Smart Agricultural Rail Robotics System

Abstract

Smart Agriculture has rapidly developed in recent years, particularly with the integration of robotics and automation technologies to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, thereby enhancing the quality of current agricultural practices. A key innovation in this area is the rail-based robotic arm, designed to enhance work efficiency using a rail system with high precision and effectiveness. The application of this robotic arm covers various processes, such as planting, sorting, maintenance, harvesting, and resource management, allowing continuous operation and reducing human labor in repetitive and high-risk tasks. Studies have shown that the use of rail-based robotic arms in agriculture can significantly improve work efficiency, reduce production costs, and effectively mitigate environmental impact. By using robots in agricultural processes, it is possible to reduce contamination, lower the risk of crop damage, and make agriculture more sustainable. Additionally, it can increase accuracy in operations on limited spaces or farms with diverse crops. From these findings, it can be concluded that adopting rail-based robotic arm technology in agriculture not only enhances long-term production efficiency but also promotes sustainable agriculture and maximizes resource use, meeting future agricultural demands

A dual coil induction heating machine for jewelry factories developed by electromagnetic analysis

Induction Heating Machine (IHM) is a crucial device in the jewelry industry, utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat and join precious metals. This research focuses on developing a Dual Coil Induction Heating Machine (Dual Coil IHM) to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs in jewelry factories using Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA) through Ansys Maxwell software. The research process began with testing a single-coil IHM under real operating conditions and using EMA to analyze the generated magnetic flux density (B). Subsequently, dual-coil configurations in Parallel and Series arrangements were designed and compared. The experimental results revealed that the series dual coil produced a higher magnetic flux and allowed for optimizing current (I), frequency (f), number of coil turns (N), and coil spacing (d) for better manufacturing performance. The findings indicate that the series dual-coil IHM can double production capacity compared to the conventional single-coil model. Furthermore, EMA technology minimizes physical testing, reduces errors, and enhances precision in designing industrial machinery for the jewelry manufacturing sector.

Biodiversity of soil microorganisms

Soil is home to a diverse array of living organisms that interact within a complex food web, facilitating energy and nutrient cycling essential for sustaining life above ground. Among these organisms, soil microbes play a crucial role in supporting plant growth. Beneficial microorganisms enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure by increasing porosity, and strengthen plant resistance to diseases. Conversely, harmful microorganisms, such as plant pathogens, can hinder plant growth and reduce crop yields when present in high concentrations. Neutral microorganisms, which naturally inhabit the soil, contribute to the soil ecosystem without directly impacting plants. A single teaspoon of soil contains over a billion microorganisms, yet only about 1% of them can be cultured in laboratory conditions. This highlights soil as one of the richest reservoirs of microbial diversity on Earth.
