Reception and management of agrochemical containers in the CATs

Abstract

The handling of agrochemical containers is subject to compliance with current laws for the operation and certification of systems that reduce contamination risks. The objective of this research is to design a computer system that allows greater control in the Temporary Collection Centers (CAT), from the reception of containers to the exit of waste to destination companies. For the development of the project, an exhaustive analysis was carried out in each of the processes. Requirements gathering techniques and the design of diagrams will be applied to detail the context of the processes using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The database was designed in MySQL and the programming was carried out in Visual Studio 2023. Results were obtained in various reports and statistics that allow managing the capacity of the CATs and having a reliable record of the origin of the containers, as well as a control and follow-up in the exit and delivery of waste to final destination companies. The project is a challenge of environmental impact and social responsibility that requires the intervention of different sectors, public and private, as well as the direct collaboration of agricultural producers.
