Teleagro’s telecommunications architecture - Georeferencing and detection of bovine cattle zeal

The efficiency of a productive sector is measured at the regional level by the ability to fully supply the domestic market and generate surpluses that allow it to export, currently Colombia has three free trade agreements that would allow it to export meat, with the United States, the European Union and Canada, however, we are talking about economies with a technician bovine production sector, in some cases with the compensated basket, or subsidized production, with superior infrastructure and an exchange rate in their favor, therefore the technological lag in the department the possibility of accessing international markets would be increasingly remote. This article shows the design of the architecture of applied technology, in a sector of high relevance in Colombia

Monitoring system of environmental variables for a strawberry crop using IoT tools

This research work is aimed at strengthening the resources that farmers have for crops management of pests and diseases in a digital way using internet of things through the development of a prototype. It can obtain important information of variables within a strawberry crop such as Relative Humidity, temperature and pH. These data are processed and received by means of protocols in real time. These devices allow managing the information of different variables through communication among sensors. This study presents the most critical characteristics of the strawberry by using the data collection of an IoT system. In this way the initial results can demonstrate that the system yields important information for the appropriate management of strawberry crop production

A proposal for a technological surveillance unit aimed at regional competitiveness

Knowing and monitoring the market environment and global technological trends can contribute to better decision making in competitive intelligence. This research proposes the design of a technological surveillance unit for the construction materials sector of the department of Sucre, Colombia, through the identification of technological gaps and reference models. The research was developed methodologically through the development of a theoretical framework for reviewing scientific literature, diagnosis and identification of technological gaps in the sector and subsectors through semi-structured interviews and direct observation, the design of the surveillance unit through the needs captured from the sector and a proposal of structure and governance for the actors involved in the process. An intentional sample of 21 companies from the different subsectors of the construction materials sector was taken, revealing as results technological gaps in each of them and absence of R&D& I processes in most organizations
