Resumo
A atividade vitivinícola no Alto Douro Vinhateiro tem feito com que, cada vez mais, existam empresários decididos a apostar na produção de vinho nesta região. Apesar do despovoamento do território e da consequente falta de mão de obra, tem surgido uma nova economia e uma nova forma de olhar para os socalcos do Douro, mais voltada para a utilização da tecnologia, que estabelece novos ritmos de vida e influencia o quotidiano das gentes desta região. Apesar dos meios rurais serem cada vez mais desertificados, as pessoas que neles habitam têm se vindo a acostumar à utilização de novas tecnologias, como por exemplo os smartphones, o que permite que sejam desenvolvidas aplicações móveis para auxiliar essas pessoas na gestão das tarefas diárias das vinhas e desta forma colmatar a falta de mão de obra. É neste contexto que surge a ideia da criação de uma plataforma móvel para a gestão de dados em vinhas. Um sistema que permite a gestão/monitorização remota das vinhas e da atividade vitivinícola nelas desenvolvida, com a utilização dos smartphones. A deteção de anomalias (como por exemplo um bardo caído numa vinha), o agendamento de trabalhos a realizar (como por exemplo a vindima) ou até mesmo a delimitação de parcelas que contém uma determinada casta são tarefas de gestão/monitorização das vinhas que exigem a presença diária de equipas no terreno para registar e garantir que essas tarefas são realizadas. Com esta aplicação para dispositivos móveis, as pessoas que diariamente trabalham no terreno podem fornecer dados aos responsáveis pelas vinhas e estes poderão tomar decisões de gestão, com base nesses dados, sem terem de se deslocar ao terreno. Por outro lado, esta aplicação dá ainda a possibilidade aos trabalhadores de terem uma visão mais alargada dos trabalhos que têm para desenvolver de modo a poderem coordená-los da melhor forma possível, concentrando os recursos disponíveis nos locais aonde são realmente necessários
The wine industry in Alto Douro wine region cause that more and more entrepreneurs determined to bet on wine production in this region. Despite the depopulation of the territory and the consequent lack of manpower, a new economy and a new way of looking at the terraces of Douro have emerged, more focused on the use of technology, which establishes new rhythms of life and influences the daily life of people of this region. Although rural areas are becoming more and more desertified, the people who inhabit them have become accustomed to the use of new technologies, such as smartphones, which allows the development of mobile applications to assist these people in the management of the daily tasks of vineyards and thus to fill the lack of workforce. It is in this context that emerges the idea of creating a mobile platform for data management for vineyards. A system that allows the remote management/monitoring of vineyards and the winemaking activity developed in them, with the use of smartphones. Detection of anomalies (for exemple, a vine overturned in a vineyard), the scheduling of works to be carried out (for exemple, harvesting) or even the delimitation of parcels that contains a certain kind of wine variety are tasks of management/monitoring of the vineyards that require the daily presence of teams on the ground to record and ensure that these tasks are carried out. With this application for mobile devices, people who daily work in the vineyards can provide data to those that are responsible for the vineyards and they can make management decisions based on that data without having to go to the ground. On the other hand, this application also gives workers the possibility to take a broader view of the work they have to develop so that they can coordinate them as best as possible, concentrating the available resources in the places where they are really needed.
