Diseño e implementación de un sistema de monitoreo y control distribuido a través de la nube, de micro-unidades de regulación de humedad y temperatura para invernaderos.

Abstract

The current thesis: “Design and implmentation of a monitoring and distributed control system through the cloud, of temperature and humidity regulation micro-units for greenhouses” is about the implementation of a system that controls parameters of humidity and temperature in a microclimate within a scale-size model of a greenhouse. Fuzzy set system based techniques have been used for this purpose, inferring upon them the control rules that will regulate the climate conditions within the greenhouse. The main objective of this proposal is to evaluate a cloud centralized control system, whose investment cost is considerably low, so that it could become a tool that small and medium scale farmers can afford to use, incentivizing the use of modern crop techniques in order to protect their investment, therefore making their practices more profitable in a sustainable way, in accordance with Well Being plan promoted by the National Government of Ecuador. The reliability of this system is proven with the use of data tracing tools in order to observe that the information is delivered complete and in the proper time through an Internet connection, so that its performance would not largely differ from the one of an application installed within the premises of the process.
