General Objective: Develop and implement an open source platform (open source type) for a virtual instrumentation remote laboratory accessible through the Internet, free code, focused on low budget; initiating a process of technological disaggregation and reverse engineering, leading to industrial innovation processes that increase the efficiency and productivity of our industry; and thus contribute, in a real and tangible way, to the change of the productive matrix.
Specific objectives:
- Design, program and implement a remote virtual instrumentation laboratory, with low-cost, scalable components, applied to basic measurement variables, for free access via the Internet. The measurable and verifiable indicator for this objective is the open source program that will be made available to Ecuadorian and global society.
- Provide a network tool in which metrological processes can be monitored, through the analysis of physical variables. The measurable and verifiable indicator is the creation of a free access web platform.
- Install and implement a remote virtual instrumentation laboratory in metrological processes, in each of the universities proposing this Project. The measurable and verifiable indicator for this objective is the number of laboratories installed and in operation in each of the universities proposing this Project.
- Use virtual laboratories for the training of future technicians, technologists, engineers and scientists in key challenges related to the integration of metrology technologies and virtual instrumentation. The measurable and verifiable indicator for this objective is that the virtual laboratories are serving as support in at least three training subjects in instrumentation and metrology.
- Disseminate research in national and international conferences, generating at least one publication in reports or indexed specialized journals. The measurable and verifiable indicator for this objective is the publication.
- Form a Network of New Instrumentation Technologies that allows the integration of researchers, teachers, undergraduate and postgraduate students in interdisciplinary research dynamics that promote the development of critical skills, discussion and collaborative work essential in a context of transformation that points to a society of the knowledge. The measurable and verifiable indicator for this objective is the Network of New Instrumentation Technologies formed and in operation with at least the three universities proposing this Project.
