belt, conventional, of adequate size to the size of the plant in all its growth phases and of Conventional material adapted to its function, must be placed in that part of the morphologically most suitable plant.

This conventional material belt will be different colors according to the groupings, and will always carry the label corresponding to the plant in question. This tag It should be able to be read by radiofrequency procedures.

The reference belt can also have of a receptacle where to store a microchip with information, equally susceptible to being read and manipulated by procedures of radio frequency.

In this way, in each grouping, each plant will fill a belt of the same color and with its label individual.

It could be considered how many groupings consider convenient and although each plant has its label on the belt, the microchips are only one per group, since it is the item that will store all the information corresponding to said grouping.

The operator / farmer will carry a device PDA type electronic control, able to read the labels of each one of the plants and intercommunicate with the chip of each grouping, by means of radiofrequency.

This way the farmers will be able to would record the work done in each plant, identifying said plant by means of a label, by means of radiofrequency.

On the chip of each cluster is where you could Include the relevant data of the exploitation and the work relevant to perform, for example, in the work of subscriber is enter the number of kilos of fertilizer used per plant and per group.

All these data collected by the farmer with Your electronic control device (PDA) will be turned over in a Centralized System, to which the farmer is associated, so each farmer can verify in the system the state in which they Find each of its plants and all of them.

All this information provided by the PDA's farmers will be conveniently processed by the System.

The Centralized Management System will count at your Once with the following subsystems:

The subsystem of management, which with the information received and properly evaluated by the experts decides the actions on the plants.

The subsystem of execution, which interrelated with the PDA'S of the operators Farmers transmit the relevant orders.

The subsystem of information, which can issue real-time reports on plant and group situations as well as compliance with orders and actual production situation.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The invention that is recommended, means and control procedure of grouped farms, it characterized by being constituted by a series of plants (1) as base element.

These plants are gathered in groupings (2). Each grouping is a set of plants that belong to the same owner and / or have identical characteristics.

For the control of plants (1), each of they are provided with an identification tag (5). This identification tag (5) can be applied to each plant by hugging it by a belt (3).

This belt (3), conventional, size adequate to the size of the plant in all its growth phases and of material adapted to its function, must be placed in that part of the plant more morphologically suitable.

This belt (3) of suitable material will be of different colors according to the different groupings (2), and will carry Always the label (5) corresponding to the plant in question. This RFID tag, that is, must be able to be read by radiofrequency procedures

The reference belt (3) can also have a receptacle to store a microchip (4) with information, equally susceptible to being read and manipulated by radiofrequency procedures

In this way, in each grouping, each plant will wear a belt of the same color and with its label individual.

How many clusters (2) could be considered consider convenient and although each plant (1) bears its label in the belt (3), the microchips (4), usually only one per grouping, since it is the element that will store all the information corresponding to said grouping.

The operator / farmer will carry a device electronic control (6), PDA type, capable of reading the labels of each of the plants (1) and intercommunicate with the microchip (4) of each grouping (2), by means of radiofrequency.

This way farmers can register the work done in each plant (1), identifying said plant by means of a label (5), by means of radiofrequency.

In the microchip (4) of each cluster (2) is where the relevant data of the exploitation and the relevant work to be done, for example, in the subscriber's work enter the number of kilos of fertilizer used per plant and by grouping

All these data collected by the farmer with Your electronic control device (6) (PDA) will be turned over in a Centralized Information System (7), to which the farmer is associated, so that each farmer can verify in the System (7), each and every one of the data related to each of the plants and all of them.

All information is obtained and updated by the spill of data that farmers carry out from their electronic control devices (6) (PDA'S).

All this data will be conveniently processed by the System (7) according to the guidelines in each moment the experts introduce, that with their experience and total knowledge of the situation, they are willing to take the best decisions to optimize production, objective end of all agricultural exploitation.

The Centralized Information System will count to at least with the following subsystems:

The subsystem of management (7.1), which with the information received and conveniently evaluated by the experts decides the actions on the plants.

The subsystem of execution (7.1.1), issues the appropriate orders to each plant and to each grouping and that being interrelated with the PDA'S of the farmer operators transmit the orders relevant.

The subsystem of information (7.2), which can issue real-time reports on plant and group situations as well as compliance with orders and actual production situation.

The System (7) as we have seen, will carry out the production optimization with the help of subsystems, being all connected interactively, but having an information Global situations.

Being the System (7), an interactive system and double address, all this information is being received and that It is duly processed by the experts, allows to make decisions in real time, and send the management subsystem (7.1) the corresponding order, which will be properly implemented in the groupings (2) by interrelation of the execution subsystem (7.1.1) and the producer, who will receive these orders in his electronic control device (6) (PDA), which in turn will leave dump on the chips (4) of each cluster (2) so that any operator knows exactly what his performance should be in each time and degree of compliance with the orders given each time.
