65 STUDENT PROJECTS WITH EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS 2019 IoT Waste Container Monitor Authors: Gustavo García de Zúñiga and Sofía Klein Organization: Municipality of Montevideo The growth of cities and the lifestyles of their residents pose challenges for public services, including the management of household waste collection. This project, developed in collaboration with a team of Electronic Engineering students and the Cleaning Division of the Municipality of Montevideo, arose from the need for more reliable information on the status of the network of waste containers distributed throughout most of the city. The proposed solution consists of an Internet of Things (IoT) system with two components: a series of devices to measure fill levels and detect fires, overturns, or possible human presence inside the container, and to send this data for processing; and a software system for monitoring the sensor network that displays the collected data in a georeferenced format and generates reports to support decision-making. Given the complexity and cost involved in the large-scale installation of this solution, a medium-term objective was set to conduct a pilot test with approximately 100 containers to assess its feasibility. The project consisted of building a monitoring system ready for the pilot test, with the aim of helping to discover and demonstrate the potential of the proposed solution. The resulting product meets the client’s primary needs and enables the rapid implementation of new reports. Degree Program: Systems Engineering Advisor: Diego de León, Eng. SDK Overwatch: Component for banking product management Authors: Ángel Díaz, Ema Marotta, Analía Perrone, and Gonzalo Silva Organization: Evertec This project aims to provide card users with greater control and customization over their banking products, in response to the lack of a product that can abstract all functionalities in a simple way for subsequent implementation. Based on this, the team created an SDK (Software Development Kit) for developers at banking institutions, allowing them to easily integrate functionalities into their existing applications. This component for managing banking products was developed using .NET, Xamarin, and SQL Server. Advisor: Jimena Saavedra, B.S. Degree Program: Bachelor of Science in Systems
