Diseño de un sistema de control y monitoreo para el riego de cultivos de arroz en Daule mediante bombas eléctricas.

Abstract

The presented work focuses on designing a control and monitoring system for electric pumping irrigation in rice crops in Daule, Ecuador. The main objective is to develop a technological solution that improves the efficiency and sustainability of rice production, optimizing the use of water and energy, critical resources in agriculture. The proposed system integrates soil moisture sensors, ambient temperature meters, and electrical energy measurement devices. These components are connected to a centralized control platform that allows continuous data collection in real time. This collection is essential to better understand soil and environmental conditions, facilitating informed decisions about irrigation management. In addition, the system allows active control of irrigation parameters, allowing users to adjust and optimize water and energy use according to the specific needs of crops at different growth stages. This dynamic adjustment capability is key to minimizing resource waste and maximizing agricultural productivity. Simulation-based tests will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the system in terms of resource savings and productivity increases. The results will provide a solid foundation for the implementation and scalability of this technology in other agricultural regions with similar needs.
