The objective of this paper is to provide solutions, from the application of design, to cover the niches that we discovered by reviewing the scientific literature and studying the market. The design process followed to achieve the objective involved a development based on methodologies and basic design approaches focused on the human experience and also that of the animal. We present a modular collar that distributes electronic components in several compartments, connected, and powered by batteries that are wirelessly recharged. Its manufacture is based on 3D printing, something that facilitates immediacy in adaptation and economic affordability. The modularity presented by the proposal allows for adapting the size of the modules to the components they house as well as selecting which specific modules are needed in a project. The homogeneous weight distribution is transferred to the comfort of the animal and allows for a better integration of the elements of the collar. This device substantially improves the current offer of telemetry devices for farming animals, thanks to an animal-centered design process. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T27-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T59-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PTQ2018-010045 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 3.9 2022 CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL 26 / 86 = 0.302 2022 Q2 T1 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 19 / 63 = 0.302 2022 Q2 T1 ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC 100 / 274 = 0.365 2022 Q2 T2 0.764 2022 Instrumentation 2022 Q1 Analytical Chemistry 2022 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2022 Q2 Information Systems 2022 Q2 Biochemistry 2022 Q2 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2022 Q2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2022 Q2 6.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Blanco, Teresa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1831-3342 Rossano, Federico Casas, Roberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5316-8171 5008 785 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
