Abstract

Agriculture 4.0 has leveraged the use of various technological resources, such as IoT (Internet of Things), tracking and sensing. However, in crops such as coffee, there is great diversity and complexity of applications and needs of different actors, such as producers (from small to large), exporters and consumers. The development of interactive applications that meet the needs of decision support, production process support, and consumer tracking is fundamental to support the use of resources from agriculture 4.0. This project aims to support the use of Human Centered Design techniques in the development of interactive applications for the coffee production chain using IoT. (AU)
