Abstract
Introduction. The accelerated deployment of modern electronics contributes to the efficiency of agricultural activities. The aim of the study is to develop automated machines with digital control systems for cultivating, harvesting and post-harvest processing of vegetable crops and potatoes.
Materials and Methods. The article describes the technique of analytical studying the development of automated machines for cultivating, planting, harvesting and post-harvesting with automation in separate technological operations according to the technique of comprehensive assessment of performance quality and stability of technological operations on the basis of quantitative optimization criteria.
Results. It is found that for the development of control and monitoring system of the technological process, it is necessary to provide automatic adjustment of the main technological parameters of the machines. These parameters should include the uniformity of soil density when seeding down, recording the force impact of the working body on the soil layer below or above the specified limits of the soil density toleration, changing and maintaining the vibration frequency of separation intensifiers, identifying commercial products through the vision system in the form of a camera, respectively.
Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study on the development of algorithms and hardware-software means of the functioning of automated machine individual elements have resulted in ensuring the implementation of automation segments on the main operations of crop production: tillage, seeding/planting, harvesting and post-harvest processing.
Keywords: agricultural machines, automation, digital control system, soil density, tillage depth, rotational speed, technical vision, quality indicators
Funding: The study was supported by the Council for Grants of the President of the Russian Federation SP-1004.2021.1.
