Innovation and technology in the manufacture of sanitizing products

Abstract

The application of assisted design tools, together with the knowledge of handling stingless bees, and knowledge of production processes were the key to achieving the mechanization of one of the activities that took the longest in the manufacturing process. of a sanitizing product, such as antibacterial gel with propolis extract. This mechanization was possible by using the methodology of computer-aided design and the incorporation of existing elements in the design of a prototype, adaptable to home conditions with which antibacterial gel can be generated with a medium-low production that responds to a market. local. The use of products from stingless bee hives is of vital importance to promote the care and preservation of these native bees, as well as to support the local economy, by offering a product with added value and a differentiating element to consumers. that already exist on the market.
