Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can facilitate the preventive conservation cultural heritage (CH) by enabling management data collected from electronic sensors. This work presents an IoT architecture for this purpose. Firstly, we discuss requirements artwork standpoint, acquisition, cloud processing and visualization to end user. The results presented in focuses on most critical aspect architecture, which are sensor nodes. We designed a solution based LoRa Sigfox produce minimum impact...

The environment in livestock buildings must be controlled to ensure the health and welfare of both workers animals, as well restrict emission pollutants atmosphere. Among generated inside these premises, carbon dioxide (CO2) is great interest terms animal ventilation control. use inexpensive sensors means that complete systems can designed with a number located around building. This paper describes study suitability multipoint simultaneous CO2 operating wireless sensor network, which was...

Abstract The effective implementation of preventive conservation strategies requires tools to continuously measure the environmental conditions which cultural objects are exposed. In this sense, European Horizon 2020 project CollectionCare aims provide an affordable service for individual focused small museums with limited budgets. Although use data loggers has been a must in past, new deployments tend wired and wireless sensors that real-time information ability instantly analyse data,...

Communications between two autonomous vehicles has been always an important challenge, especially when one of the is intended for conducting submerged navigation most its operational time. Underwater communications become in that case common and feasible way allowing data trasfering underneath sea surface. Considering low cost final vehicle as main features concept this project, a power low-cost acoustic modem initially environmental sensor applications adopted. With purpose increasing at...

Adequate thermic conditions are required for the preventive conservation of artworks, but such optimum cannot always be achieved in historical buildings as ancient churches. In those cases, it is interest to assess potential risk punctual changes indoor environments that can harmful artworks. These assessed by means a microclimate monitoring system comprised set energy-efficient wireless sensors connected cloud using IoT techniques. This approach was followed at baroque church Saint Thomas...
