Guiding Principle for Agricultural Technology

More with less

| Prof. Dr.- Ing. Peter Pickel | Oct. 2015 6

• Sustainability

• Automation and autonomous operation

• Reliability

Why Don‘t We Have Autonomous Machines?

Because of safety/legal issues

Because of a lack of

functional safety (functional stability)

• But driverless machines are

the safest machines from

the driver‘s prospective

• But operational setting is

endangered seriously

• Example: So long as there

might be a pick-up (trailer)

plugging a (service) person will

be needed

Automation will have to „attack“ that gap

zero defect operation / disturbance management

Quotation of a Grandfather of Agricultural Engineering Albrecht D. Thaer wollte, ...

| Prof. Dr.- Ing. Peter Pickel | Oct. 2015

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, considering the processes of complex

industrial production which have to applied similarily to achieve

the same fruitful success as the healthy manufacturing

enterprises have
