The Department of Mechanization Research Collaboration organizes "Technological Cluster for Agricultural Machinery" as a platform for wide-ranging industry-academia-government collaboration to promote new agricultural mechanization.
The Technological Cluster for Agricultural Machinery brings together diverse stakeholders, including private companies, agricultural organizations, research institutions, universities, government agencies, and agricultural producers, to solve challenges faced at agricultural production sites. We gather requests from production sites regarding machinery development and farm work safety, and work to address them through R&D and other activities led by cluster members. These efforts are reported to an external committee, "Assessment Committee for Agricultural Machinery Technologies," and we receive advice and evaluation to ensure appropriate operation. Furthermore, we are working on disseminating agricultural work safety information to agricultural production sites.
