Challenges To Be Faced When Dealing With an Agricultural Equipment Design
Agriculture is one of the oldest professions. Since time immemorial we humans have been producing crops for our consumption. Over a period of time, production has increased as never before because of the increase in the population. Technology has become practical for many farmers. Several technologies have been developed to overcome the challenges of agriculture. Agricultural equipment design engineers face many challenges when designing equipment. Here are a few.
Stagnation of production
Agriculture is the most vulnerable to natural disasters. For example, say you have 100 acres of rice paddy. You have grown everything and suddenly a cyclone hit your city. All your crops and fields are destroyed. All your fortunes are broken. As a result, your production stagnates. An engineer will have to think about how to solve this problem with a pragmatic approach.
Utilization
Let's say an engineer designs a tractor. It will have a medium area in which the farmer will work. For example, an acre and your tractor will be designed to cover the entire area. You can go beyond, but he can’t resist to a limit.
Efficiency
The same use case is appropriate here. You build a tractor to grow close to one acre. The best way to heal land to increase productivity is important here. Nowadays, agriculture is about harvesting fewer crops, that is, more crops in small fields. The engineer must keep this in mind when developing new agricultural equipment.
Intensive work
The biggest challenge for agriculture is the availability of labor. You have a very large land cover that consists of reaching out to the fields and picking the whole product, which quickly becomes a big deal. Therefore, you need to hire more people to collect all the products. The cost of your work increases, as does the product.
