A4 - Power and Machinery Conference

Chair: Daniel Marçal de Queiroz / Brazil (queiroz@ufv.br)
Co-Chair: John Schueller / USA (schuejk@ufl.edu)

Agricultural machines play an important role in agri-food production systems. Many machines are used to perform different tasks in crop establishment, pre-harvest, harvest and post-harvest operations. The Power and Machinery Conference will integrate efforts of the international scientific community in discussing the theme and will present the advances in the area of knowledge and technology that are contributing to the development and the use of agricultural machines. Three macro area topics are: Equipment engineering for plants; Information systems; and Educational aspects. Paper presentations, plenary discussion and poster sessions will show and discuss the most recent developments in Power and Machinery.

Potential Topic Areas
  • EQUIPMENT ENGINEERING FOR PLANTS: Harvesting, Precision Agriculture, Soil Dynamics, Tractive and Transport Efficiency, Agricultural Equipment Automation, Crop Planting, Chemical Application, Machinery Management, Safety for Agricultural Equipment.
  • INFORMATION SYSTEMS: Simulation and Modeling; Decision Support System and Management Zones; Geospatial Application; GIS/GPS; Variable Rate Technology; Yield Monitoring; Environmental Issues; Traceability; Technology for Quality Detection; Technology for Stress, Pests and Disease Detection; Wireless Communication; Information Technology Data Management; Weather Networks; Site-Specific Management for Quality Enhancement; Precision Livestock Production; Applied Nanotechnology; Systems Design and Automation; Geotechnology.
  • EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS: E-Ag Business; Production Chain Management; Education/Training Methods for New Production Technologies.
