Diseño de un sistema dispensador de alimento para los perros desamparados de la ESPOCH mediante tecnología inalámbrica integrada a una plataforma IoT.

Abstract

The aim of this titling work was the design of food dispensers system to stray dogs of the campus at the Higher Polytechnic School from Chimborazo (ESPOCH) through wireless technology integrated toan loT platform (DACAN). lt deals with an electronic system based on wireless technologies radio frequency identification (RFID) and Wi-Fi. lt comprises by a dispensing module and the loT platform, together enable provide a sufficient quantity of feedingstuff depending on the size and weight of the dog. The prototype receives the card ID placed onto the dog's collar through an RFID reader and sends by wireless to check its recording in the database, if it is associated, activates food and water dispensing mechanisms. The information supplied by the dispensing module is broadcasted to the loT platform through the interconnection with the server k2s01 (FL-US) where weights and alerts data are stored and shown in real time online, also the page has information related to dog food and interactive options to search, update, record and delete data, the two latest manipulated by the administrator. lt was determined that the prototype will work at the FIE-ESPOCH grounds since it covers 37 meters, 3,24 seconds of request delay and it does not present packet loss confirming that the interaction with the loT platform is successful. 1 n analyzing the emitted weights by the prototype, its stability was determined by reporting values that do not exceed 1% by means of the coefficient of variation. lt is concluded that the implemented system from the tests conducted can become a helpful tool for nutritional monitoring of stray dogs. lt is recommended that the system incorporates a subsystem which automatized the leftover food and can be reused.
