General information about project

Project name: Modularity of agricultural machinery supported by advanced manufacturing technologies
Programme name: FV - TRIO Call number 4
Call title: Fourth call for tenders under the TRIO programme
Project title: Modularity of agricultural machinery supported by advanced manufacturing technologies
Project registration number: FV40207
Project description: The aim of the project is to innovate the modularity of agricultural machinery using a complex system for simulation and verification of machine design solutions using chisel and disk arrangement of tillage tools. The system will optimize and innovate existing design setups to minimize the weight of the machine structure while accounting for material solution options. Reducing the weight of the structure will enable and significantly improve the use of machines with larger footprints, thereby processing larger areas in a single pass while reducing the proportion of soil compaction, reducing water absorption, and reducing the overall energy consumption of tillage. Verification and testing will be carried out on a machine assembled from individual modules of the design. The objectives of the project are in line with the national RIS3 strategy, KETs and national priorities for oriented research.
