Automatizacion del proceso de secado de cacao utilizando tecnologia 4.0 con monitoreo online y respaldo con energia renovable.

Abstract

The present document, is the product of the elaboration of a series of steps to give solution to a need that arises in certain population of traders, farmers of the cocoa bean of the department of Arauca, which are affected economically, since its production is not being so profitable, of how it is expected that it was. Therefore, they require an application of current technologies, engineering methods, which increase the competitive level, optimizing the processes they carry out to obtain their production, seeking to improve the quality of the final result of the product, increasing stability in trade and giving quality of life to their families. The design and automation of a machine for the cocoa drying process, conforms an investigation on everything related to the raw material to be processed, its main characteristics that allow the identification, providing essential parameters that will be used in the structuring of the elements that will make up a series of configurations, which will provide an improvement in the performance of the techniques used to perform the work of drying the raw material, cocoa, on this occasion. The series of electrical, electronic and mechanical systems will execute a process that is required by means of advanced electronic technologies, with sufficient capacities to carry out the tasks, in conjunction with information technologies that will allow to give the approach of industry 4.0, as is the current globalization of things with internet.
