Machine Of The Year – Category Special Award” presented to AEF

This year’s Agritechnica fair in Hannover, Germany, proved it again: new developments in electronics and sensor technology today largely determine the degree of innovation of agricultural machinery and systems. Within this context the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEFAEF
The international industry organization, AEF, was founded during an October 2008 meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, by the seven internationally operating ag industry companies Agco, Claas, CNH, Grimme, John Deere, Kverneland Group and Pöttinger. Also founding members are the industry associations AEM (Association of Equipment Manufacturers) and VDMA (German Engineering Federation).) has received the award “Machine Of The Year – Category Special Award”. This award is presented by the Ag tech editorial committee of an important German agricultural publishing house at each Agritechnica show which occurs every two years. The AEFAEF

Governmental or semi-governmental bodies are not able to cast the rapid progress in electronics to standards, he said. Therefore the initiative of the industry to take the further development of the ISO 11783 standard into its own hands and then make aligned propositions to ISO represents dramatic progress.
