CNH Industrial adds new Automation and Autonomy Solutions to Ag Tech portfolio

New technology helps farmers reach next level productivity and
profitability
London, December 9, 2022
CNH Industrial debuted its latest automation and
autonomy solutions at its Tech Day in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
New Driverless Tillage and Driver Assist
Harvest
solutions from
Raven, and Baler Automation from
Case IH and New Holland, deliver
automation and autonomous equipment enhancements. They all help
solve farming’s biggest challenges: to increase productivity and to
do more with less resources, more sustainably. These latest
technology developments form part of our Ag Tech roadmap.
“The agriculture industry is faced with the
challenges of time, costs, constrained operational windows, and a
dwindling labor force. Autonomy will become an integral part of
farmers’ operations everywhere,” said Derek Neilson,
President, Agriculture. “We believe that Autonomy and
Automation technologies are fundamental to the future of farming.
They cover all farmer segments and drive real world benefits.”
Driver Assist Harvest Solution
This new automation technology for the tractor platform leverages
our Case IH brand’s harvest technology with
Raven Autonomy integration. It provides a
coordinated control feature that allows for the Driver Assist
Harvest Solution to chart the path and speed of the tractor pulling
the grain cart alongside a combine harvester during an ‘unload on
the go’ operation.
The Driver Assist Harvest Solutions keeps the
tractor perfectly in sync with the combine harvester when unloading
grain – giving the combine operator seamless control over the
unloading process. This makes the full operation more efficient,
with less grain spillage in the process. Our new technology helps
remedy the lack of skilled labor by simplifying the task. It also
provides a better user experience with less operator fatigue. This
solution will be made commercially available for both Case
IH and New Holland brands.
Driverless Tillage SolutionThe
driverless tillage solution features an advanced Perception System
and Remote Command & Control experience from Raven Autonomy,
which functions with no operator in the cab. The machine can be
operated remotely from a mobile tablet device. The operator can
plan and execute precise, automated missions with consistent
agronomic results monitored from anywhere.
This development combines the Case
IH tractor and tillage platform with Raven autonomy to
deliver this autonomous tillage solution. The Raven
Autonomy technology platform provides a flexible, scalable
tech stack to the iron. This solution also leverages existing
Case IH tillage automation for ultimate agronomic
and machine control of the implement. The result is increased
productivity with consistent agronomic performance and richer data
insights.
Case IH and New Holland’s significant automation
developments are continuing to accelerate with the ongoing
integration of Raven.
Baling
AutomationIndustry-first Baler Automation was also
unveiled on New Holland large square balers, featuring new
technology that uses a LiDAR sensor to that scan the windrow in
front of the tractor for density, volume and direction. The tractor
and baler then use this input to automatically control steering,
forward speed and baler settings to ensure the baler follows the
windrow precisely for accurate crop feeding. The result? Optimized
bale shape, increased productivity, operator comfort and reduced
fuel consumption. Case IH will also offer the baling automation
feature.
Automation and Autonomy technology
milestones in the fieldWe have a proven track record of
existing world class technologies on our agriculture equipment.
Earlier this year at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, USA,
Case IH and Raven introduced the agriculture industry’s first
autonomous spreader, the Case IH Trident™ 5550 applicator
with Raven Autonomy™ (Driverless Spreading Solution).
Meanwhile both New Holland and Case IH combines offer
award-winning, best-in-class combine
automation, and both Case IH Patriot and
New Holland Guardian sprayers that come equipped with application
control automation.
“We’re on the road to full autonomy. We focus on
delivering an autonomous tech stack that scales across all
production cycles for the cash crop segment: crop preparation,
planting/seeding, crop care, harvest, hay, and forage. Focusing on
automation and autonomy is not taking farmers out of farming it’s
making their machines more productive with functional automation,”
said Parag Garg, CNH Industrial Chief Digital Product
Officer. “Our focus is to make the Precision Technology on
our equipment so smart, that the customer can focus on the farm and
let CNH Industrial take care of rest.”
