Sistema automatizado IOT para riego y monitoreo de plantación de plátano mediante tecnología MESH wifi

Abstract

The graduation project proposes the development of an automated IoT system for irrigation and remote monitoring of a banana plantation located in the Roberto Astudillo parish, Milagro canton, Guayas province. The objective is to optimize the use of water resources through real-time irrigation control. The system, based on humidity, rainfall, and UV radiation sensors, automatically activates a hydraulic pump when it detects minimum moisture levels in the soil, preventing irrigation in case of rain or high UV radiation. IoT technologies and a Mesh WiFi network were used for the collection and transmission of sensor data to the server, enabling remote monitoring of environmental variables. Additionally, the system is powered by solar-recharged batteries, making it a sustainable solution. The main results showed that the system efficiently regulates irrigation, improving water usage in the banana plantation. In conclusion, the use of technological tools facilitates more efficient environmental control, promoting conscious and responsible water management in the agricultural sector.
