Professionalisation in higher education

Taking Advantage of University Services

Professionals can use the university infrastructure to gain acces to materials and knowhow. Research & Development professionals can use the technological halls, for example.

THE PFT LABEL (PLATE-FORME TECHNOLOGIQUE)

This Ministry of Education and Research label is a means to connect different establishments in order to give support for innovation and help develop business ventures. Mainly through conducting experiments and providing training.

Quality and precision are guaranteed: PFT Innovalim is recognised all over France by professionals for the efficiency of its service.

Conducting Experiments

Experiments are most often carried out within the field of work corresponding to the professional sector of the commissioning company but can be extended to other themes for specific projects.

This partnership between scientists and professionals can lead to greater advances in the sectors concerned.

ExampleCreation of an automatic livestock sorting machine based on electronic identification tags

Context:

Livestock marked with a microchip can lead to more efficient animal husbandry systems.

One of the issues in the ruminants sector is the sorting of animals into groups. To improve extensive precision animal husbandry methods for large flocks of sheep and goats, the Joint Research Unit SELMET with the technicians from the Domaine du Merle, students from Arles Technical High School and the company 'Wallace' has created this tool.

Results:

The originality revolves around the fact that the animals do not have to be immobile. As the herd progresses through a channel, only the animals who are identified as belonging to a new group will be slowed down and directed through a different gate.

Thanks to the speedy detection of the microchips the herd can be separated into several groups rapidly. One person can operate the system according to information from an electroninic weighbridge or a list.

Sharing:

The company 'Wallace' is manufacturing and marketing this device. It can be seen in action at Domaine du Merle before ordering yours.
