The perfect wheel solution for an AGV feeding systemFurther development of automation in the agricultural sector
Automation is a well-known phenomenon within the agricultural sector. The AGV feeding system is a good example. In recent years, this system has taken over a lot of work of farmers. However, the development of the system is a continuous process. Our customer wanted to improve the quality of the wheels of the AGV feeding system by making the wheels more resistant to acids and by minimizing the risk of clogging. Together with our client, we have taken on this challenge.
The answer to the question
Lely, an international family business in the agricultural sector, is dedicated to make a farmer's life more pleasant and more cost-effective.

Because they constantly keep on innovating their products, the following question quickly arose: "Help us improve the wheels of the AGV feeding system so that the farmer can benefit from an AGV feeding system that runs 24/7." After extensive consultation with engineers and buyers from Lely, we developed a first plan together with elaborate drawings and calculations. Finally, we collectively came to THE wheel solution, ensuring the AGV feeding system to operate 24/7.
