In order to efficiently implement advanced works in the field of R&D, the project “OBR2” – OBR.SaMASZ.PL was created as an element of the concept of SuperFabryka 4.0 for the needs of the Metal Processing Cluster – National Key Cluster. The project started in 2020, from 2023 it will go into the durability phase, and its completion is scheduled for 2028. The value of the investment is 25 million, with a subsidy of 8.2 million.
The scope of the project within the infrastructure area includes equipping the OBR hall with 7 machine tools for the development of new technologies and prototypes and 2 research stations, as well as the development of IT infrastructure supporting modelling and simulation of technological processes using Digital Twin as part of the SUPERFACTORY 4.0 research agenda.
Today’s Research and Development Center is an inseparable element of the entire company, consisting of over 70 people, including 30 designers. We work on over 20 designs of new machines on an ongoing basis and keep over 300 existing machines up-to-date.
However, the projects do not end there. In May this year, the National Center for Research and Development concluded the competition “Fast track – Agrotech POIR.01.01.01-00-2167 / 20”, under which we received funding for “Research and development work on a set of agricultural machines for sustainable forage harvesting using intelligent SaMASZ technologies supporting the concept of the Agricultural Valley 4.0 “The value of the project will be 8.4 million, of which 4.7 million will be co-financed. The project is carried out jointly with the Białystok University of Technology (Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical) as part of the Consortium of companies.
As part of the project, it is planned to develop and test a series of machines, i.e. a double-sided disc mower working with a front mower, a rotary tedder and a rotary rake. The machines under development will be distinguished by innovative solutions allowing for precise, sustainable agriculture
