A docker image to control the Membrane Distillation (MD) plant located at the IFAPA research centre, as part of the Agroconnect project.

Warning

This project is currently under development and code may be unstable.

Description

The goal is to develop an open-source, virtualized system that includes all the necessary components to produce a sustainable water supply using solar energy, Reverse Osmosis, and Membrane Distillation technologies.

To achieve this, a Docker-based environment has been created for both simulation and real deployment of a web-based SCADA system for the RO+MD unit at IFAPA, using FUXA.

This repository proposes a modular approach to integrating controllers into the network using the MQTT protocol, which is highly efficient and compatible with FUXA.
