Students from Leyte Normal University developed an egg segregation and monitoring system to reduce human errors and workloads in traditional poultry farming.<\/p>\n
Senior Bachelor of Science and Technology (BSIT) researchers exhibited a prototype of their designed poultry egg segregator hardware and their webpage used to monitor data dubbed PESM (Poultry Egg Segregation and Monitoring) during the three-day 2024 Eastern Visayas Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (RSTW) that kicked off Wednesday at the People\u2019s Center and Library.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe local poultry farmers in Tanuan, Leyte, told us during our interviews that they have been experiencing a slow egg-sorting process. This traditional method also caused errors as they only log their inventory data on paper, which can be lost easily,\u201d said Mark Angelo Asoy, the group\u2019s research leader.<\/p>\n
The other researchers are his classmates, Andrew Agna, Maricris Nebril, and Earl Cartney Centino.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our project, they can digitally store, retrieve, download, and generate reports,\u201d Asoy added.<\/p>\n
With the thesis title, \u201cDevelopment of Poultry Egg Segregation and Monitoring: With IoT (Internet of Things) Technology,\u201d developers used Arduino, an open-source electronic platform for building projects, and sensors to implement the egg segregator hardware.<\/p>\n
The system can automatically classify poultry eggs into various sizes and weights, such as small (40 grams\u201349 grams), medium (50 grams\u201354 grams), large (55 grams\u201359 grams), extra-large (60 grams\u201364 grams), and jumbo (70 grams and above), without the need for human intervention and just by using the hardware.<\/p>\n
Poultry farmers and operators can create an account using a registered email. One feature of the PESM system is it allows users to monitor their poultry egg segregation remotely and in real-time.<\/p>\n
\u201cFamers need to adapt to the technological advances to cope with the issues in traditional farming as well as to lessen their workloads,\u201d Asoy added.<\/p>\n
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has invited the group to display their research during the exhibit, as it is one of the studies offering solutions.<\/p>\n
DOST Eastern Visayas acting regional director John Glen Oca\u00f1a said the exhibit provided a platform that showcased the technologies developed by the Department of Science and Technology and its research and development institutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese technologies will open doors of unique opportunities to local government units, state universities and colleges, micro, small, and medium enterprises, industry, and the general public for science and technology-based businesses, providing solutions to the needs of our communities in the region,\u201d Oca\u00f1a said in a speech Wednesday.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s RSTW theme is \u201cBluer and Smarter Eastern Visayas: DOST providing solutions and opening opportunities.\u201d (PNA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
