Abstract:
The influencing factors on an agricultural machine design consist, from the
informational design phase, in an important reference for the agricultural machine (AM) development
progress. This work aims to present fundamental considerations for building a basis for the creation
of a systematized model which allows the organized recording of information for use throughout the
AM development process. In order to accomplish this goal, a bibliography survey of knowledge
references on agricultural machine design and on agricultural mechanization was undertaken, taking
as basis the current considerations of the survey of influencing factors upon the design process,
defined in the reference model for the agricultural machine development process. From this work, the
attained result is the classification of those factors in four groups, that include: (1) the exact definition
of the set of design deliverables as well as the project deliverables that drive such process; (2) the
organized recording of information upon performance and configuration of current AM solutions in
the market; (3) the consideration of all established constraints which define mandatory aspects for the
AM homologation and certification; and, (4) the characterization of the AM task, its involved agents,
its environmental and physical conditions and its execution processes.
