Technical Innovation 2024
Electric harrow
Electric rotary harrow.
What is innovative: the rotary harrow is powered by a 700 V DC coming from the towing vehicle. There are five electric motors, each of them actuating an input gear. The rotors are kinematically connected to each other by a series of gears, as in traditional harrows. So, the inputs of the five electric motors are electronically controlled to provide exactly the requested working parameters, independently from the load on the single gear.
Foreseen advantages: improved controllability of the operating parameters. Future developments will allow real-time adaptation to the local soil conditions.
Front-rear bale loading grab
Bale loading grab.
What is innovative: the grab can be mounted at the front or at the rear of the tractor. It does not require the tractor to stop, a speed reduction is enough to successfully load the bale. The grab can transport two bales simultaneously. It avoids typical maneuvers needed for example in case of bale forks.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity, operator's comfort and safety.
ORION PRO
Integrated system for regulating and measuring the actual amount of product sprayed by liquid fertilizer distributors.
What is innovative: the system actually measures the flowrate, instead of calculating it. It is made of an electromagnetic flowmeter, a solenoid valve and the control unit.
Foreseen advantages: reduced environmental impact for the precise distribution of liquid fertilizer.
McCormick Hyper SafetyView
Computer vision system for an agricultural tractor to avoid collisions and to facilitate implement coupling.
What is innovative: the system itself, made of a CPU, four cameras for a 360° view, and a specific software. It offers five main functions: radar view to identify the distance from obstacles, 360° vision around the tractor, reconstruction of the tractor trajectory superimposed to a real image, view of each camera with zoom, aid for attaching implements.
Foreseen advantages: increased operator's comfort and safety.
MC 780 E
Electric pedestrian controlled tractor.
What is innovative: the electric motors, one powering the wheels and the other powering the PTO, which replace the internal combustion engine.
Foreseen advantages: reduction of the environmental impact, increased performance and operator's safety.
ZEPHIRO
Bush and tree sprayer.
What is innovative: the sprayer is fully electric, and it features eight fans, each of them carrying two PWM nozzles. It also has a computer vision system with AI, and it communicates to the tractor with ISOBUS protocol.
Foreseen advantages: reduced energy consumption and environmental impact.
Heavy Duty Suspension for Quadtrac
Idler wheel suspension system to accommodate ununiform ground conditions.
What is innovative: the independently suspended idler wheels in the undercarriage.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity, reduction in vertical vibrations transmitted to the operator and in soil compaction.
New Holland T4 F/N/V - Advanced Vision Assisted Guidance
Perception-based system for auto-guidance in orchards and vineyards, integrating other features.
What is innovative: compared to similar solutions available on the market, the system is operable in GPS-denied environments and at the same time is capable of 3D canopy modelling, automatic end of row turn, integration with the vehicle with direct control of its functions, integration with some implements.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity and reduced environmental impact in case of spraying applications, also for less skilled operators.
ENERGY BOX
Battery-powered hydraulic system to enhance the hydraulic performance of an operating machine.
What is innovative: the solution is designed to be used in conjunction with a machine and not as a stand-alone device. In addition it is powered by a battery which can be recharged during normal machine use at low loads.
Foreseen advantages: this solution allows for a smaller machine to be used for a determined task, with cost and fuel savings.
FAST ATTACH
Quick coupling system for the attachments of telehandlers.
What is innovative: compared to other quick couplers on the market, this is the only solution which connects mechanically, hydraulically and electronically the attachment to a telehandler, with the operator managing the whole sequence from the cab.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity, operator's comfort and safety.
DSES CONTACTLESS
Pruning shear and glove with a device for transmitting and receiving high-frequency electromagnetic fields to avoid the risk of cutting.
What is innovative: a transmitting unit is incorporated in the glove of the hand not gripping the pruning shear. When its signal enters a pre-determined danger zone on the shear, the latter automatically opens. Other solutions on the market reduce the risk of cutting and injuries when the part of the human body is already caught by the shear; this solution instead prevents the dangerous situation to happen.
Foreseen advantages: increased safety for the operator.
OPTIMER SMART SOIL TECHNOLOGY
Independent disc harrow.
What is innovative: the harrow features an electronic control, based on ISOBUS protocol, which allows uniform working depth across the entire width as well as precise alignment with the tractor even when working on slopes. It also allows automatic raising and lowering at the headland.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity and operator's comfort.
BALER AUTOMATION on VB 7100
Variable-chamber round baler.
What is innovative: the baler features, among other functionalities, ISOBUS Task Controller GEOlocation and Task Controller Section Control. The first functionality allows the baler to add geolocation data to the other output data collected on the field, like bale size and weight, moisture and others. The second functionality automates sequences, such as lifting the pick-up at headlands and doing all the operations to clear a blockage.
Foreseen advantages: increased traceability and operator's comfort and safety.
Kubota BV6160/6190 featuring TIM Pack 2.0
Variable chamber round baler.
What is innovative: among other mechanical optimization to reduce complexity and increase reliability, the baler has the TIM ISOBUS functionality. Compared to similar solutions, the baler here is able to automatically correct the drawbar alignment to achieve the optimum bale shape. Also, the system is able to automatically manage the blockages in the crop flow, and to avoid the release of the bale on a slope.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity and operator's comfort and safety.
JUMBO X
Rotary harrow.
What is innovative: the working width, up to 10m, obtained thanks to folding and telescopic elements.
Foreseen advantages: increased productivity.
ZEN-ECO BLISS
Volumetric double-stranded straddling sprayer.
What is innovative: among other solutions, the sprayer features fans/conveyors with laminar air flow technology exploiting the Coandă effect, without blades so to replicate the benefits of a tunnel-type sprayer but with much lighter and simpler structures.
Foreseen advantages: reduced drift.
EnerG
Agricultural robot for soil working.
What is innovative: the robot is designed to carry up to three soil working attachments, with the objective to maximize efficiency. It is designed in particular for the horticultural sector.
Foreseen advantages: efficiency increase.
Smart Vineyard Tractor
Autonomous narrow tractor.
What is innovative: the tractor is capable of autonomous driving with no operator onboard along a vineyard or orchard. It is designed as a sensing-vehicle which, in addition to the driving tasks, can collect data to be used by the implements.
Foreseen advantages: improved labor force management and operator's safety.
Sawchain Grinder MJ10.8
Battery-powered chainsaw grinder with magnetic coupling for the chainsaw bar.
What is innovative: the ability to attach the grinder directly to the chainsaw bar using magnets, avoiding the need to uninstall the chain to grind it. This allows to grind the chain directly in the field.
Foreseen advantages: time and cost savings, compared to bench-mounted grinders; ergonomics improvements, compared to chainsaw bar grinders actuated manually.
Murcielago Lazer
Battery-operated electric olive shaker equipped with a sensor that can detect leaves and branches in front of the rods.
What is innovative: the sensor detecting the leaves and branches, allowing the shaker to automatically switch from idle speed to working speed and vice-versa. When the shaker gets nearer to the leaves, the speed is increased; when further from the leaves, the speed is reduced.
Foreseen advantages: improved energy efficiency, reduced noise and vibrations.
