Prädiktive Betriebsstrategien für zukünftige Maschinenkonzepte

Abstract

Improving the efficiency and performance of agricultural machinery calls for innovative control approaches. When these approaches are applied at superordinate control unit level to optimize operation behavior, we speak of operation strategies. This paper examines an approach for structuring an operation strategy that is capable of using predicted cycle information. This predictive character makes it possible to use optimization processes as a way of achieving better efficiency and/or performance. A tractor is used as an example application. On account of its many different work tasks, this demands a highly flexible control approach. The following article illustrates how this can be shaped, how the necessary sub-elements are configured and which results can be expected from applying the operation strategy presented.
