Aplicación web progresiva (PWA) con IOT para el monitoreo de mascotas en tiempo real en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

Currently, stray animals have become a serious problem in the city of Quito, as there are several factors why the population of these animals is increasing. One of the main factors is the loss of pets, where their owners didn’t use or didn’t know the tools to monitor them and keep them safe. This project aims to take advantage of the technology of the Internet of Things or IoT through the low power wide area network or LPWAN Sigfox, which is available in the city of Quito, it is possible to use it for the development of a progressive web application or PWA for real-time monitoring of pets, where users can manage the facilities, medicines, professionals, location and temperature in real time of their pets. To make use of the LPWAN Sigfox, a prototype device for monitoring pets was developed using the Ufox development board manufactured by the Peruvian company Teca, which being based on the Arduino Leonardo board, gave the possibility of incorporating a GPS NEO-6M module to obtain the location and infrared sensor MLX90614 in order to obtain the temperature of the pet, also as a means of protection for these components a 3D box was designed which was printed in polylactic acid filament or PLA. The PWA was developed following the planning, design, coding, testing and deployment phases of the Extreme Programming or XP methodology using two web development tools, where the front-end or presentation layer of the PWA was built using Next.js, which is a framework of the React.js library that facilitates the development of PWAs through simple installations and configurations, the back-end or data access layer of the PWA was built with Spring Boot, which is a technology that allows the development of RESTful web services, which provide speed, security and scalability.
