Safety Evaluation Group conducts three types of safety inspections:
Safety cab /frame inspection
The safety cab and safety frame, which are installed to protect the driver's life from tipping over and falling accidents caused by Riding type tractors, are inspected for strength and safety space around the driver's seat.
Safety equipment inspection
By checking the international standards and occupational safety regulations, we inspect agricultural machinery and equipment for protection against hazards and examine whether the equipment for safety equipment meets the standards. Machinery and equipment equipped with superior safety equipment that exceeds inspection standards are evaluated by stages marked with ☆ in certificates and open to the public.
Inspection of robots and automated agricultural machinery
Robotic agricultural machines, which work without an operator on board, cannot ensure sufficient safety just by monitoring the surroundings. For this reason, robotic agricultural machines are equipped with systems that detect people and obstacles and prevent accidents, and inspections are carried out to ensure that the systems operate properly. On the other hand, automated agricultural machines that require an operator, are equipped with an optional function to detect people and obstacles. However, they are checked to see whether it has smooth switching functions from automatic to manual operation when avoiding dangers.
