Implementace distribuovaného systému pro sledování hospodářských zvířat

Abstract

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a distributed system for livestock tracking using GNSS and LoRaWAN wireless technology. The goal was to create a functional prototype capable of recording the animal’s position and securely transmitting the data to a server, where it is stored, displayed, and further processed. The thesis analyzes commercially available solutions and compares technologies applicable to similar use cases. Based on this analysis, a custom solution was proposed, built on a Raspberry Pi Zero W microcomputer, a GNSS module, and LoRaWAN communication. The server-side infrastructure uses the ChirpStack stack, a PostgreSQL database, and a web application developed in the Flask framework. The system was subsequently tested and proved to be functional, meeting the requirements for decentralized operation. The work also includes user and developer documentation.
