Take a second to think about how many people inhabit the earth today. What number came to mind?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We currently share the earth with 7.5 billion other individuals and this number is expected to increase to almost 10 billion in the upcoming decades. Feeding this population will require more efficient farming practices and agricultural intensification. One of the implications is that agricultural equipment companies, such as\u00a0Amazone<\/a>, need to focus on improving the durability, efficiency, and precision performance of their machinery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simcenter<\/a>,\u00a0NX<\/a>, and\u00a0Teamcenter<\/a>\u00a0allowed Amazone to reduce time and cost by creating fewer prototypes and making the mistakes in the simulation versus reality. Additionally, problems that normally could not be detected while the machinery\u00a0was being utilized on the field were\u00a0detected in the software.\u00a0 Lastly, these software applications helped the engineering team gain\u00a0a better understanding about the dynamics of motion behavior in their sprayers through virtual test tracks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through\u00a0product\u00a0innovation,\u00a0Amazone\u00a0received\u00a0the\u00a0Innovation Award at Agritechnica<\/a>, the leading trade fair for agricultural machinery. Moreover,\u00a0Amazone\u00a0is helping farmers all over the world with better tools, thereby contributing to a more efficient and productive global food chain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
