Diseño de un sistema automatizado para invernadero hidropónico de uso residencial.

Abstract

This graduation project focuses on the creation of an integrated urban hydroponic greenhouse within the home, seeking maximum efficiency in space utilization and blending daily life with agricultural innovation. The strategic placement of the greenhouse within the home establishes a direct connection between domestic life and sustainable food production, optimizing resources such as sunlight and daily access. The research has involved a comprehensive review of hydroponic technologies and agricultural automation, assessing everything from NFT hydroponic systems to advanced solutions. The careful selection of technologies has enabled the creation of an efficient hydroponic environment in urban contexts, adapting technological innovations to the specific needs of the project. Regarding the system design, it contributes efficiency and precision to the hydroponic cultivation process. Automated devices optimize growth conditions and demonstrate careful technological integration to maximize system production and efficiency. The culmination of the project has been the creation of an operation and maintenance manual, aimed at facilitating the replicability of the system in urban environments with space limitations. This manual provides clear instructions, allowing even those without previous experience to implement and maintain the project autonomously. The ultimate goal is to democratize the adoption of hydroponic agriculture in urban homes, promoting sustainable and accessible practices for greater food self-sufficiency.
