Elaboración e implementación de un prototipo de sistema domótico para la alimentación de aves y climatización de un centro avícola.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to develop and implement a prototype home automation system for the feeding of birds and air conditioning of a poultry center, for this, prior to the development, the own characteristics and requirements of the systems that form a shed were investigated, selecting thus, the instruments and elements necessary for the elaborated prototype to comply with the required parameters of conditioning in terms of humidity, temperature and adequate feeding of breeding birds, then a controller is selected that through Xbee wireless communication devices receives and sends information From a computer, the developed man-machine interface allows the acquisition of data for control and monitoring of the prototype under automatic and manual modes of operation, which implies the manipulation of the temperature parameters, and of all the configured sensor and actuator elements. As a final result of the development of the prototype, the conditioning of variables was obtained under established and required parameters based on the stage of life of the birds in the process of breeding, fulfilling the objective of implementing this home automation system that can be used in the industry to improve production by using reliable systems with low labor and maintenance costs. It is of the utmost importance and advisable to carry out a previous investigation of the environmental factors to which the shed will be exposed, to select the appropriate construction materials and actuators that allow the system to fulfill the desired function, for the initial stage of growth, it must guarantee a precise control of humidity and temperature to reduce the mortality rate at this critical stage of life, therefore, it would be necessary to attach distributed home automation element that would guarantee greater robustness with respect to safety and reliability of the shed system operation.
