Diseño e Implementación de un Sistema SCADA para el Monitoreo y Supervisión de la Producción de camarones en una granja ubicada en la provincia del Guayas-Los Ríos

Abstract

The shrimp industry is one of the main economic activities in Ecuador, positioning the country as one of the largest shrimp exporters globally. Despite its success, the sector faces significant challenges, including a lack of technical support and adequate technologies, as well as issues with monitoring and controlling cultivation conditions, which affects shrimp mortality rates. This project aims to develop and implement a SCADA system in a shrimp farm in the Guayas province to enhance monitoring and control of shrimp production. The proposed system will enable real-time supervision of critical water parameters such as oxygen, temperature, pH, and salinity through the integration of sensors, actuators, and PLCs for process automation. The project includes selecting appropriate sensor and actuator systems, configuring the PLC for signal processing and aerator control, designing a telecommunications network for data transfer, and implementing and validating the SCADA system. The implementation is expected to reduce shrimp mortality, improve operational efficiency, and optimize energy consumption. The SCADA system will provide a comprehensive solution to address current deficiencies in shrimp production management, strengthening Ecuador's position in the global market.
