Diseño y producción de un elemento que facilite el traslado de las naranjas recolectadas desde el árbol hasta el punto de acopio en cultivos no tecnificados.

Abstract

The health of workers is related to various difficulties that trigger skeletal muscle pathologies as a result of different activities, such as those derived from rural work on non-technical farms, one of them is manual orange harvesting. This activity lacks minimum standards for optimal development in the work area, which allows building a product that provides this process in non-technical crops. However, there are different methodologies for harvesting oranges, which is why in Industrial Design we analyze different strategies that allow us to identify processes and solutions to the problems that arise every day during the work day. Therefore, it was identified that in non technical crops the manual harvesting process is used, because they still do not have the capacity to implement robotic or mechanized harvesting, this, mainly due to the costs in adapting certain processes. Thus, through the production and analysis of a market study, the data and precise information were obtained that resulted in the viability to create the product that will help prevent muscle skeletal injuries to the worker during the orange harvesting process, being accessible for non-technical crops.
