1. A process for avoiding seed-metering errors in planters, wherein the process comprises the following steps:

  • generating electric power in a metering disk by means of a dynamo;

    monitoring the seed charge directly in the distribution disk of seeds by means of a pre-sensor;

    monitoring the clogging of the seeds in the distribution disk of seeds by means of a post-sensor;

    monitoring obstructions in the seed duct by means of a post-sensor;

    detecting analog signals voltage generates by means of pre-sensor and post-sensor;

    converting the analog signals into digital signals using analog/digital converters;

    processing the digital signals on a processor;

    transmitting the processed digital signals to the central monitoring unit by means of a transceivers RF.
