Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Abstract

In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.

Objective

ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Data Centralization for Manufacturing : Development of a web application for request tools

The objective is to develop a web application for tool requests to issues arising from using Excel programs. The initial Excel file is copied from an existing SQL database and repeatedly duplicated, leading to excessive storage consumption. Additionally, the Excel files cannot be accessed concurrently by multiple users. Therefore, this web application aims to connect directly to the SQL database, eliminating the problems caused by using Excel files.

TOOTHBRUSH APPEARANCE FACTORS THAT AFFECT BABY BOOMERS' PURCHASING DECISIONS

This study aims to identify the toothbrush appearance factors that affect baby boomers purchasing decisions. The research divide into three stages: The first stage is to classify the toothbrush appearance factors through a review of literature, research, and examining toothbrushes currently available on the market, summarizing them as appearance factors. The second stage is to summarize the results of the toothbrush appearance factors to create a multiple-choice questionnaire in three dimensions: purchasing decisions, aesthetics, and functionality. Collecting data from a group of 30 Baby Boomers aged 57-75 years old. The last stage is to summarize the three dimensions of appearance factors affecting baby boomers' toothbrush purchasing decisions and report as percentages and rank them. The research findings indicate that the most significant toothbrush appearance factor is a "Curved handle," accounting for 80%, followed by “Multi-level bristles” at 70%, a "Rubber thumb rest" at 53.3%, "Handle divided into more than two parts" at 50%, and “Offset shape” at 40%, respectively. In terms of the reason for purchasing decision based on various factors are as follows: the curved handle and offset shape give a sense of purchase with its aesthetic, While the selection of multi-level bristles, the Rubber thumb rest, and the handle divided into more than two parts due to functionality.
