Diseño e implementación de un prototipo de telecontrol de una secadora de cacao con interfaz web mediante uso de hardware y software libre

Abstract

Currently there are several cocoa beans dryer machines, that allow farmers to remove humidity from the product tobe sold, however technology hasn’t been exploited to improve the performance of these machines, allowing the user to automate the systems used for drying, giving him the ability to monitor and control at any time the operations required by simply using a mobile device and receive reports of the entire procedures performed in the system. This will improve product quality and will reduce the time required to process cocoa. The objective of this project is to implement such system using open source software and open hardware, such that the final product would be inexpensive.
