As part of this service, we test and measure, among other things, mechanical, physical, acoustic, radio, electromagnetic compatibility and electrical parameters for the purpose of assessing the overall user safety of agricultural, horticultural, forestry and food machinery, equipment and components. Verification is based on the requirements of standards and directives declared by the manufacturer. We carry out an initial assessment based on the design documentation provided or/and on measurements taken on a prototype based on harmonised and non-harmonised standards with relevant EU and sectoral legislation. This is to ensure that for instance essential requirements resulting from for instance New Legislative Framework directives and other EU law are fulfilled to better protect both users and agrifoodTEF professionals from unsafe prototypes of products being subjected to other afT services in the next stages. One of the aims is to help manufacturers is to verify the prototype before constructing final agrifood products to be placed on EU single market. The technical scope of test may result from requirements of EMC, LVD, RED, MD, MR on other NLF directives and regulations but is limited to prototypes.

This service provides a comprehensive assessment of the performance of systems, focusing on sustainability indicators such as energy consumption and input usage per hectare. It evaluates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) or robotic solutions on the performance and sustainability of the associated equipment. The service includes tests such as functional testing, accelerated durability testing, and assessments of the system’s resilience to environmental factors and electromagnetic interference (EMI). By identifying potential design flaws or manufacturing defects, the service supports the development and optimisation of tested solutions, contributing to sustainable technological advancements.

We provide physical testing services, under both laboratory and field conditions, to assess the proper performance of the object under test, the level of quality, and the performance achieved. These tests focus on evaluating the performance of an object under laboratory and operational (field) conditions while maintaining its proper functionality. Our testing process helps identify potential weaknesses in the design of the device, offering insights that can inform adjustments to algorithms or hardware. This service aims to ensure that systems perform reliably under a variety of conditions, helping to prevent failures and maintain optimal performance in real-world applications.

The service provides access to data streams collected from equipment tested by other services or using specially installed sensor or camera arrays in specific test environments. It includes the provision of data streams from sensors and cameras installed to meet specific customer needs in agreed areas and tailored to work in these specific locations. Such areas are, for example, fields, orchards, vineyards, forests, or specific locations such as farms, barns, or warehouses. Furthermore, the service includes access to corrections from local RTK stations and meteorological station data. In this way, it provides comprehensive and reliable data access support for a variety of customer requirements.
