Diseño e implementación de un sistema IoT para el control y automatización de un prototipo de volteadora de compost

Abstract

This work constitutes a significant step forward in the digitalization of the composting process within the agro-industrial sector, as it combines Internet of Things technologies, sensors, actuators, and a graphical interface developed in Node-RED for the management and automation of a compost turner machine prototype. The proposed solution enables real-time monitoring of essential operating variables such as temperature, humidity, and speed, which helps minimize risks related to overheating, moisture imbalance, and failures caused by the lack of continuous supervision. Likewise, by incorporating remote management and digital traceability, decision- making is improved and downtime periods caused by reactive maintenance are reduced, thereby increasing process efficiency. This research aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) by promoting technological innovation and smart infrastructure, demonstrating the usefulness of electronic engineering and the Internet of Things to modernize production processes and move toward more sustainable and efficient models.
