Desarrollo de un sistema de monitoreo de temperatura y humedad para cámaras de secado de pastas en la empresa Fideos Victoria

Abstract

The pasta drying system used in the company Fideos Victoria is based on increasing the temperature and decreasing the humidity in the drying chamber and therefore the product, being of vital importance to know if the temperature has reached the minimum necessary to ensure that the product is ready for sale. Based on the experience acquired by the operator in responsible for controlling the process, some shortcomings were found in monitoring the drying chambers on site, including the lack of a detailed record of the process. This project focuses on facilitating temperature and humidity monitoring of the drying chambers by the operator as well as the storage of the data captured by the devices for later analysis. As part of this work, a web application was developed in Asp Net Core 3.1 and Micropython was used to incorporate the logic for capturing and sending data from the NodeMCU devices installed in each drying chamber. Asp Net Core facilitated the development both server-side through the Entity Framework for database management, Identity for user management and SignalR for real-time communication, and client-side through the Razor Pages pattern for page generation in which the adaptable user interface for different screen sizes was integrated. The development was done using the XP methodology, allowing the delivery of gradual advances generating a better system reception and adoption by the client.
