This article explores the development of an innovative, automated
silkworm cocoon drying system powered primarily by solar energy. The system is
designed to offer an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solution for cocoon
drying, which is a crucial stage in silk production. By combining renewable energy
sources, such as solar heat, with smart technologies like PLC-based automation and real
time sensors, this solution provides consistent drying performance while minimizing
operational costs. It is especially relevant for sericulture practices in Uzbekistan, a country
rich in solar potential and seeking to modernize its agricultural sector sustainably.
