PAMI (Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute)

PAMI is an applied research, development, and testing organization that is ISO 9001:2008 registered. Many of the research and development techniques, technologies, processes and expertise PAMI uses to serve its agricultural clients, are commonly used in other industrial sectors, making for an easy knowledge transfer to a diversity of projects. These non-agricultural projects are all fee-for-service, which helps PAMI generate necessary revenue to maintain its professional and technical staff and infrastructure to serve its primary agricultural mandate. The agricultural sector alone does not generate sufficient projects each year to effectively maintain PAMI’s operations at a level sufficient to provide the quality and diversity needed. Our staff work with manufacturers, producer groups, and individuals in design, fabrication, prototyping, and testing. Staff travel across Canada and around the world as needed to work with the machinery in different crop situations. PAMI can offer: ■ Testing services done in the lab or field ■Prototype machinery development ■Design services ■Facilities that include a fabrication shop and secure lab ■Select cooperators’ site, and off-road track ■Reporting expertise that includes detail documentation, data analysis, formal reporting, and presentations ■Confidentiality and security suited to each client’s needs ■Flexible working arrangements ■Assistance in planning projects, including proposal and budget development
