Mechanical harvest training.
October 21, 2022 | 7:00 am - 4:00 pm
Methodology:
Three theoretical sessions of 8 hours each will be held on October 7, 14 and 21 at the Cenicaña facilities, and on October 28 a field day to evaluate concepts in a mechanical harvest front of a sugar mill.
Who is it for:
- Coordinators, Supervisors and/or harvest front managers.
Training content:
- Module for confirmation and assurance of basic knowledge of mechanical harvesting (machines, equipment, field designs, cultivation and technological improvements).
- Module for the study of critical elements of success (foreign matter, cane losses, field damage, measurement methodologies, means of improvement, control strategies to increase process efficiency.)
- Module on the administration of the operation, cost control and maintenance administration in the field.
- Evaluative module on applied technologies and use of intelligent systems in the operation of the harvester (Field day).

2.10 Harvester operational capabilities.
Module II (October 14, 2022)
2. Study module of critical elements of success
2.1 Raw Material Quality.
2.2 Strange matter-Vegetable and mineral impurities.
2.3 The cane lost in the field.
2.4 Field damage in summer and winter.
2.5 field design.
2.6 Furrow geometry for mechanical harvesting.
2.7 Traffic of equipment in the field-Compaction and trampling.
Objectives:
1. Teach and verify the basic operational concepts in the measurement systems of the mechanical harvest efficiency and the knowledge of the current technology, for the administration.
2. Optimize the methods and ways of harvesting, avoiding damage and loss of raw material and cultivation infrastructure, in dry weather and in the rainy season (winter).
3. Learn to identify problems and potential common and special causes of variation that affect quality, quantity, time, and cost results.
4. Learn about the online control of the equipment by taking advantage of satellite technologies, sensor control and intelligent software reports.
