Automatic construction of technological routes with horseback riding

Digitization is the factor that facilitates our life. Electronics is and will continue to be of great help in the efficiency and ease of the work itself. But, first of all, to be attractive, the electronics must be functional, avoid errors and, in order to have a clear advantage and the information collected must be processed.

One of the digital products created by Horses And CarAn automatic feature function of technological paths. If so far all Horsch's sowers have been delivered in standard with technological paths, starting from this year, on request, the technological paths will be fully automated. The signal to change the work path will be given through the GPS system and not through the work position. That is, they will be designed automatically, regardless of how the operator chooses to start or finish a plot.

Although on the Horsch monitors of the sowing of the earth, there are, for 18-20 years, the possibility of creating technological paths, the manufacturer has sought a solution for a long time to be designed without more Take into account the working position of the machineBut only for the GPS position. That is, it doesn't matter what purpose we start, at what end we go, we go in line or jump 2-3 lines or go back, when the position of the GPS tells us exactly: This is where technological paths must be drawnThis will happen automatically. Therefore, the errors generated by the human factor will be completely avoided.

What does the Autoline function do?

When designing the technological paths, you need to drive the tractor, even if there is a GPS driving system, or even if, for example, jumping every second path would improve the workflow. Often, the errors of the technological paths are the result of an inconclusive count of the number of traces. With Horsch CarThe positions of the other technological paths are automatically calculated after having designed the first. To sowing, their research is no longer necessary. Every time the equipment enters a track that includes a technological path, the guide valves are activated automatically.

Technically speaking, the working signal for technological paths will be given and imposed by the GPS system and not by the machine position system. It is very simple. The GPS position confirms every time we are and will activate and disable the technological paths. Very simple. Now it will have to be activated by the monitor and, if it happens, however, technological paths not in the position which, at a certain point, at a certain point, that is, there are also rhythms in which it is possible to draw both technological paths in a single step or from the combinations. For example, at a sowing of 6 m you have a pace of 24 m. That is, every time the technological path will be designed between rhythm 2 and rhythm 3. This is one on rhythm 2 and one on the rhythm. Now we have the sound, acoustic, visual warning, in the monitor, to remedy the situation from its debut. We will not wait a few weeks to see what we did on the field. And that's all Car. Except that it should be very clear that, for the Autoline function, Horsch together with partner Mewi, he agreed that, starting from this autumn, all the seeds that will be sold on the market will be equipped with Touchscreen monitor (because there are some requirements) and with a position signal, GPS signal on the tractor, which will lead to the Horsch monitor. If there is already a GPS system on the tractor, we can also load sowing directly into the tractor monitor and we will use all these resources in our favor. «

Advantages of using the Autoline function

The design of the technological paths will no longer represent a «torment», as before. Several farmers refused to use them, because, on the one hand, it was tiring for the operator, it had to be extremely attentive and errors appeared and, on the other, sowing did not increase during work, etc. However, half of our customers use them and used them successfully. A quarter of them are not, and those in the other quarter are not interested, because they believe they have GPS systems in the car and herbicides, for treatments and fertilizers and say it is easier.

Horsch has always worried about creating standard operations that bring benefits and pay particular attention to the treatments to be applied to plants. In addition to the fact that the self -function function exends you from an expensive GPS, there are also agronomic advantages, translated into the reduction of the destruction of plants

But we must keep in mind that death plants and ironed, in different stages of development, will have their part of influence, they will be a deposit of diseases or parasites for the rest of the year. And how beautiful it is when you go to Germany, when you are on the plane before landing and you see everything a beauty of technological paths, a clear return, nobody approaches nothing, it is order and discipline. The path, apart from the fact that it gives you this advantage of performing treatments without having GPS systems, also has the advantage that an order offers you and when we put a layer of flowers we want to put it as straight and beautiful as aesthetics is part of us.
