Transverse Spreading Evaluation for Organic Fertilizer Machinery (CEMOB)

This service meets the essential demand for accuracy in fertilization technologies, ensuring that every crop receives exactly what it needs to thrive. Before the service, you might wonder about the consistency of your spreading pattern. Accurate application ensures even coverage, prevents overdosing, and meets environmental standards, leading to healthier plants and a thriving landscape. Following the service, you’ll receive a comprehensive performance report that highlights the uniformity of your equipment or product. This valuable information empowers you to fine-tune machine settings, reduce fertilizer waste, and meet distribution standards, ultimately enhancing your market confidence and success. Furthermore, the high-precision data collected serves as 'ground truth' to train or validate AI algorithms used in variable-rate application (VRA) systems.

During our testing process, the customer provides the necessary machinery, such as spreaders and discs, or the specific product to be evaluated. Our specialized team prepares a transversal bench, equipped with specialized sensors and receptacles. Once everything is set up, we conduct tests under carefully controlled conditions, making precise adjustments to speed, flow, and width to ensure accurate and reliable results. We proudly utilize the state-of-the-art CEMOB infrastructure at the AgroTechnoPôle (INRAE-TSCF) Montoldre site in France, a premier facility dedicated to improving spreading practices. To conduct an effective assessment, the customer must provide either the required machinery or a sufficient quantity of the product for testing at the designated site. Following the assessment, a detailed technical report will be provided that analyzes the spread pattern, coefficient of variation (CV), and deviations from the center. This report will offer essential insights into the product's performance and reliability.

This service is incredibly adaptable, perfectly designed to meet the diverse development needs in agriculture! You can easily adjust key factors, such as fertilizer type (organic), granulometry, and density. Plus, the machine configuration can be customized to suit specific requirements for working width, forward speed, and disc angulation. We can also provide datasets compatible with digital twin simulations for virtual testing of robotic operations. You can tailor your analysis depth, whether you're simply verifying distribution or conducting detailed comparative studies of different hardware components. This flexibility truly empowers your agricultural innovations.
