Potential applications and functionality will be presented and demonstrated using practical examples. These include site-specific soil treatment, the operation of automatic steering systems, machine monitoring and management as well as assessment and use of data for field catalogues.
Online application with CROP SENSOR ISARIA
A CROP SENSOR ISARIA will be run on rails through a winter barley field at the CLAAS stand to demonstrate the practical functionality of plot-specific fertilisation. While travelling over the field, the sensor measures green leaf intensity and the crop density to then calculate the current nitrogen requirements for the particular parcels. Visitors will have a live experience of how the sensor directly controls the slide opening of the attached fertiliser spreader and opens it wider or closes it depending on the calculated requirement. The system can also be used for pest management.
Control ISO-Bus Machines with iPad
Visitors can also become acquainted with the newly developed “EASY on board App” and its potential applications at the CLAAS stand. The app makes it possible to operate the basic functions of ISO-Bus machines using an iPad. This includes, for example, controlling tractor and machine parameters or detecting malfunctions.
The FLEET VIEW application is another innovation presented by CLAAS. The application makes it possible to coordinate grain transport during harvesting, saving time and money. All of the drivers in a logistics chain are continuously informed by smartphone or tablet PC regarding the position and grain fill levels of the combine harvesters in the fleet. This information helps a driver to immediately decide which combine harvester they should empty next and which route they should set for it.
