Desarrollo de un sistema informático para la automatización de cultivos hidropónicos en la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

This research aims to help the agricultural sector by facilitating the use of low-cost technology for the automation of its production. This research aims to provide a technological contribution to the updating of existing cultivation methods, reducing the attention needed for the cultivation of food and maximizing production by ensuring high quality in products, in turn facilitating the implementation of this type of technologies due their development with low-cost components. The present project has a practical affinity in the areas of Systems Engineering, Electronic Engineering and Agricultural Engineering because through the connection of electronic components can be made measurements that allow to obtain a general overview of state of the crops, the same ones that through a developed software can be visualized through a website that can be hosted on a server from which you can see the interactions that the system has. Thus, ensuring the optimal development of a crop with adequate parameters. This solution is based on the research line of Software Development, which is based on the development of a system, in this particular case a site was developed capable of receiving information on measurements obtained by electronic components to be visualized with events that allow the control of these. The main beneficiaries of this project are the people within the agro-producing sector, because of the low cost of development they can take it as a help to optimize their current farming methods.
