SMART TECHNOLOGIES FOR AGRICULTURE CAN NOW BE TESTED IN SIMULATION
AgriSIm© enables the possibility of carrying out tests on agricultural processes that would be impossible to carry out experimentally in all periods of the year and it allows to repeat these tests several times.
The driving simulator, with its Driver In the Loop approach, is useful to train operators about the new precision farming technologies, avoiding to organize long and expensive on-field training campaigns.
WHY YOU NEED IT:
Smart Farming and IoT-driven agriculture technologies are a major support in the response to the global food challenge of feeding more than 9 billion people in 2050, as well as to sustainability and competitiveness challenges. Several aspects must be considered within the adoption of these technologies:
- sensing the environment (on-board sensor, drones, satellites);
- software solutions, for location-specific treatments;
- on filed georeferentiation technologies
- robotization/automatization (Driving Assistance System and Autonomous Driving) for Tractor-Implement Management (TIM);
- Electrified Powertrain & Power Take-Off (PTO);
- Hardware/Software communication/integration in the early stage of development.
AgriSIm is aimed at all developers of control logics for agricultural vehicles and operations, providing a virtual development environment. It also targets educational institutions (schools and consultancy companies) by providing a driving simulator capable of replicating agricultural operations.
