Crop and animal production generate a high level of organic waste that causes negative
effects on the environment and communities. The use of composting processes can improve the
quality of these biowastes. Additionally, the application of technologies such as telemetry and
remote sensors, allows optimizing the transformation of organic matter in a more controlled and
efficient way. The city of Fusagasugá is well known in agriculture. However, it lacks sustainable
management of the organic waste system.
In this study, after a three-dimensional electromechanical design, a prototype reactor to compost
agricultural wastes of Fusagasuga municipality will provide. The capacity of this prototype
reactor is considered to be 20 litres. In order to control temperature and humidity of biowastes in
different working conditions, it is used A PI controller with 3 temperature and a humidity sensors.
With these sensors the compost materials temperature and humidity will remain at 65 °C and
55–60%. By using a special form of temperature sensor placement, the time to oxygenate the
compost materials will be found. Furthermore, this system is integrated by a Human-Machine
Interface (HMI), which allows the supervision and manipulation from a remote access user.
