Such a technology would be able to capture risk areas with problems such as insufficient fertilizer, soil humidity and pesticide application , thus serving as the foundation for a system which would generate alerts and recommendations for the farmer. 15 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey Key technological advances followed by the agricultural mach. and equipment manufacturers • • • • • • • • 16 Satellite technologies Smart sensors Field-type portable computers Vehicle to vehicle data transmission Autonomous equipment & platforms Robots Intelligent machinery Tractors fitted with ISO-Bus systems… Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey Was it farmers who demanded all these technological improvements? Of course not. It is impossible to demand something that you know nothing about. 17 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey Neither we, the manufacturers, nor the farmers could have known that technology would come to play such a major role in mechanization. Therefore, such a demand was not raised by the users – or the manufacturers. 18 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey The technological developments in agriculture today are driven entirely by advances in electronics. 19 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey European agricultural machinery manufacturers have disclosed that 70% of all fertilizing and spraying machines they release into the market today are equipped with precision farming technologies and smart or ISO-Bus enabled equipment. 20 Fertilizing and spraying machines Smart technologies Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey Traditional Technologies that are predicted to have the most profound effect on agriculture within the next 10 years: 1. GPS 2. Biotechnology 3. Web Based Farming Applications 4. Precise Climate Satellites 5. Smart Phones 21 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey With developments like; • • • • 22 Depth adjustable tillage Mechatronic unit controller sowing Sensor-based variable rate spraying systems, and finally Smart irrigation systems, we can see that precision agricultural applications and their subsequent technological developments are increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives, which will inevitably lead to their widespread global use. Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey 1. We have initiated efforts to establish an electronic and hydraulic infrastructure to enable communication between our tractors and integrated agricultural machinery, which are anticipated to become widely used in the future, thus ensuring the highest efficiency in their operation. 23 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey 2. We are currently working on the implementation of on-board computers, which will enable our tractors to collect data through various technological devices and convert them into useful information, thus providing our farmers with the means to better calculate their efficiency. Through these systems, instant soil analysis results, daily working hours, area of cultivated farm land, quantity of fuel consumed, current vehicle position and operational data will become readily available to farm owners through the onboard computers, their tablets, or their smart phones. 24 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey 3. Since our customers are racing against time, we have concentrated efforts on implementing remote assistance systems on our tractors, which will enable us to monitor our tractors online and inform the users of any problems, thus providing fast and effective after-sales service by detecting potential failures ahead of time and preventing them before they actually take effect. 25 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey And finally, 4. We are cooperating with various universities to improve vehicle efficiency and design, and carrying out technology development projects in collaboration with expert college professors. 26 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey Our Research & Innovation Team, at Erkunt Tractor Industries, INC. We are confident that these rapid developments in agricultural mechanization will lead to increased productive efficiency in agriculture. And we take pride in our involvement in breakthrough projects that aim to reduce and prevent hunger worldwide. 27 Fifth World Summit on Agriculture Machinery January 21, 2016 ~ Istanbul, Turkey Thank you all for your kind attention.
