Production system Small Grains:
| AutoPathTM - Path planning and precision implement guidance solution for small grains Digital systems and IT |
The new features of full field guidance line functionality of AutoPathTM highly increase its applicability and enable new crop production practices. Based on the field boundary and implements working width it automatically creates guidance lines for the entire field & season including headland. Customers benefit from reduced set up times and ease of switching between guidance lines and field plans. |
|
John Deere Active Slope Machinery and equipment for |
The innovative Active Slope AdjustmentTM technology provides active material re-distribution on the cleaning shoe by a variable speed conveyor belt during sidehill operation and excels existing slope compensation systems on the market. Additionally, through its active pre-cleaning attributes there is first evidence that the performance in level-land & high grain and MOG conditions is increased. |
|
John Deere Combine AutoUnload Machinery and equipment for combine harvesting |
Harvesting is an extremely complex and mentally stressful process. This complexity is intensified when unloading on-the-go. Combine AutoUnload builds on existing MachineSync technology and automatically fills the cart using a stereo camera, machine guidance systems on the combine and follower, and a grain cart’s scale weight without spillage or slowing down. |
|
Monosem QuadRate Pro Machinery and equipment for drilling and sowing Partner: Monosem |
The new QuadRate Pro on the ValoTerra Monosem planter is the first system to manage and to document the row-by-row variable rate application of seed, fertilizer and 2 micro-granulates simultaneously during the planting process. QuadRate Pro helps to save inputs, maximize yield and profits, protect the environment, and increase operator comfort. |
|
John Deere EZCalTM Remote Seed & Fertilizer Calibration Machinery and equipment for |
EZCalTM Remote enables automatic calibration of seed and fertilizer for all tanks of a seeder conveniently without touching the metering system. EZCalTM cuts calibration time by 60 % and allows calibration while filling the seeder. A portable EZCalTM unit enables off-board calibration at any place. Results can be shared online and transferred to seeders via John Deere Operations CenterTM. |
DLG-Agrifuture Concept Winner Shortlist:
|
Dual.Volt.24M Agrifuture Concept Partner: Crop.Zone |
Dual.Volt.24M uses the “Electric-Hybrid-Herbicide technology” for crop treatment without non-selective herbicides and combines it with a broadcast and band spraying system for sustainable high efficiency. 24m working width and adaptive applicators allow desiccation, intercrop and weed control, also camera-controlled inter-row treatment that flexibly adapts to different row spacing and plant sizes. |
Production system Dairy & Livestock:
|
Grassland Connected Path Planning and Guidance Digital systems and IT |
Improvements in grassland yield and quality plus lower input cost can be achieved by easily connecting the path plans of mowing, tedding, raking, and baling or chopping using new functionality in AutoPath™. It will ease the application of Controlled Traffic Farming in grassland with minimal setup time to reduce machine overlap and wheel traffic, limiting losses from compaction and contamination. |
|
John Deere Corn Silage System Digital systems and IT |
With the John Deere Corn Silage System (CSS) farmers can already today comply to the EU's stated objectives for 2030 of reducing fertilizer by 20% and the risk of crop protection by 50%. Using the John Deere Operation Center™ and key John Deere Precision Ag technologies the CSS allows in a user-friendly way to maximize output while significantly minimizing inputs in practical farming operations. |
|
Milk Sustainability Center Digital systems and IT Partner: DeLaval |
The Milk Sustainability Center (MSC) is a digital eco-system that allows dairy farmers to improve the efficiency and sustainability of their operations. Farmers will use the MSC to monitor Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) for nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2e, for their entire farm, specific fields, or their herd. The center will also provide data to allow dairy farmers to compare their performance to other dairy operations and identify key areas for improvement. The eco-system will be open for relevant partners to join in the future. |
