Automatización de un sistema de cultivo aeropónico experimental con monitoreo remoto mediante sistemas embebidos para la empresa Asemi

Abstract

In this degree work, an experimental model of vertical aeroponic cultivation, including a remote monitoring system, is developed for the company ASEMI. The model allows visualizing and measuring data from humidity, temperature, pH, level and illumination sensors. A data acquisition PCB board was designed using a Raspberry pi and a remote monitoring interface application developed in Android Studio, which communicate with each other by sending and receiving information through the Firebase real-time database. The smartphone application allows visualizing the sensor measurements so that the user can monitor the operation of the vertical aeroponic crop, it also has on/off buttons for manual and remote control of the system actuators, and access to a camera that transmits live video signal of the implemented prototype. The project controls irrigation on a timed basis, provides artificial lighting to the plants at established times, measures and regulates the pH in the water optimal for plant growth, the flow rate in each PVC pipe of the plantation based on humidity, the placement and mixing of nutrients needed in the water tank.
