Lisää tagi | Yhteenveto: | The technological project focused on addressing challenges faced by water councils in Ecuador due to the hand-measurement of water consumption through the implementation of an automatic monitoring system which leads to inefficiencies in terms of time and economic resources, as well as the inclusion of errors. In order to overcome this issue, several objectives have been set aiming to optimize the measurement process and complementarly the billing system. The current hand measurement process has been thoroughly analyzed, and a prototype of a smart meter based on Internet of Things (IoT) and Long-Range Communication (LoRa) technologies has been designed and constructed. The technical and economic feasibility of implementing the automatic monitoring system has also been evaluated. In this project, Waterfall methodology has been followed, which has a sequential and linear project management approach. This structured method has guided the development of this technological proposal from the definition of requirements, design, implementation, until verification or testing. In order to analyze results, work was conducted within the "San Antonio de Aláquez" water council. The most prominent findings from this case study indicate that the maximum transmission distance using LoRa technology is approximately 10 km. Furthermore, the maximum error found in the smart meter was ±1.70%. From an economic point of view and taking into account some considerations, the Return on Investment (ROI) is 54.7% which demonstrates technologically and economically that implementing this technological solution in the water council analyzed is feasible |
