Academic research on process optimization in Ecuador andPeru

Academic research in Ecuador and Peru continues to focus on implementing new management models and automation technologies to optimize various industrial, service, and social sectors.

In Ecuador, studies have proposed process-based management models for the car rental sector to improve service quality and digital workflows. Researchers have also developed machine learning models to predict housing prices in Guayaquil and suggested using artificial intelligence to automate low-value motor vehicle insurance claims at Aseguradora del Sur S. A. Recent architectural and engineering research includes a neuroarchitecture-based redesign proposal for a specialized school in Loja and an analysis of thermal gradients causing concrete fissures in Guayaquil. Additionally, biological studies have addressed the prevalence of feline panleukopenia in southern Guayaquil.

In Peru, research has targeted the agricultural and industrial sectors. Studies conducted at the Universidad Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión (UNDAC) in Huariaca have analyzed the economic and productive characteristics of rabbit farming, utilizing automated recording systems to address inefficiencies. Further research has evaluated the effectiveness of nutritional demonstrations for school lunches in Pasco and investigated the impact of mechanical vibrations on the safety of workers in the Animón mining unit.
