AWARDS
2013 Third Edition of the Ternium-Expoagro Prize for Agricultural Machinery Innovation
Silver Medal
Automatic control for small greenhouse
Innovations
- Complete solution: even in its basic version it has all the necessary components to control temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture without the producer's intervention
- Incorporates a microcontroller instead of a PLC as the processing unit, obtaining a flexible equipment for a low cost
- Easily adapted to existent greenhouses
- No need for parameter configuration
2011 Second Edition of the Ternium-Expoagro Prize for Agricultural Machinery Innovation
Gold Medal
Mobile Cucurbitaceae Packing Station
Innovations
- Brushing, washing and transporting case. Differing from conventional instalations, the brushes are arranged axially which, in addition to the helicoidal shape, allows the processing of each fruit individually as it is transported, elimationg contact with hard surphases or contact of the fruits with each other
- Incorporates a laterally moving seat that ergonomically improves the operator's work
- Is based on a tool carrying tractor that, while not harvesting, can be used simultaneously in the preparation of the soil, the laying of the watering and sowing seeds, thus constituting an integral system for the cucurbiceae fruits
2009 First Edition of the Ternium-Expoagro Prize for Agricultural Machinery Innovation
Gold Medal
Mobile Banana Packing Station
Innovations
- A conceptual change in the harvesting method: the packing station is brought next to the banana tree instead of the traditional way which is the opposite
- The banana bunch is harvested without contact with the vehicle, avoiding fruit deterioration
- Incorporates celular trays that increase the productive capacity
