Title : "AgroSoC: An IoT SoC to improve soil yield"
Photo
Abstract : The Human kind might starve because of the growth of the population and the diminution of the arable land. We could face a food crisis unless technology is applied to agriculture. More food is needed and according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), current agricultural production should be increased by 70% by 2050. The growth of plants depends on several physical parameters such as soil moisture, soil pH, soil temperature, etc. Several technological solutions trying to handle these physical parameters separately have been proposed and implemented, however none of them consider the complete set of parameters and their interaction. The Internet of Things is the efficient approach to handle the complexity of the problem; however, the environment conditions and the nature of the issue would require a solution that considers edge computing and a communication approach, such as LoRa, taking into account the specificity of the agricultural field. This presentation gives an overview of a SoC that is being developed to provide an IoT solution for Smart Agriculture. This SoC measures several physical parameters through sensors, analyzes them and their interaction, and acts according specific algorithms through actuators. A prototype of the system developed on a Synopsys ARC EM Starter Kit is presented as well as the calibrations methodologies used for the chosen sensors. Some preliminary results are also presented.
Bio : Victor Grimblatt has an engineering diploma in microelectronics from Institut Nationale Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG – France) and an electronic engineering diploma from Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (Chile).  He is doing his PhD on IoT for Smart Agriculture at IMS lab, University of Bordeaux. He is currently R&D Group Director and General Manager of Synopsys Chile, leader in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). He opened the Synopsys Chile R&D Center in 2006. He has expertise and knowledge in business and technology and understands very well the trends of the electronic industry; therefore he is often consulted for new technological business development.
He has published several papers in IoT, EDA and embedded systems development, and since 2007 he has been invited to several Latin American Conferences (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay) to talk about Circuit Design, EDA, IoT, and Embedded Systems. Since 2012 he is chair of the IEEE Chilean chapter of the CASS. He is also the President of the Chilean Electronic and Electrical Industry Association (AIE).
