Concepção de um sistema de consumo de água pela internet (IoT) e elaboração de um mecanismo de formatação dos relatórios da Faculdade de Engenharia da UEM via a plataforma LaTeX

Abstract

The IoT (Internet of Things) adds remote communication between hardware and proces- ses, data storage and analytics to traditional automation, and with it remote monitoring and supervision. This technology is, therefore, used in this work, as the core of commu- nications between things (hardware) and processes (protocols and software), as well as for human supervision. The process of controlling the supply and management of water consumption requires constant monitoring on the part of those who supply it, as well as those who consume it. For the supplier, a tool is needed for the efficient management of its resource, water. For the consumer, monitoring aims at 100% availability and lower cost, through water consumption savings. In this sense, throughout this work, on the one hand, a prototype (hardware) was developed, and on the other, a management system (software) for online access (via the Internet) with a Web page that allows you to view water consumption, analyze individual and collectively the consumer’s data, and accor- dingly, manipulate the water supply through an actuator valve coupled to the consumer’s installation. For the development of this system, several programming languages were used, through which various functionalities were included both in the hardware and in the website, coupled to a database, with its data transmitted via the Web. The proposed ex- perimental system, which was implemented and tested, solves the problem of managing the water supply in an autonomous and efficient way, allowing data storage and analysis, remote monitoring and supervision. The system can be applied in various scenarios, both residential and small and medium-sized industrial. At the same time, with the objective of standardizing the presentation of the text of the final works in progress, within the scope of a pilot work by the Faculty of Engineering (FENG), a LaTeX template was created ba- sed on the regulation for the culmination of studies in force at FENG, as well as on the good universal practices in the field. Said template was then successfully used in the pre- paration of this report which, apart from the learning curve, constitutes a corollary of its effectiveness and applicability in the solution intended by the Faculty of Engineering.
