Implementation of a real-time control and monitoring prototype for a classroom of the Industrial Engineering Faculty using
Zigbee technology

2018), since that space is fundamental for the student's educational
process. (Sánchez Perales & Campos Guevara, 2014)which allows
them to develop skills and assimilate knowledge that contribute to
their professional progress (Navarro, 2003). (Navarro , 2003), (López,
2017).
In Ecuador in the city of Guayaquil, the Faculty of Industrial
Engineering proposed to develop a project with a view to a smart
faculty. (Zapata-Rios, 2018), (Bauman, 2016) with the implementation
of a control and monitoring prototype. (Rodriguez Gámez, 2015),
(Campoverde Ganchala & Arias Tapia, 2008)that measures
temperature and luminosity levels in the classroom. (Aldean Pacalla &
García Ramos, 2019), (Benítez Silva, Ríos Franco, & Estrada Atemiz,
2017), (Arana Cofre & Satán Cevallos, 2019)complementary to that
within the same prototype was added an access control by RFID
optimizing the entry of teachers to the course. (Piedra Arias &
Santacruz Bernabé, 2019)..
With the implementation of this proposed project we propose the
resolution of the existing problems that burden the university
community of the faculty, improving the work environment and
increasing student motivation. (Carranza Mora, Cedeño Calero,
Cedeño Zambrano, & Zevallos Bravo, 2013)and optimizing the entry
of teachers to the classroom.
The present project has an added value which aims to implement this
prototype through Zigbee technology. (Jácome Espinosa & Castillo
Imbaquingo, 2013), (Zambrano Rodríguez, Ruiz Villa, Herrera
González, Gómez Poveda , & Bustamante Alzate , 2015), generating
low energy consumption and the use of wireless communication
devices such as Xbee as last mile devices. (Parra Balda & Torres
Sánchez, 2019), (Fortuño, 2012).
The development of the case study requires the application of
electronic knowledge, in order to design the printed circuit of the
sensors and their connection to the Arduino with the objective of
transferring the data collected from the Arduino to the Xbee. In the
formulation of the practical case it is proposed to send the
temperature, luminosity and access control data collected by the
sensors to the Arduino, these data will be sent to the Xbee which for
the purpose of this project will work as a transmitter node.
