This paper describes the study of the distribution and integration of knowledge in a small control system development project called the Automation System for Agricultural Implements (AGRIX). The activity of integrating socially distributed knowledge is called knowledge networking. We distinguish between three modes of knowledge networking -modular, integral and translational -and argue that the project team's task-specific selection of a knowledge networking mode depends on the nature of the problem to be solved. We propose that groups tend to select different kinds of knowledge networking strategies, depending on whether the problem is perceived as well-or ill-defined. We found that the AGRIX team worked with well-defined problems in modular and translational ways, while treating illdefined problems with integral knowledge networking. We also observed that, in the absence of major constraints, the networking mode co-evolved dynamically with the problem structure, even though the organizational core of the project remained unchanged. This suggests that our proposal is plausible and should be investigated more systematically.Modern science and technology frequently require collective problem solving. The importance of collective problem solving is reflected in a large body of literature on the significance of collaboration, communication and other forms of interaction for learning and the generation of new knowledge (Gibbons et al.

“…When it comes to Forestry 4.0 applications CAN can be seen as the base protocol provider of data for information and decision-making, as in [30] and [31], where is developed a prototype for fault tolerance and remote maintenance over mobile networks for agricultural machinery equipped with ISOBUS, where the service provider could analyze the faults online based on the state information sent automatically by the machine controller.…”

In line with the context of Industry 4.0, forestry, and in particular the entire ecosystem around it, also needs digitalization solutions in order to allow better interaction between all agents that work and live from the forest. It is important for a better management of forest resources allowing productivity gains, more sustainability and resilience. One of the agents that can benefit, but also contribute to better forestry, are machine producers. With digitalization, the machinery is now equipped with new and better sensors that can be used not only for machine operations but also for forest management, through LiDARs or RGB cameras for example. On the other hand, there are new needs for predictive maintenance or solutions for remote assistance of machines operating in the forest, typically in isolated areas with great limitations in access to communications. Thinking about these technological challenges, this work seeks to provide answers with communication solutions in forest machines, enabling the digitalization of functionalities, also allowing remote access to machine controllers in order to provide them with connectivity in an IIoT scenarios. New hardware modules designed in partnership and according to the prerequisites of a forest machine manufacturer are presented. These modules are a step towards digitizing the machines and opening up the scalability of new requirements, as well as remote access through additional gateways. The results already obtained in real scenarios show that these modules can be a concrete solution for the current and emerging needs of the company.

“…For Morris (1988), estimates of tractor maintenance and repair costs are important for tractor replacement decisions and for the farm's overall budget. This control can be done by means of field notebooks, daily reports or from a specific computer program (ÖHMAN et al, 2004;SOPEGNO et al, 2016). Thus, In addition, through the results obtained, due to the high technology embedded in an agricultural tractor, its operators need to be professionals trained constantly in the technical part and also motivated, able to participate in a bigger philosophy of the company in the search of high levels of efficiency (RALPH et al, 2012;BOCHTIS et al, 2014).…”

The maintenance of agricultural tractors can be understood as the set of procedures that seek to keep the equipment in the best working conditions. However, carrying out adequate planning that can help optimize the maintenance of agricultural tractors is a complex task. The article consists of identifying and presenting a proposal of analysis factors for the maintenance of agricultural tractors, as well as their technical characteristics and modes of operation. In methodological terms, a Systematic Bibliographic Review was applied on maintenance and planning for agricultural tractors in two international databases. The research is classified as descriptive and comparative, of an exploratory nature. As a result, the study contributed to the information gap regarding the maintenance of agricultural tractors. In addition, we identified the main factors that must be analyzed to keep the equipment in the best operating conditions and that are responsible for increasing its useful life and avoiding future problems. The maintenance factor, which includes checking the level and oil change of the front axle, is characterized as the most important analysis procedure.
