Eima 2024, technical news in the name of innovation

6 November 202427 October 2024 Redazione

According to Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter, innovation represents “the practical application of an invention or discovery.” Accepting this 1911 definition, innovation becomes inseparably linked to commercialization, generating benefits that, in turn, drive social progress. Strategic steps This implies that behind every innovation lies a long series of scientific, technological, organizational, financial, and commercial processes that collectively bring a new product, technology, or service to the market, making it accessible to end users. Based on this understanding, one can only appreciate the continuous encouragement of innovation by FederUnacoma, the organization representing…

Caron “Ec70”, a jolt of energy

30 October 202426 October 2024 Redazione

Over the last five years, electrification processes in the field of agricultural mechanization in Europe have evolved rapidly. The technological progress achieved with the experience gained in the automotive sector, the growing attention towards the environmental sustainability of production cycles and the increasingly stringent regulations for the reduction of polluting emissions have in fact accelerated this path, giving impetus to new solutions which through different architectures, hybrid, plug-in and full electric, also promise to improve the efficiency of the machines and reduce management costs. Wide margins for growth This has…

Tractor market, something is moving

29 October 202418 October 2024 Redazione

If it is true that numbers don’t lie, it seems that the tractor market crisis is slowly resolving. Compared to the terrible “minus 25.05%” at the end of March 2024, the registrations at the end of September have indeed recovered nearly ten points, closing at “minus 15.52%” with a trend of further improvement. This is also confirmed by the outlook of the European Agricultural Machinery Association, abbreviated as “CEMA.” Every month, they survey European entrepreneurs to assess their concerns and expectations, and in October, they noted a slight increase in…

The third way of laser weeding

29 October 202429 October 2024 Redazione

The perennial conflict between chemical and mechanical weedkillers could see a third solution win. If on the one hand the increasingly strong European environmental pressure constantly reduces the available active ingredients and on the other mechanical interventions require repetitive steps which however do not always prove effective, it could be laser weeding that can bring agricultural entrepreneurs to agreement. At least that’s what the US start-up Carbon Robotics thinks, having designed and developed “LaserWeeder”, a weeding equipment operated on the basis of an artificial intelligence system which, through 42 high-resolution…

Bad weather, lots of words but little money

29 October 202420 January 2025 Redazione

May 2023. Between the night of the third, Wednesday, and the fourth, Thursday, the Emilia-Romagna geographical areas of Faenza and Ravenna are hit by a series of flood events extraordinary in intensity and violence. Heavy and persistent rains give rise to flooding and overflows as well as landslides, all events which are then repeated on the 16th and 17th of the same month with even greater violence. In total, the two floods affected more than one hundred municipalities, caused around nine billion in damages and had a heavy impact on…

Gangmastering, an all too widespread phenomenon

29 October 202429 October 2024 Redazione

The atrocious fate of the Indian laborer Singh Satnam, left to bleed to death after he lost an arm while working on a farm in Latina, has brought to the surface the never-challenged plagues of undeclared work in the fields, gangmastering and the link between this last and the mafias. “Uncomfortable” issues for politicians of all colors as, if addressed, they affect the economic interests of large sections of the population and therefore large sections of voters. However, the impact the contingent episode had on public opinion seems to have…

Agricultural sector, fluctuating second quarter

23 October 202423 October 2024 Redazione

The second quarter of the current year ended for the agricultural sector with contradictory data which, despite a context of generalized economic growth, have caused concern among sector analysts. According to the Ismea report, the price index of agricultural products continues to indicate a decline in prices on a cyclical basis, recording a decline of five and one percent on an annual basis in the April-June period, but with substantial stability in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the values recorded in the same time frame of 2023. The…

G7 agriculture, only differentiated solutions

21 October 202421 October 2024 Redazione

At the G7 Agriculture meeting held at the end of September on the island of Ortigia, in Syracuse, the constant increase in the global population and its consequent new food needs were at the forefront of discussions. It emerged that there is no single solution to the problem, and thus it must be addressed by implementing differentiated interventions, all converging toward the same goal. Although no one knows exactly how many people the Earth will host by 2050 — estimates range between nine and ten billion, compared to the current…

Agco Power investments, zero emissions objective

14 October 202414 October 2024 Redazione

Last April the Agco group announced the launch of a 70 million euro investment plan aimed at expanding the production possibilities of the Linnavuori plant in Finland, while also increasing its research capabilities in the energy sector sustainable. With regards to the latter, the plan essentially looks at non-fossil fuels and electric motors. Production capacities will instead be increased through the creation of a new warehouse for the processing of cylinder heads and continuously variable transmission components, a new painting department and facilities for testing remanufactured engines. Also training areas…

Fpt Industrial and Petronas married today

11 October 202411 October 2024 Redazione

Every engine has its own lubricant. It is one of the golden rules to be respected when you want to guarantee the reliability of an engine as the use of oils that are not aligned with the mission profile that the engine must fulfill or, worse, of low quality, inevitably leads to degradation progressive performance and an increase in consumption, leading, in the most serious cases, to inducing failures which then prove costly to resolve. Hence the need to lubricate each unit with the most suitable oil, both in terms of…
