Strategy for the development of agricultural machinery : importance of patent analysis

During the product development, patents help identify new project opportunities and, if well analyzed, can reveal technical strategies in terms of how countries, companies, and universities link patents and product development. In the context of the agricultural machinery sector there is a complexity in the integration of data from patents with the stages of development conceptions. In this context, the article aims to present how the information obtained from a patent bank can be used for the development of agricultural machinery. As a methodology, the Systematic Bibliographic Review was selected to identify and relate strategies that add value throughout the agricultural machinery project. As a result, research has shown that the use of patent information can assist in the development of agricultural machinery from technical data. In addition, patents are characterized as a valuable source of technological information, as it is inexpensive and capable of feeding a company in its own research activity and in the development of new products. It is concluded that the information from patents, suggested as strategies in the model of agricultural machinery development, allows for managerial and technical decisions aimed at improving products. Finally, the research contributed to fill the information gap between patents and the development of agricultural machinery, a diffusion of data that, if well connected, can promote a competitive differential in companies

Os Institutos Jurídicos e os Custos de Transação - Uma Abordagem da Análise Econômica do Direito.

O presente trabalho objetiva apresentar o arcabouço teórico  das Teorias Institucionais e Neoinstitucionais, formulados por economistas e aplicá-las sob o olhar da Análise Econômica do Direito, no que tange ao papel das regras e instituições jurídicas (aqui tratadas simplesmente como institutos jurídicos), nas ações dos agentes econômicos e nas suas relações. Todas as relações econômicas possuem custos nas suas realizações, comumente denominados de Custos de Transação, sendo que quando os mesmos são minimizados, as relações comerciais são potencializadas, favorecendo o desenvolvimento econômico da sociedade. As regras jurídicas e o Judiciário possuem papel relevante na determinação desses Custos de Transação e dessa forma, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento econômico

The proposition of factors for analysis of the maintenance of agricultural tractors from a systematic bibliographic review

The maintenance of agricultural tractors can be understood as the set of procedures that seek to keep the equipment in the best working conditions. However, carrying out adequate planning that can help optimize the maintenance of agricultural tractors is a complex task. The article consists of identifying and presenting a proposal of analysis factors for the maintenance of agricultural tractors, as well as their technical characteristics and modes of operation. In methodological terms, a Systematic Bibliographic Review was applied on maintenance and planning for agricultural tractors in two international databases. The research is classified as descriptive and comparative, of an exploratory nature. As a result, the study contributed to the information gap regarding the maintenance of agricultural tractors. In addition, we identified the main factors that must be analyzed to keep the equipment in the best operating conditions and that are responsible for increasing its useful life and avoiding future problems. The maintenance factor, which includes checking the level and oil change of the front axle, is characterized as the most important analysis procedure

Systematic analysis of reference models in product development: case studies in the agricultural machinery and implementation sector

With the growth in the machinery and agricultural implements sector the importance of the area of Product Development Process (PDP) has expanded significantly in the last decades. The surge is due to increased competition among manufacturers, thus requiring high quality products with greater efficiency in their production processes. In addition, the management of the phases that comprise the PDP is considered complex by specialized literature and manufacturing companies. Thus, the objective of the study is to present the main reference models that contextualize the PDP in order to systematically analyze its methodological classifications. In addition, the research seeks to explore the work methodologies currently applied in the PDP of the agricultural machinery and implements manufacturers located in the northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil. The research adopted the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and the case study as investigation methods, classified as descriptive and comparative, of an exploratory nature. As a result, it was possible to identify a set of reference models that are usually adopted to operationalize the PDP. Research has shown that project support tools are not used by companies, while design and industrial management tools are applied. Finally, it was verified that companies have little knowledge about reference models

Systematic proposition of integration between development of agricultural machines and quality management system for the industrial sector

Um dos problemas das múltiplas variáveis e restrições encontradas nos sistemas produtivos das empresas e é responsável por influenciar a qualidade final do produto é a seleção adequada do material utilizado na fabricação. Assim, para que não haja divergências entre a especificação e o requisito de design no processo, são necessárias orientações efetivas para verificar sua conformidade após o recebimento. A verificação é realizada por meio de testes técnicos, por outro lado, para obter as características das propriedades mecânicas do mesmo. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é apresentar propostas sistemáticas para a elaboração de garantia de qualidade de testes mecânicos sobre a recepção de materiais metálicos aplicados ao desenvolvimento de máquinas agrícolas. Em termos metodológicos, foi aplicada uma Revisão de Literatura Sistemática (SLR) e vários casos foram estudados. Esta pesquisa é classificada como descritiva e comparativa, de natureza exploratória que utiliza um conjunto de ações de coleta, análise e tratamento de dados, a fim de auxiliar no desenvolvimento de atividades planejadas e organizadas que permitam implementar os testes necessários para o correto. qualificação do material recebido pelas empresas. Os resultados apresentam uma proposição sistemática que pode ser adotada na realização de testes mecânicos em materiais metálicos no controle de recepção em empresas que desenvolvem máquinas agrícolas e que podem ajudar outros segmentos de mercado. ações de análise e tratamento, a fim de auxiliar no desenvolvimento de atividades planejadas e organizadas que permitam implementar os testes necessários para a qualificação correta do material recebido pelas empresas.

Industry 4.0 perspectives in the health sector in Brazil

Health 4.0 can be understood as the set of procedures that seek to improve the efficiency and speed of health professionals with possible guidelines for combining patient data in hospitals. However, systematizing and qualitatively describing the contributions of industry 4.0 in the context of the Brazilian health sector is a complex task. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of industry 4.0 related to the health sector and its respective characteristics in Brazil. In addition, it discusses the prospects for greater use of technology in health care. In methodological terms, an exploratory field research was conducted with a non-random and intentional sample of professionals working in the technological context of Brazilian health. The research is classified as descriptive and qualitative, exploratory. The results contribute to narrow the information gap about industry 4.0 in the Brazilian health sector. The study allowed to develop a concept map of health 4.0 regarding the professional profile, considering the adoption of technologies that may favor the sector
