By Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo MARCAVELICA, Peru – Samán Sector’s organic banana growers seem to face two troubles: the lack of mobile coverage, that leads them to depend on an only operator for making business, and the uncertainty in field parameters those allow them to correct aspects like the irrigation, the fertilization, and even the harvest time. In both cases, their competitiveness is very vulnerable. However, a bunch of seven just graduated engineers from Sullana and Piura could have a technological solution that, at least, solves the field parameters uncertainty issue, specifically the irrigation, by installing sensors connected under web architecture throughout the acres, promising greater productiveness and quality, and optimizing costs. The entrepreneurship is called HidroDatos (HydroData in English), that is also the name given to the system, consisting to measure key indicators as the humidity, the relative (water steam pressure at a specific tempera...

Por Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo MARCAVELICA, Piura – Los productores de banano orgánicodel sector Samán parecen enfrentarse a dos problemas: la escasa cobertura celular, que les lleva a depender de un solo operador para hacer negocios, y la incertidumbre en los parámetros de campo que les permitan corregir aspectos como el riego, la fertilización o incluso el momento de la cosecha. En ambos casos, su competitividad es muy vulnerable. Sin embargo, un grupo de siete ingenieros sullaneros y piuranos, recién graduados, podría tener una solución tecnológica que al menos resuelva el asunto de la incertidumbre de los parámetros de campo, específicamente el riego, instalando sensores conectados mediante arquitectura web a través de las parcelas, prometiendo  mayor productividad y calidad, y optimizando costos. El emprendimiento se llama HidroDatos, que es el nombre que también se le ha dado al sistema, consistente en medir indicadores clave como la humedad, tanto la r...
