Incredible Salamanca prototypes to make everyday life easier

A system to detect and avoid the attack of predators in livestock farms.That is the idea that Miguel Hernández Corral has developed within the framework of the call of “Prototypes oriented to the market for the university-business knowledge transfer plan (TCUE)” corresponding to the 2020-21 course.

En la última edición del programa TCUE se han presentado 23 proyectos, liderados por alumnos de 7 facultades y escuelas de la Universidad de Salamanca, que destacan por su variedad, originalidad y cercanía con los problemas actuales.Good example is “Stockomid.In addition, the prototype aims to use social networks to introduce digital marketing in these companies.
