Advanced Machinery and Plant Engineering in Viticulture and Enology

Increase of the knowledge of the operator's safety and ergonomics principles relevant to the mechanization in viticulture;

- assessment of the "winery system" in terms of inputs and wastes energy;

- acquisition of the theoretical and operational methods for the analysis of simple and complex systems of machinery and plants.

At the end of the course,the student will be able to:

- assess the safety and the ergonomic levels of agricultural machinery used in viticulture;

- organize an efficient chain regarding the machines devoted to carry out the chemical distribution in vineyards;

- characterize the automation and innovation levels of machinery for the grape harvest;

- describe a winery in a systemic approach;

- assess the renewable energy impact for the wine industry;

- organize an automated winery by applying innovative technologies.
