Standardized short cycle measurement approach of p

Recording measurement cycles for combine harvesters is essential yet challenging, particularly when optimizing and designing modern powertrain structures. This paper introduces a standardized trajectory and heuristic for process control aimed at enabling a broader range of load profiles to be examined within a defined measurement setting. The methodology includes the performance of a set of short profiles to robustly capture a cross-section of possible load scenarios, enhancing reproducibility. The recorded data are subsequently compared to reference fleet data to assess the degree of coverage of the measurement cycle and evaluate its capability for powertrain assessment against real infield operation data. Factors such as engine power, set speeds, and system dynamics are crucial for optimization efforts aimed at improving powertrain quality. The approach outlined ensures that recorded load scenarios are of limited length, representative of covered loads, and reproducible, ultimately providing a viable framework for practical and effective optimization in combine harvester performance within varied environmental contexts.
