Applying UAF for Dairy & Livestock Production Systems Engineering

Описание: Presenter: Dr.-Ing. Christian von Holst, Global Tractor Systems Engineering Lead @ John Deere GmbH & CO KG

Farming systems are facing tremendous challenges such as climate change, reduction of arable land, increasing food demand, international and national regulations, volatile commodity prices and labor shortage. Digitization, Autonomy, Internet of Things, and sustainable farming are driving the transformation to face these challenges, while food demand is increasing. Considering a farm as a complex production system leads to agricultural process optimization and customer-focused innovation. System-of-Systems-Engineering is a paradigm behind this transformation. Standards such as UAF emerged as a new way for Production Systems Engineering. The framework makes it possible to develop complex relationships and interactions between systems capabilities and resources (such as workforce, animals, field, machinery, processes, services, etc.) while considering economic and ecological value streams. The UAF provides a viable framework of standardized views from which to model different aspects of a production system. UAF is a complementary approach to MBSE/SysML. Combining these approaches enables consistent and coherent models across system layers and is a means to derive well-defined requirements out of production system needs and demands for farm resources (e.g. tractors). This session demonstrates the application of UAF to build the foundation of a digital twin of a Dairy & Livestock (D&L) farm and discusses lessons learned from an industry perspective.
