This Engage proposal is the start of an applied research program between Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP) andindustry partner North West Communities Wood Products Ltd., which manages and markets wild rice throughNWC Wild Rice. NWC Wild Rice is a fully Indigenous-owned and operated business, working in collaborationwith Métis and Cree wild rice grower/harvesters in the far North West region of Saskatchewan. NWC is proudto partner with Saskatchewan Polytechnic, working together to develop improvements to harvester airboats.Saskatchewan Polytechnic's research team and students will be engaged in developing design elements on wildrice harvesting equipment that offer the highest likelihood to positively impact harvest results for the benefit ofthe harvesters, their families, and the lands and waters where they live and work.This stage of work includes design innovation & early POC (Proof of Concept) hardware development.Saskatchewan Polytech will be in ongoing discussions with the growers/harvesters, and will leverageleading-edge 3D design and advanced manufacturing technology to dramatically increase wild rice farmers'efficiency and profitability. This phase will incorporate electronic-only (virtual) builds to limit iterations andcost. Software can create 3D prints and software driven machining/weldments in SP labs and shops so POCcan be physically seen, tested a necessary using this software model. This research partnership is grounded inthe shared concept that harvesting technology for the North's largest agricultural crop must be efficient,maximize the return on the crop to the grower/harvesters, and protect the health of the environment. To date,there has not been significant technological adaptation and advancement done to support machinery in thisSaskatchewan-based agricultural industry. This lack is especially stark when compared to the advances indry-land farming equipment and technology available in Saskatchewan since the 1970s. This project may bethe first time an investment in engineering research and development, or even any modern efficiency thinking,has been applied to the mechanization of wild rice agriculture.

该参与提案是萨斯喀彻温省理工学院（SP）和行业合作伙伴North West Communities Wood Products Ltd.之间进行应用研究计划的开始，该计划通过NWC Wild Rice管理和销售野生大米。 NWC Wild Rice是一家完全拥有的土著和经营的业务，与萨斯喀彻温省西北地区的Métis和Cree Wild Rice Grower/Harvesters合作。 NWC为与萨斯喀彻温省理工学院合作而感到自豪，共同努力为收割机提供改进。SaskatchewanPolytechnic的研究团队和学生将参与开发有关野马收获设备的设计元素，这些设备可为您提供最高的可能性，从而为您的家庭和陆地上的工具和工具提供的兴趣，从而为您提供最高的可能性，从而产生积极影响的成果。 （概念验证）硬件开发。SaskatchewanPolytech将与增长/收割机进行持续的讨论，并将杠杆式增长3D设计和先进的制造技术，以极大地提高野生水稻农民的效率和熟练程度。此阶段将结合仅电子（虚拟）构建以限制迭代和成本。软件可以在SP实验室和商店中创建3D打印和软件驱动的机械/焊接，因此可以对Poccan进行物理观察，并使用此软件模型进行了必要的测试。这种研究伙伴关系基于一个共同的概念，即为北部最大的农作物收获技术必须有效，最大程度地提高农作物的收益到种植者/收割者，并保护环境的健康。迄今为止，还没有进行大量的技术适应和进步来支持总部位于ThisSaskatchewan的农业行业的机械。与1970年代以来，萨斯喀彻温省可用的Indry-Land农业设备和技术相比，这种缺乏尤为明显。该项目可能是对工程研发的首次投资，甚至是任何现代效率思维，都应用于野生水稻农业的机制。
