El estudio describe el diseño y la evaluación de un prototipo de balanza automática integrada a un desgranador de maíz, orientado a mejorar la eficiencia y el control de los procesos postcosecha mediante el uso de tecnologías de la información. La evaluación del prototipo se realizó a través de validación experta, considerando indicadores de eficiencia operativa, integración tecnológica, precisión y confiabilidad, así como viabilidad y escalabilidad. Los resultados evidencian una aceptación general moderada-favorable (58.33%), destacando el indicador de viabilidad y escalabilidad como el mejor valorado (65.33%), lo que refleja un reconocimiento del potencial de implementación de la solución propuesta. No obstante, los expertos identificaron áreas críticas de mejora relacionadas con la precisión metrológica y la integración sistémica, propias de tecnologías en etapas tempranas de desarrollo. En conjunto, los hallazgos sugieren que el prototipo constituye una alternativa tecnológicamente pertinente para la modernización de procesos postcosecha en el sector agrícola. Asimismo, se plantea la incorporación futura de técnicas de inteligencia artificial como una vía para perfeccionar el desempeño del sistema y fortalecer su escalabilidad en entornos de agricultura de precisión.
