📋 Tender Overview
A group of research professors from the Faculty of Systems Engineering and Informatics (FISI) of the National University of San Martín (UNSM), led by Dr. Juan Carlos García Castro, are developing a research project called "Water monitoring system with IoT technology in intensive tilapia production ponds for better water quality". The objective of which is to prepare a water monitoring system applying "Internet of Things" (IoT) technology, to improve water quality in geomembrane ponds with biofloc intensive tilapia production.
This project was one of the winners of the Contest for Basic, Applied Research and Technological Development Projects at the Teaching Level, funded by the UNSM in the 2022 period, and is developed in the Telematics Laboratory of the UNSM and in the Intensive Production Laboratory of the Ahuashiyacu Fishing Station, having as collaborators the Regional Directorate of Production and the National Institute of Telecommunications Research and Training (INICTEL) of the National University of Engineering.
The aforementioned project is aligned with the San Martín Aquaculture Plan (2014-2023), by "articulating research and innovation actions aimed at improving the competitiveness of regional aquaculture" and will allow the Ahuashiyacu Fishing Station to develop the technological package for intensive tilapia farming, which will serve fish farmers in the region and in this way the National University of San Martín will fulfill its social role.
The professors involved in the research project are, from the UNSM: Dr. Juan Carlos García Castro (general coordinator), Dr. Marco Armando Gálvez Díaz, Eng. M.Sc. Juan Orlando Riascos Armas, Lic. Edwin Augusto Hernández Torres and Dr. Alberto Alva Arévalo; by the Ahuashiyacu Fishing Station: Blgo. Efraín Ushinahua Mendoza y Blgo. Gilmer Raul Montejo Sanchez; and on behalf of INICTEL: Eng. M.Sc. Rubén Acosta Jacinto and Eng. Milton Ríos Julcapoma.
