Vermicompost production monitoring and the internet of things

Abstract

This article presents the results obtained by implementing an application with an architecture based on the Internet of Things, applied to the production of red California earthworm, using an interface with which it is possible to monitor and collect data on temperature, humidity and PH with sensors that allow recording the necessary data. For the implementation, an experimental module was built in which the temperature and humidity variables were monitored, with the data obtained from the sensor measurements, the constant changes in temperature (between 20 to 29 ºC) and humidity (from 35% to 50%) were observed, This information made it possible to keep a weekly plan in which irrigation, aeration and compost mixing were attended to in a timely manner, reducing time, cost and human labor in the production of the red California earthworm and maintaining the reproduction of the red California earthworm in optimal conditions.
