Execution of digital testing

Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI)

This service assists customers in executing digital tests using agrifoodTEF’s digital infrastructure. Tests can either be defined by the customer or designed through agrifoodTEF services (e.g., S00176, S00177, S00178). If specific activities are required to properly interface the system under test with the digital infrastructure, these can be handled by either the customer or agrifoodTEF (via Service S00180).

Support provided by this service includes general assistance during the test execution phase, such as monitoring to ensure compliance with the testing protocol or offering immediate help in identifying and resolving issues. Additionally, the service provides technical support during the test execution of the system under test, including ensuring that all necessary processes are correctly configured and running, as well as helping the customer address any unforeseen challenges that may arise when complex digital systems interact.

Finally, through this service, agrifoodTEF manages the technical infrastructure for test execution, ensuring smooth data exchange between the system under test and the agrifoodTEF infrastructure, and verifying that all testing requirements—potentially identified during the desk assessment phase (Service S00179)—are met during the actual test runs.

Test execution

Execution of physical testing

Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI)

Any physical test activity involves three main components: environment (where the tests take place), protocol (defining what tests are executed and how), and evaluation metrics (used to assess the results of the tests). The execution of physical testing, i.e., the object of this service, corresponds to supporting the customer in executing with the system(s) under test the procedures specified by the protocol in the specified environment and identifying and solving any issues that may negatively affect the tests. In most cases, support by AgrifoodTEF involves assistance by both agronomists (for agricultural aspects) and engineers (for aspects related to the technological infrastructure supporting the tests). Beside the object of this service, i.e., test execution, AgrifoodTEF can, if requested, support the customer along any other aspect and phase of the physical experimentation pipeline. For instance, for the design of the environment and protocol to be used for the test, the customer can either proceed autonomously or exploit services S00106 and S00107. Similarly, preparation of the test environment can be done either by the customer or by AgrifoodTEF via service S00110; in both cases, assistance in interconnecting the system under test with AgrifoodTEF’s test infrastructure is available via service S00111. Finally, data collection during the test or data processing and performance evaluation after the conclusion of the test, if needed, can be provided by AgrifoodTEF via services S00113 and S00114, respectively.

Field Spectrometer Measurements

This service utilises field spectrometers to measure the spectral properties of physical environments, such as barns, greenhouses, or outdoor fields. By capturing detailed spectral data, we help you develop, improve, or validate your agri-food solutions, whether for monitoring plant health, optimising lighting conditions, or enhancing environmental control systems. The measurements provide insights into how different wavelengths of light interact with the environment, enabling fine-tuned adjustments for better crop growth, energy efficiency, or precision farming applications. Additionally, this service can serve as a follow-up to lab-scale measurements where hyperspectral technology is used to conduct pilot tests to determine which wavelengths provide valuable information. In this service, we then perform field tests on these specific wavelengths.

Functional safety testing of machines

Lukasiewicz Poznanski Instytut Technologiczny

Within the framework of this service, we offer the possibility of carrying out functional safety tests of objects in the form of, for example, autonomous vehicles, robots, machines, agricultural equipment and components, etc. The service provides opportunities to test these devices with measurements of their mechanical, physical, acoustic, electrical parameters and electromagnetic compatibility to assess the overall safety of the user of the tested vehicles, machines, equipment and components for agriculture, horticulture, forestry and food. Verification of the tested parameters is based on the requirements of standards and directives declared by the manufacturer as compatible with its product and general normative safety regulations. Initial evaluation of an object is carried out based on its provided design documentation and/or measurements made on a prototype based on harmonized and non-harmonized standards with relevant EU and sector regulations. In the case of autonomous vehicles, we also offer tests of the correctness of response and operation of safety devices built into their structures in standardized cases of hazardous situations. The results obtained can be used in the further process of product labelling, declaration of conformity to place the CE mark on the device.
