Acero srl, thanks to its partners, has been able to develop the automation project for a TRACKED HARVESTING MACHINE for GDC vineyards.
For years, the agricultural sector has seen a growth in investments in technology aimed at automating treatment and processing processes with a strong propensity to adopt innovative
technologies in order to improve production yields on the one hand and reduce costs on the other.
Digital Farming is on the launching pad and more and more companies are relying on technology.
The wine-growing sector, which is strong in many areas of Europe and obviously in Italy, is the natural outlet for applications in both vine treatment and harvesting.
Acero srl, within the scope of its own applications, has developed with one of its partner customers and thanks to the technologies made available by our suppliers, the automation system subservient to hydraulic movements for a grape harvesting machine.
Material, sensors and instrumentation, and monitoring of field parameters aimed at harvest quality were selected by making a pre-wired control unit, switchboard with man-machine interface. Particular care was taken in the choice of materials for sheaths and enclosures, focusing on degrees of protection to protect the equipment and proven suitability to resist splashes, dust and the aggressiveness of grape must.
Leading manufacturers of components and solutions such as SIEMENS, SMC, SICK, GEFRAN, LAPPKABEL and BELLINI srl, have provided the best technologies and made technological and commercial success possible by covering the needs relating to product handling, harvesting and transfer.
A project born in Faenza, tested in the field in Romagna and that can open up to important uses in the wine sector.
A difficult environment such as agriculture, where vibrations, temperatures, radiation, and the aggressiveness of fluids constitute limits that are not always easy to attack, has found answers in Acero srl's panel of partner suppliers.
It is thanks to them, SIEMENS, SMC, SICK, GEFRAN,LAPPKABEL, BELLINI srl, that answers have been found in terms of technology, application experience and availability.
