KUBOTA & MASSEY FERGUSON AMONGST RHASS AWARD WINNERS
2021 Technical Innovation honours

The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) has announced the 2021 winners of the Technical Innovation Awards, with one Gold, six Silver and five Certificates of Commendations being awarded.  

 

The RHASS say the awards showcase and reward innovation and development within the agricultural sector and this year applicants were once again invited to enter online with judging taking place virtually. Winners will be featured as part of the Royal Highland Showcase with a formal award ceremony planned for the 2022 Royal Highland Show. 

 

Gold

 

Gold awards are presented to previous Silver award winners for continuous outstanding merit. This year, Calibrate Inc Ltd earned Gold for their Heatpump Heat/Chill 6MW System.

 

Silver

 

Kubota UK earned a Silver for their M7003 Premium KVT tractor and the BV Series TIM round baler. The TIM (Tractor Implement Management) is a cross-product and cross-manufacturer ISOBUS solution for the agricultural machinery industry, whereby the implement is able to control certain tractor functions. The TIM system enables the implement to automatically control certain functions of the tractor to optimise the quality and efficiency of the overall system. Kubota is the first manufacturer to receive the renowned AEF certification for a tractor/implement combination. 

 


 
Massey Ferguson also won a Silver for their MF 8S Tractor. Built from a blank canvas using a ‘Voice of the Customer’ study, this was used this to create something completely new. Key feedback underlined the need for comfort, ease of use, value for money, excellent reliability, intuitive and convenient controls, efficiency transmitting maximum power to the ground, 100% connectivity and the ability to work with the most demanding implements.

This year’s entries were exciting examples of the innovative work going on within the agri-tech industry, and especially inspiring were the number of software solutions entered this year. 
 
“The benefits to winning for businesses and brands are significant, providing a respected mark of quality for customers to look out for. After such a challenging year, it is heartening to see such quality entries come in once again.”
