Dear all, I compiled some statements from the harvesting sector, demonstrating the impact for competitiveness of ECO PREMISIS in this sector: For Grimme Landmaschinen, the technology and methods developed in ECO PREMSIS are an important prerequisite to enable the introduction of the third generation of control systems for mobile work machines As demand increases to completely cover the agricultural food production chain, harvest information will have to be collected from self-propelled machines. For J.Deere as the European market and technology leader, agricultural management solutions are a unique selling proposition. Here, solutions as provided by the ECO PREMISIS approach help make agricultural machines a fundamental data node in food production.
