Activities
Coordinate overall design related activities of the institute
Study designs of farm machines to select the most appropriate design
Prepare low cost designs of improved/modified farm machines
Select the most appropriate material for critical components
Design and Development
This division provides services to the agricultural machinery manufacturers regarding preparation of design, specifications and selection of appropriate material for critical components of farm machines.
It also extends the services to the Government Departments regarding preparation of specifications of agricultural machinery and equipment for standardization Agricultural Engineer (Design & Development) is the head of this division and performs the following research activities with the help of Assistant Agricultural Engineers and supporting staff.
Agronomy
To undertake fabrication jobs, AMRI is adequately equipped with fabrication workshop at Multan and Faisalabad. The workshop facilities are used to fabricate newly designed prototypes of agriculture machinery & equipment, modify / improve the prototypes and to provide repair and maintenance facilities / services for the vehicles and hard ware belonging to AMRI. Agricultural Engineer (F&W) AMRI Multan is head of this division and carries out the following activities:

Procure appropriate material for workshop use
Fabricate prototypes designed by research engineers
Modify the prototypes as per recommendations of research engineers
Test and Trials
This division provides the services to test the locally produced & imported agricultural machinery/ implements under local field conditions and suggest necessary modifications for their improvement. It also arranges field demonstrations of farm machinery for their promotion and displays of AMRI developed prototypes for their adaptation by the farming community. Agricultural Engineer (Test & Trial) is in-charge of this division and carry out testing of AMRI designed locally produced and imported agricultural machinery/implements under local field conditions and suggest necessary modifications for their improvement. Farmer’s day and farmers training session are also arranged for promotion of mechanization.
Research Facilities & Resources
Experimental Research Farm
Experimental farms for conducting research experiments are being maintained at Multan and Faisalabad. The services are also offered to the university students for conducting their research experiments at these farms. Biogas plants of different sizes are being maintained at Faisalabad for research and demonstration purpose.
Library
AMRI is maintaining a reference library for use of research engineers and scientists. Books borrowing service is also available for the professional staff. So for over 1600 books, journals, transactions and periodicals are available in stock.
