Automated monitoring and control system for hydroponic crops.

Mexico in recent years has endeavoured to promote the area of agriculture, existing between 15 and 16 hectares of storm, only 6 million of these are irrigation, limiting the potential production of food that is available. This solution proposes to fully exploit the space and potential of the crops with hydroponics, this means that, the crops will be developed without using land, other substrates can be used (pumice, gravel, volcanic rock, etc.) and provide the appropriate nutrients through a solution dissolved in water, another advantage of this form of cultivation is that, when dripped, the water is recycled and not wasted.
It is going to design and build an automated hydroponic system, for the control and monitoring of the crop, this means that the user can control the nutrients and variables of interest such as (pH, luminosity, temperature, humidity, etc.) at all times Another important point to mention is that there is no space limitation, as it can be had in a house room, it can be done on a large scale. Being a controlled environment is free from the weather and being seasonal crops, this reduces costs and losses, the harvest will be healthier, cleaner and stronger.
Description
The system with which it will have crop profiles or can be made to control the levels of substrates will have a proprietary technology of intelligent control and can be monitored in real-time from any place and device with internet access. Another benefit is that the system optimally manages energy, thus contributing to sustainable low-cost production.
Finally, one of the most important features of this system is that it can be scalable to a hydroponic system for commercial monitoring and control. The idea is to generate a paradigm shift in homes, businesses, and commercial chains, bringing fresh and organic crops at low cost and easy access.
