New Holland is bringing artificial intelligence to the forage harvester with technology designed to keep the machine dialed in as conditions change. The new FR920 Forage Harvester, with 911 horsepower, uses ForageCam and AI-driven technology to continuously monitor crop and machine conditions and automatically make adjustments to help maintain performance. The goal is simple: take some of the guesswork out of harvesting and keep the machine operating at the right settings for the crop, helping improve consistency, efficiency and overall harvesting performance.
Patrick Weitzel, New Holland Product Manager for North America, shares how the system works and what it means for farmers and custom operators. Rather than relying on the operator to constantly make adjustments, as crop conditions change, the technology is designed to help the FR920 make those decisions in real time. It’s another example of how AI is moving from a buzzword to a practical tool in the field, helping operators keep a powerful machine dialed in at all times.
EDITOR’S TAKE:
This story illustrates how AI is rapidly becoming a reality in agriculture. The ability to adjust machinery to changing crop conditions is but a small step in the evolution of this new technology. AI is destined to help farmers/ranchers sort through all types of data and improve decision-making in every aspect of their operation in the future. It can help optimize everything from marketing, financial, taxes, crop and livestock selection and much more as it becomes even more integrated into the everyday life on the farm/ranch.
Speaking of AI, how are you using it to help analyze your customer prospects and customize your marketing approach to make it much more personal and directed to their situation? Perhaps you can start by using AgTruckTrader.com® which can help you identify customers most likely to purchase!
