This report describes the tasks performed during the internship that took place at the Lusiaves facilities, in which the knowledge acquired during the Master of Engineering and Mobile Computing, namely with regard to the use of project management tools, management code and knowledge acquired at the project development level, among others, were crucial for this stage. The internship took 12 months, and all development tasks are related with the construction of a mobile application, with the objective to aid slaughterhouses in their management. Throughout the years, with the evolution of techonologies, the Lusiaves Group had the need to optimize most processes, which would allow for a greater overview of all processes, and shared information between all companies of the group. As such, this software was developed from scratch. For the construction of this solution, a software was created for the mobile environment, to be used by people that are within slaughterhouses, for those that are receiveing products. This software was built specifically for Android devices, even though this can be used in an iOS device. In this internship, two modules were created for this application; the Reception module, with which a user would be receiving products to insert in Reception Documents, throughout the usage of the Picking feature; and the Production module, with which a user would start products in Production Documents, throughout the usage of the same Picking feature. This picking feature can successfully read both barcodes and QRCodes, without the assistance of any external tools. This was made possible with the usage of the MC3300k, the device that will be used in slaughterhouses. In this report, most functionalities will be discussed, alongside some testing, and the justification for the choices that were done will also be provided.
