About the Institute

Kampus Instytutu Inżynierii Produkcji

The Institute of Mechanical Engineering was established on October 1, 2019 on the basis of the Faculty of Production Engineering at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences.

The main research direction of the Institute covers the development of modern techniques and technologies in agricultural and forestry production as well as renewable energy technologies along with the modeling of production engineering and management systems and processes.

In 2019, the following scope of scientific research was carried out at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering / at the Faculty of Production Engineering, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW

  1. Experimental research, modeling and design of machines and processes for agriculture and forestry;
  2. Research on elements and machines in terms of functionality, control, efficiency, design optimization;
  3. Improving plant production techniques used in precision agriculture;
  4. Technical, technological, logistic and economic aspects of biomass production and its conversion into composite and gaseous fuels;
  5. Management in the energy and agribusiness sectors in a changing environment, including the technical environment;
  6. Research on biotechnical aspects in agricultural and forestry production technologies;
  7. Automation of agricultural production processes;
  8. Hybrid Renewable Energy Power Systems;
  9. Analysis and modeling of phenomena in biological and technical systems.

Research works at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering are carried out in many ways and concern issues related to systems and technologies based on renewable energy sources, with automation, visualization and monitoring of production processes, food preservation technologies, production and service management, modeling and simulation of systems and selected work processes, such as and sets of agricultural machines, agri-food industry and vehicles, improvement of technological processes in agriculture and forestry with the use of simulation modeling, design and construction works on new solutions for agricultural and forestry machines and devices, improvement of their working units and methods of use in various working conditions, and research on modern automatic control systems for machine work processes.
