Ecosystem of Connected Solutions
Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company; NASDAQ:RAVN), the leader in
precision agriculture solutions, debuts its autonomous platform,
Dot®, for the first time today at Farm Progress Virtual Experience,
one of the largest public farm shows in the United States. The
autonomous platform is compatible with a variety of implements,
including New Leader’s NL5000 G5™ Crop Nutrient Applicator, which
will be shown with the demo. New Leader is a strategic implement
partner that will accelerate early adoption for Raven Autonomy™.
Because of the company’s industry-leading technology, Raven was
asked by Farm Progress to offer a close-up look at autonomous
machinery in action. The public can watch the full demo session on

The autonomous platform builds on Raven’s portfolio of
market-leading precision ag technology, including the company’s
recent advancement to full canopy steering and guidance through
VSN® Visual Guidance. VSN’s latest technology advancements will
also be highlighted at the show during "An Inside Look at the
Technology Behind Raven Autonomy™" on September 15 at 2:30 p.m.
CDT. With VSN, machine operators can cover 20 percent more acres
due to increased speed from no longer requiring manual steering. It
reduces driver fatigue and misapplication in the field, which can
cost growers yield and profit of up to 2 percent. VSN, the only
high-precision non-contact full canopy solution in the industry,
uses radar to determine its path. Further integrating automation
into precision farming, VSN’s advancements are Raven’s latest
technological step towards fully-autonomous solutions.
“Bringing autonomous solutions to the farm will allow us to
connect all aspects of the operation for the first time,” said Wade
Robey, Executive Director of Raven Autonomy. “We will connect,
control and optimize the full precision agricultural ecosystem.
This provides farmers greater control and access to more
information to optimize decision making. Farmers will see
efficiency gains across their entire operation, better equipping
them to compete in a challenging world.”
Raven’s advancements in autonomous technology for agriculture
operations are aligned and built upon the company’s past years of
innovation. From Slingshot® connectivity and logistics, to guidance
and steering and application control — this full spectrum of
technology comes together to increase efficiency across all aspects
of an operation.
Farm Progress Virtual Experience will stream on September 15 –
17, 2020. Register for this free three-day virtual event and learn
