HOLLAND, Pa., Aug. 30,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New Holland Agriculture North
America is redefining its lineup of SP310F, SP370F, and SP410F
Guardian front boom sprayers to feature new technological and
precision capabilities. These sprayers integrate the advanced
precision technologies from Raven with the high horsepower and
large tanks New Holland sprayers
are known for to enhance efficiency in and out of the field while
covering more acres per hour in the field.
"The advancements made to the Guardian front boom sprayer are
really elevating the operator experience in the cab while improving
application accuracy and the quality of data collected," said
Sally Johnson, Vice President for
New Holland Agriculture North America. "These upgraded units are
connecting many components of an operation and data points for
owners and operators to find more efficiency and profitability, as
well as empowering them to make more informed agronomic and
logistical decisions."
Connected Workflow™ and
integration of Raven precision technology takes Guardian brand to
the next level
This lineup of Guardian sprayers incorporates precision
technologies: Slingshot® from Raven and
IntelliSpray™ II. The data generated from these features
are collected, streamlined, and aggregated by Raven's Connected
Workflow™ system. The Connected Workflow system works by
syncing data from the office to the field and back again for
simplified management of work, idle, and transit time. The data can
be used to create programs and strategies like herbicide rate
prescriptions for individual fields and is accessible by the
operator through the Slingshot mobile app.
With the incorporation of IntelliSpray II, the Guardian sprayers
now offer the most precise nozzle control system on the market and
ensure unmatched droplet coverage accuracy, up to 2.5 times more
accurate than comparable systems. These enhancements help operators
and growers optimize coverage, minimize skips and overlaps, and
reduce input costs. The IntelliSpray II pulse width modulation
system leads the industry with a broader range of applications –
Standard, Bypass, Variable Pressure, High Flow, High Flow VP, and
On/Off – higher flow and pressure ratings of up to 17% increased
flow and operating pressure and greater level of accuracy due to
its 20Hz pulse rate.
The utilization of Slingshot on the Guardian sprayers empowers
operators and growers to make more data-driven decisions in and out
of the field. Slingshot generates a high-level view of data from
beginning through completion of a job, including traceability
reports, application records, fleet efficiency track edits, and
transferable work orders.
Working alongside the Slingshot telematics is the
VSN® Visual Guidance, which uses state-of-the-art image
sensor and processing technologies to deliver a quicker response
rate, better overall sprayer control, reduced operator fatigue, and
improved data collection. These components have been shown to
improve efficiency by 20%. To accomplish these tasks, the visual
guidance system uses cameras and radars to guide the boom and drive
line of the sprayer. The use of the VSN system has proven to save
time and financial resources by minimizing the margin of error and
crop damage that can be inflicted by self-propelled sprayers.
"We strive for operators to have complete peace of mind while in
the cab of the Guardian sprayer," says Alex
Caldwell, product marketing manager, self-propelled sprayers
for New Holland North America. "The integration of the VSN system
allows drivers to operate the sprayer at 3-4 miles per hour faster
to cover more acres per day without risking crop damage. Not only
does the basic VSN system follow the rows with cameras, but the
VSN+ system allow operators to better see hidden waterways and
other obstacles. This alleviates a lot of the compounded fatigue
and stress operators experience when spending long hours in the
field."
Maximizing productivity in the
field with additional precision capabilities
Each Guardian sprayer model comes equipped with supplemental
precision technology that affects the operation of the sprayers,
from turning to steering to spraying for maximized
productivity.
- IntelliView™ 12 and Viper® 4+ displays
are intuitive and customizable, allowing operators to monitor their
machine's vital functions at a glance, including suspension
information, liquid management control, auto rinse functionality,
4-wheel steering, tread width adjustments, and more.
- IntelliField and Slingshot will visualize where other tractors
are moving in the field and provide data on the productivity of all
machines.
- IntelliSteer™ Auto Guidance maintain spray accuracy
while eliminating row skips and overpasses with direction control
and T3 terrain compensation.
