Automation in (mobile) machinery sometimes is a revolution 7 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC Automatic Steering Systems RTK-DGPS applications derived from the idea of Precision Farming less overlaps and skips full working width and header width straight rows in all weather conditions more operating comfort physical and mental relief detection of critical situations Itec Pro Approach to field borders (Static) obstacles 8 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC 4
Autonomous Steering (Testing) 9 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC Why don t we have autonomous vehicles? Because of safety issues But driverless vehicles are the safest vehicles from the driver s prospective But operational setting is endangered seriously Because of a lack of functional safety (functional stability) Example: So long as there might be a pick-up (trailer) plugging Automation a (service) will attack person that will gap be needed Tractor driver might have different tasks in the future 10 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC 5

No general definition of a robot but typical characteristics: move around ( ), operate a mechanical limb ( ), sense and manipulate their environment ( ), exhibit intelligent behavior, especially behavior which mimics humans or other animals ( ) Industrial robots (ISO 8373): "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose, manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications."[ Alternatively: Fully autonomously operating manufacturing machine 18 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC 9
What a future system approach should cover Central farm process management (PCMS) Logistics Farm resource planning (similar as ERP) Service and documentation Farm network and general communication Free-acting machines with substantial part of autonomous operation + Plug & Play + Minimum Hardware requirements (e.g. e-drive + comm.) = Automated mobile agricultural machine system 19 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC Proposal from Smart Sustainable Bio-Production Integrating Control Architectures Governing Advanced Mobile and Stationary Production Systems Smart Sustainable Agricultural Production Machines Systems and Architectures Innovative power train technology in mobile working machines Safe Workplace 2025 / FutureAgHMIs Efficiency Initiative - Sustainable Agriculture System level or holistic approach to sustainable ag manufacturing 20 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC 10
Quotation of a grandfather of agricultural engineering Albrecht D. Thaer wollte,... dass man die die Landwirtschaft als eine Fabrik, aber als eine sehr verwickelte Fabrik [betrachtet] und bei ihrer Betreibung alle Regeln [unterlegt], worauf der glückliche Erfolg der Fabriken beruhet. Qutotation from 1801 / Zitat von 1801 Agriculture shall be done in a way as if being an industrial manufacturing system and thus, considering the processes of complex industrial production which have to applied similarily to achieve the same fruitful success as the healthy manufacturing enterprises have 21 MANUFUTURE Pickel - JD ETIC 11
