Aplicabilidade de geotecnologias livres e mapas offline como recurso para coleta de dados e apoio a logística canavieira da usina caeté s/a no município de São Miguel dos Campos - AL

Abstract

The application of geoprocessing and free geotechnologies to support decision making is becoming increasingly common, especially with the use of mobile devices. The objective of this work was to develop a tool through the applicability of free geotechnologies and the construction of offline maps to serve as an aid to decision making in the sugarcane field. Its main focus was to verify the expansion of decision-making power in comparison to the traditional methods used. The study area for application of the developed tool was Usina Caeté S/A, located in the municipality of São Miguel dos Campos - AL. The methodology was based on the acquisition of data in the field through the GPS present in smartphones and in the comparison with georeferenced information of rural property limits provided through the electronic tool (SIGEF) developed by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA). The results showed that the use of the tool provided a better performance of the activities in relation to the traditional methods used and that the techniques are not highly accurate. The implementation proved to be an efficient alternative for the proposed purpose, making it possible to expand the power of decision.
