Irriworks Srl and the Faculty of Agriculture participated in the International Conference on Agriculture Engineering & Industry Exhibition held in Hersonissos, Crete, from 22 to 25 June 2008.
In the splendid setting of the Knossos Royal Village of Hersonissos, Crete, the International Conference of the European Society of Agricultural Engineering (EurAgEng) took place, organized jointly with the Hellenic Society of Agricultural Engineering. The conference was attended by over 500 participants from the academic environment and from public and private research centers, arriving from around fifty nations on five continents.
The topics covered were those specific to Agricultural Engineering, from agricultural mechanics and mechanization to rural constructions, to the relevant aspects of agricultural hydraulics and irrigation. Particular attention was paid to issues relating to precision agriculture and sensors to which, in the last period, industrial development processes frequently turn.
Participants had the opportunity to present the most innovative and recent industrial developments in engineering for agriculture.
As part of the Conference, the work entitled “IRRIPRO: A powerful software to graphic and hydraulic design of irrigation plants” was presented, carried out by Irriworks in collaboration with the ITAF Department of the University of Palermo, in which the software was presented IRRIPRO, as well as the results of the first checks already carried out in the field.
The work received the certificate of merit (shown below) from the Organizing Committee (in a shortlist of the three best memories) for “excellence in the design and innovation of agricultural engineering”.
