Dispensador inteligente de frutos secos basado en arquitectura IoT para producción personalizada orientado a la industria 4.0 para la empresa Lula Organic

Abstract

This research project focused on the implementation of an intelligent dispenser of four varieties of nuts categorized in three different sizes, based on an IoT architecture proposed by the researcher, which serves as a reference model for more IoT projects of interest, because, in the world of IoT, there is no standardized architecture that serves as the basis for projects focused on Industry 4.0. The architecture consists of three layers. The devices layer, which has sensors and actuators that allow the acquisition and visualization of data together with the actuation of mechanisms designed and printed in 3D that dispense the nuts in an appropriate way into a single common container. The data processing layer, which is from Fog computing, since the Arduino Mega microcontroller together with the NodeMCU are in charge of making decisions and sending valid data to the server, which is inside the third and last layer, the layer of services in the Cloud, which consists of multiple web programming files elaborated with knowledge in PHP, HTML, CSS, SQL and JavaScript that together form Web Interfaces so that both the owner of the company , like customers, have access to an IoT visualization environment, the same one that interacts with a database, registering multiple variables such as user data, orders and the values acquired by the smart dispenser sensors. It is expected that the design of this prototype will be helpful to Lula Organic company in terms of improving its services to customers, in such a way that their demand for participation and product customization is satisfied through a pleasant and innovative experience and that is willing to be rewarded with an additional charge in exchange for enjoying it, facts that are supported by the characteristics of Industry 4.0.
