Automatización del sistema de identificación y registro de ganado para el proceso de estabulación en la Empresa COLETMAX S.A. – Esmeraldas

Abstract

The present degree work was carried out with the objective of automating the identification and registration system of cattle in the company COLETMAX S.A. which is located in the town of Tonchigue, of the city of Esmeraldas. The insertion of technological elements waws planned to automate this process, and an artificial vision algorithm was developed using the OPEN CV and Pygame libraries from Python. With this algorithm, it was possible to acquire information from the display of a scale and the distinctive ear tag that carries each animal, in order to direct this information to a database, with the aim of increasing accuracy and reducing time in the collection of information specific to the bovine, and this maintain control of the evolution within the process of muscular growth prior to its commercialization. By analyzing the statistical results of the project implementation, it was possible to see that there is a significant improvement in the control chart and process capacity indicators, with a capability index that shows a significant increase of 1.10 points transforming the process suitable. It is concluded that the luminosity, condition of the animal and the state of the ear tag are factors that influence the information taking of the implementation, which must be considered for the better result. It is recommended for a future study to look for a way to have a greater field of vision to capture the information if it is in any position.
