R2. System Design. INFOPORC, GUCO, Franco y Navarro, and ANCOS are participating in both activities. In the first activity, the initial step will be to design the hardware. To this end, a hardware prototype will be manufactured and laboratory tests will be conducted to ensure its functionality. The expected outcome of this activity is a designed and manufactured hardware prototype, which will serve as preliminary tests to confirm the hardware's basic functionality. Next, in the second activity, the software design will be developed. This consists of a centralized data management platform and the integration of RFID devices with the platform. The software will be developed and tested in the laboratory, verifying that it functions correctly with the hardware. The expected outcome is a functional and centralized data management platform with operational integration of RFID devices and software ready for laboratory testing.
R3. Prototype developed and validated in the laboratory. INFOPORC participates in the first two activities, and INFOPORC, GUCO, Franco y Navarro, and ANCOS in the third. In the first activity, the hardware prototype will be manufactured and laboratory tests will be performed to ensure its functionality. The goal is to obtain a robust prototype with confirmed functionality under controlled conditions, as well as to identify and correct any potential technical faults. In the second activity, the software will be developed and tested in the laboratory, verifying that it functions correctly with the hardware. The objective is to achieve stable software that is properly integrated with the hardware, in addition to validating the data flow and basic usability. During activity 3, a draft of usability protocols and procedures will be prepared; that is, drafts of usage protocols and guides will be created to facilitate the system's usability. Guidance documents for the use and maintenance of the system will be produced, along with clear protocols for operating the system in the field.
R4. Areas for Improvement Identified. In this case, this outcome will be developed solely through an activity lasting approximately two months, with the following participants: INFOPORC, GUCO, Franco y Navarro, and ANCOS. This activity consists of preparing a report outlining the areas for improvement identified during field trials with pigs and sheep. Several individuals from the participating organizations will contribute to this process. The report will compile the areas for improvement detected during the previous trials conducted in pig and sheep production. The result will be a detailed report with technical and functional aspects for improvement, as well as recommendations for optimizations in future versions. It is important to note that this activity involves an in-depth analysis process based on the information gathered during the field trials, which entails reviewing data, observations, and real-world experiences obtained with both species.
R5. System implemented on a pig farm. This outcome is also achieved through a single activity. This activity consists of implementing the system on a pig farm, including the installed system and training. In this case, GUCO and INFOPORC will participate, along with personnel from both GUCO and INFOPORC, as well as TAM. For this activity, the complete system will be installed on a pig farm, and users will be trained on its proper use. The expected outcome is an installed and operational system on the farm, as well as trained and qualified users. To further clarify the scope of this activity, it is important to note that this implementation involves not only the physical installation of the system but also verifying its functionality, adapting it to the actual conditions of the farm, and ensuring that all technological elements meet the specified requirements.
R6. System validated in swine. This result is also achieved through a single activity. GUCO and INFOPORC participate, and it is carried out by personnel from both organizations. The activity consists of conducting field tests of the swine system; that is, field tests will be carried out to evaluate the system's performance and effectiveness on a pig farm. The expected results after its development are the collection of real data on the system's performance and effectiveness, as well as the identification of improvements in its actual use. It is worth noting that validation in swine involves a methodical process in which the system is subjected to real working conditions, allowing its behavior to be observed in everyday farm situations. The field tests not only aim to confirm that the system functions correctly but also to detect possible adjustments, optimizations, or additional needs that can only be identified through direct use.
R7. System implemented on sheep farms. This is again carried out in a single activity. In this case, Franco and Navarro, ANCOS, and INFOPORC are participating, and the activity is being carried out by staff from the participating entities and TAM. The activity consists of installing the system on sheep farms and training users on its operation. The expectation is that the system will then be implemented and functioning on sheep farms, and that users will be trained and qualified to manage it. It should be noted that implementing the system on sheep farms involves a structured process that ranges from the initial preparation of the environment to the final verification of the system's operation under real-world conditions. System installation is not limited to physical placement but also includes configuration, calibration, and verification that all components adequately meet the farm's needs.
R8. System validated in sheep. Again, a single activity involving Franco and Navarro, ANCOS, and INFOPORC, carried out by personnel from all three participating entities. The activity consists of conducting field tests of the system in swine. To this end, field tests will be carried out to validate the system in sheep production and evaluate its performance. The expected results include validation of the system under real-world conditions in sheep production, as well as an evaluation of its functionality and acceptance. Recommendations for final adjustments will also be obtained. It is important to note that validating the system in sheep involves a comprehensive process in which its behavior is analyzed in real-world farming situations, allowing verification of whether it adequately meets the specific needs of the sector. The field tests allow observation of the system's performance under varying conditions, identification of potential limitations, and confirmation of its effectiveness in everyday scenarios.
RD1. Generation of informational content about the Operational Group and the aid received. Three different activities will be carried out: 1. Web dissemination: development of a dedicated website for the Operational Group, updates throughout the project, and publication of Operational Group news on websites (both the project's website and those of the beneficiary members). 2. Social media publication: preparation of press releases and publication of news about the Operational Group, its activities, and results on the social media platforms of the beneficiary members. 3. Dissemination of the Operational Group through other online channels: dissemination of information about the Operational Group and its results to the general public on the Comparte platform of the Spanish Global Compact Network, EU-Farmbook, and AKIS. This will be carried out throughout the duration of the project: initially to publicize the creation and launch of the Operational Group, and throughout the rest of the project to disseminate all activities and news.
RD2. Development of the visual identity and creation of the GO's dissemination materials. Three activities are carried out: 1.
