Implementation of parallel driving
Integrate parallel driving systems, train operators and avoid gaps, overlaps and excessive plant trampling during operations
The use of parallel driving increases the quality of operations and allows you to avoid the most typical problems — gaps, overlaps and trampling of crops. The operation of equipment without implemented technology leads to a decrease in productivity and overspending of commodities at all stages of a production season.
Before investing in the implementation of parallel driving, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of the quality of operations with UAVs. Crop monitoring and analysis of gaps, overlaps and trampling of plants makes it possible to estimate the company's losses.
Before investing in the implementation of parallel driving, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of the quality of operations based on data from precision farming systems. The analysis of the data from machinery makes it possible to track the geometry of movement on the field.
The implementation of parallel driving involves the installation of navigation systems with various levels of functionality — indicators of direction, steering systems or hydraulic autopilots. This allows you to choose the optimal route for the machinery, track its location and trajectory.
The accuracy of machinery location on the field is one of the key aspects of parallel driving. SmartFarming enables producers to connect to a network of RTK stations and receive the most accurate signal (up to 2 cm).
On the basis of precise digital contours of the fields and data on the width of the unit, lines can be prepared in advance to ensure optimal movement. Navigation lines will take into account the shape of the field, the presence of obstacles and should be used during the season by different types of machinery.
Personnel training during the implementation of parallel driving includes installation, configuration and maintenance of equipment, as well as task planning and creation of navigation lines.
Along with the introduction of navigation systems, an important point is the adjustment of the technology, which requires constant control of the quality and efficiency of the equipment. Analysis of data from on-board equipment and UAVs will provide you with the necessary indicators to optimize operations.
Parallel driving is the basis for the implementation of other precision farming solutions, in particular, differentiated tillage, precision planting, variable-rate application of fertilizers and CPP, yield mapping, etc. With proper configuration, the technology will help improve the quality, accuracy and cost-effectiveness of operations, as well as avoid trampling.
Higher quality of operations
Rational use of commodities
Increased profitability of production
The presence of equipment is not a 100% guarantee of the result. 80% of manufacturers have this equipment, but they do not use it to its full extent. We can analyze whether you are making full use of your existing infrastructure and develop recommendations to improve the efficiency of your operations.
If the technology is correctly installed, you will be able to visually observe the results during field operations: the number of overlaps, gaps and areas where plants are trampled by machinery will decrease. To digitize the result, it is necessary to analyze data both from UAVs and navigation systems.
First of all, it is necessary to take into account what systems are already installed or in use. In some cases, their correct setting is sufficient for parallel driving. If this is not possible for some reason, we can choose a system that best integrates with your equipment.
The payed signal will provide higher accuracy of equipment positioning — up to 3 cm. Data accuracy is a key factor for minimizing displacement during the movement of machinery in autopilot mode.
In order to evaluate the economic effect of parallel driving, it is necessary to understand what is the bandwidth of the double processing in a particular technological operation. Usually, this indicator is from 3% to 15%, depending on the area of the field. The parallel driving system will reduce costs to 1-2%. Costs of trampling may also be calculated and serve as an additional indicator of the economic effect.
It depends on the existing infrastructure, parallel driving issues and your farm’s needs. Contact our specialists for a consultation and estimated costs of the project.
