DE LAS CUEVAS-MILAN, Héctor R. et al. Automated System to Determine Means of Transport in Mechanized Sugarcane Harvesting. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, e09.  Epub Nov 12, 2021. ISSN 2071-0054.

The present work aims to develop the automated DCMT system, which determines the amount of means of transport, in the mechanized harvesting process of sugarcane, for different transport distances, field performance and capacity of the means of transport used (20 and 60 t). The system is based on equations with linear fit, starting from the analytical modeling carried out by the SMCTCA software developed by De las Cuevas and collaborators in 2016. The main control panel and links are provided to allow the user to interact with the different parts that make it up to evaluate the mechanized process of harvesting and transporting sugarcane, for different exploitation conditions. That permits the rational organization of the system with the increase of the coefficient of use of time and the productivity as well as the reduction of operating expenses.

Keywords : Transportation; Field Performance; Productivity; Analytical Modeling.
