Diseño de sistema automatizado hidropónico capaz de analizar las hortalizas y auto sostenerse con aplicación en él agro colombiano

Abstract

This project proposes the development of an automated design for hydroponic vegetable crops, automation is a control system through electromechanical devices that allows to standardize, control and improve processes in various industrial fields, the field in which this work is focused is in Colombian agriculture since this area is one of the most crucial in the country. The design of a reliable process for the manufacturer and the consumer is proposed with a focus on the implementation of 4.0 technology in Colombia. It is not a mystery that traditional agriculture is affected by climate change that constantly occurs on earth due to certain factors that are caused by human beings and consequently make the agricultural sector more and more difficult, making this process more complex; how can you see in his research, (Suárez Perilla, 2019) Currently, climate change has been one of the factors that has prompted the farmer to seek alternatives that allow him to continue with his agricultural work and thus venture into agriculture. food production by improving the techniques for obtaining it and its environmental and economic impact. On the other hand, variables such as temperature, water level and humidity are controlled by automation. These results have a positive impact as field technology is an effective way to reduce costs in the long run. For years hydroponics became the best model for crops, however, these systems present a shortcoming since currently the factors that must be taken into account when creating a hydroponic crop are; aeration capacity, water availability, porosity, particle size, humidity, temperature and PH. The management for these variables is the constant monitoring of the crops by means of operators presenting human failures such as lateness in the revision schedules, errors in the measurements and failure of calculations in the nutrients, thus causing results with different types of quality, mistimes in harvests and lower yields in vegetable production. For this reason, a design is developed that solves the research question of this project, this through analysis of variables such as mechanical in terms of nutrient supply through the Bernoulli principle, electronic with the difference in pH that is found in a variety constant and characteristics of hydroponic crops for vegetables all based on data tables, and schedules for the correct realization.
