Diseño y construcción de un sistema semiautomático de limpieza de ganado vacuno en el sector La Concordia

Abstract

In the current context, the agricultural sector is a strategic activity within national production. However, there is a deficit in the adoption of technologies, which translates into inefficient operational processes with long execution time to perform a task. One of these processes is the cleaning of cattle, generally carried out between 15 and 21 days. This procedure has a common way of being carried out, with a manual knapsack sprayer, which limits its efficiency in time and requires considerable effort on the part of the operator. Faced with this problem, this project proposes a design and implementation of a semiautomatic system for cleaning cattle, which incorporatessensors, controlled spraying technique and mechanisms to assist in the spraying through the use of a controller that helps and efficiently controls the various electronic components that will be carried out during the spraying process. In order to optimize and improve the procedure, with the advantage of reducing physical effort and exposure of hazard liquids, improving working conditions. The feasibility of using mechatronic systems in the agricultural industry will be tested to reduce time and costs. By which, a methodological procedure is applied consisting of research, design and operation tests that allow to verify an adequate execution in the semi-automatic cattle cleaning system. Therefore, it allows to identify how optimal the process is in relation to the previous method
