In Cuba, specifically in the agricultural industry, the automation technology is obsolete and even in some cases it does not exist. This is mostly due to the difficult access to the technology and its high cost. In the present work, the development of own automation technology it is presented. It is based on embedded systems as an economically and adequate alternative for its use on the automation of the agricultural industry in Cuba. To achieve this, a search and comparison of the available automation technologies were realized. It took into account, the worldwide industrial technology traditionally used, which is based on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, and the own technology based on embedded systems, developed for example, with a microcontroller. From the search and comparison, it was determined that the development of own technology based on embedded systems is more economical and is considered more adequate for the Cuban agricultural industry conditions.]]></p></abstract>

En Cuba, específicamente en el sector de la industria agropecuaria, la tecnología de automatización es obsoleta e incluso, en algunos casos, inexistente. Esto se debe fundamentalmente al difícil acceso a la tecnología y a su alto costo. En el presente trabajo se presenta el desarrollo de tecnología de automatización propia basada en sistemas embebidos, como una alternativa económicamente viable y adecuada para su uso en la automatización de la agroindustria en Cuba. Con este fin se realizó una búsqueda y comparación de las tecnologías de automatización disponibles, en la que se tuvo en cuenta la tecnología basada en Controladores Lógicos Programables (PLC) y Sistemas de Supervisión, Control y Adquisición de Datos (SCADA) que tradicionalmente se emplea en la industria a nivel mundial, y la tecnología propia basada en sistemas embebidos, desarrollada por ejemplo a partir de microcontroladores. De esta búsqueda y comparación se determinó que el desarrollo de tecnología propia a partir de sistemas embebidos resulta más económico y se considera más adecuado para las condiciones de la agroindustria cubana.]]></p></abstract>
