Desarrollo de un centro de acopio automatizado para botellas PET alimentado por energía fotovoltaica

Abstract

This project proposes the development of an automated collection center for PET bottles powered by photovoltaic energy, which aims to generate a contribution to the reduction of the impact on important activities such as recycling and the generation of environmental electrical energy. Integrating new technologies, it is possible to contribute to the different stages of these processes. This project aims to contribute to the recycling of PET plastic bottles, specifically in the area of collection and classification, discovering innovative alternatives based on different engineering disciplines such as: artificial vision, photovoltaic energy, embedded systems, database, interface of users and other mechatronic systems. Interactive improvements with the user are proposed, which are attractive to the general population through a reward system based on points for possible affiliated companies.
