Abstract(s)
Desde a introdução da primeira maquinaria, a agricultura tem estado em constante
desenvolvimento. Na era atual da tecnologia, a Herculano assume-se como empresa líder na
indústria de equipamentos agrícolas em Portugal, tendo como produtos em destaque as
cisternas e reboques agrícolas. Neste âmbito surge a presente dissertação, cujo objetivo se
prendeu com a implementação de duas novas tecnologias: um sistema de apoio à
manobrabilidade de veículos de grandes dimensões e um sistema de controlo da pressão dos
pneus. O primeiro sistema tem o intuito de auxiliar a movimentação de reboques e cisternas
agrícolas em espaços de manobra reduzidos, enquanto o segundo pretende combater a
compactação dos solos agrícolas causada pelas rodas dos veículos. A metodologia utilizada
neste trabalho foi a Design Science Research (DSR). Esta serviu de base ao processo de
implementação das duas novas tecnologias, tendo sido seguidas as suas etapas. Ambos os
projetos requereram uma fase inicial de estudo e planeamento sobre o seu funcionamento e
aplicação nas cisternas Herculano. De seguida, procedeu-se à aplicação destas tecnologias em
duas cisternas diferentes, uma de 22000 l e outra de 24000 l, tendo-se validado o seu correto
funcionamento. A instalação decorreu de forma bem-sucedida e como planeada. A
implementação destas tecnologias representou um passo importante na inovação dos produtos
Herculano e constitui uma mais-valia para os agricultores que as utilizam. Os sistemas
encontram-se agora disponíveis como opcionais na gama de cisternas e reboques da empresa.
Since the introduction of the first machinery, agriculture has been in constant development. In today's age of technology, Herculano is the leading company in the agricultural equipment industry in Portugal, with it’s main products being slurry tankers and agricultural trailers. The aim of this dissertation was to implement two new technologies: a maneuverability support system for large dimension vehicles and a tire pressure control system. The first system is intended to help move trailers and slurry tankers in tight maneuvering spaces, while the second aims to reduce the compaction of agricultural soils caused by vehicle wheels. The methodology used in this work was the Design Science Research (DSR). It served as the basis for the process of implementing the two new technologies, by following it’s stages. Both projects required an initial study and planning phase on how they would work and how they would be applied to the Herculano vehicles. These technologies were applied in two different slurry tankers, one with capacity for 22000 l and another with 24000 l and their correct operation was validated. The installation took place successfully and as planned. The implementation of these technologies represented an important step in the innovation of Herculano's products and is an asset for the farmers who use them. The systems are now available as optional extras in the company's range of tankers and trailers.
