Innovation in coffee post-harvest: development of an automation system for the drying process.

Abstract

Innovation is one of themost important elements in order to obtain success in any business. In this paper, firstly we will show the importance of innovation and then its application with technological development, based on a mechatronic system for automation in the drying step of thecoffee post-harvest process. This implements a design methodology in real environments with real coffee producers, in order to generate innovation and help to obtain quality in the final product. Every step of the methodology applied is explained including designs, implementation and validation phases.
