The agricultural sector has undergone a massive increase in productivity to meet demands for increased production of inexpensive, high-quality food. These demands have resulted primarily in larger and more productive machines. However, on today's complex farms, there is a large and untapped potential related to planning and optimising the interaction between the individual machines instead of simply increasing the size of the machines. The Department of Engineering, Aarhus University has joined forces with the global manufacturer of agricultural machinery, ACGO, to develop the already comprehensive research in logistic optimisation and operations management related to field operations, specifically harvesting operations. The aim is to create an innovative commercial product that optimises the entire logistic chain in all harvest operations for all of the involved harvesting equipment and systems. In this project, AGCO, that develops and produces agricultural machinery for brands such as Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra, is represented by the Danish research and development department in Randers. AGCO has a clear strategy for the development and implementation of the increasingly advanced sensor and data acquisition technologies in the machines. A data platform will be developed to gather and exchange data with other machinery at the farm. Ideally, the platform should also be able to communicate with external suppliers and buyers of products from the farm to allow automatic ordering of fertilizer and crops as well as automatic sales of corn. These technologies will form the basis for new optimisation tools.
