Created in 1979, the UNIVERSIDADE DO ALGARVE (UAlg) presents itself as the reference University on the south of Portugal, being recognized by the excellency of its investigation, by the quality of its education and by the close relationships it establishes with society.

The Ualg project development is under Centro de Eletrónica, Optoeletrónica e Telecomunicações (CEOT) supervision. CEOT is an investigation centre located at Algarve University and was created in 2003 result of a joint effort from several young scientists on the electronic, optoelectronic and telecommunications areas.

Nowadays, CEOT is comprised by a multidisciplinary group of investigators on the areas of computing, computation sciences, electronics, physics, and biology, which share a strategy of investigation oriented to an integrated approach of the networks, electronics and monitoring applications in biology. The investigation activities include the communication networks, with emphasis on the Internet Of Things (IoT), and the biologic monitoring in agronomic applications, specially the optical and electric measurements.

The Cooperative was born to its associative rural life in 1966. Some of the distinct precursors of the cooperative movement took in hands the hard task of serving the farmers on their most varied needs.

This Institution asserted in the cooperative panorama has a solid house trying to provide its collaborators services as diverse as the sale of production factors and farming equipments, as well as production support, fruit sales and storing. In the Fruits and Vegetables Section (O.P.), its collaborators are proud of showing off the CAB brand, as a superior quality symbol, namely its most internationally recognized product, the Rocha Pear, Queen of the West Fruits.

Under this project, CAB will contribute with a testing of the prototype sorting machine during the season.
