Sistema para irradiar cultivos con ondas de las tecnologías LoRa y wifi, que también permita su monitoreo en tiempo real

Abstract

This paper presents the process carried out to characterize a system that allows crop irradiation using LoRa and wifi technologies, while allowing real­time monitoring of several variables. The irradiation subsystem was developed through the use of different modules capable of emitting electromagnetic waves in the required spectrum ranges, specifically 433 MHz and 2.4 GHz, thus providing detailed information on how the packages are formed and how wireless transmission is performed in each of the technologies. On the other hand, the monitoring subsystem was based on the use of sensors and microcontrollers that allow obtaining the necessary variables within the crop. To carry out the assembly and design of both subsystems, several scientific research methods were used, which allowed obtaining accurate information to support and develop each part of the project. At the end of the development of the system, fulfilling all the established objectives, the process of physical assembly of the irradiation subsystem is shown in detail, as well as the design of the data acquisition subsystem. In addition, use was made of various cloud platforms for monitoring and storage of the variables studied. Likewise, the communication protocols used for the transmission of information between the devices and the platforms were studied in depth. Finally, we describe how the system and platforms were implemented, detailing how alerts are generated according to the expectations and environmental restrictions of the crops.
