gold medal
System Tractor NeXaT
Manufacturer: NeXaT GmbH
Hall / stand: 13 / A25
The NeXaT is a load-carrying vehicle that can carry out all work in crop production - from tillage, seeding and fertilization to harvesting. The implements and machines for tillage and sowing are not trailed, as usual, but mounted. This increases the efficiency in comparison with coupling units. The systemic features are such that, in the 12m version in the target bed mode, 95% of the area is never moved, which contributes to higher yields with good soil and environmental protection.
The NeXaT system tractor is designed as a stand-alone machine and equipped with an environmental monitoring system. The processes are controlled from a 270 ° rotating cabin. This creates the basis for fully automated operation of the machine and allows manual control of the vehicle during transport. The implements are positioned between four large track blocks that can be rotated 90 ° for road travel. The NeXaT is powered by two independent, generator-powered 400 kW / 545 hp diesel engines. each. The tractor can be retrofitted for use with alternative drive technologies such as fuel cells.
When working with a NexCo combine module, the NeXaT system tractor achieves for the first time a capacity of 130 to 200 t / h of grain. The new concept of double axial flow uses an axial rotor with a length of 5,8 m, located transversely to the direction of travel. The crop heap is fed into the rotor tangentially towards the center and with low energy consumption. The rotor divides the heap into two streams. This allows the threshing capacity to be approximately doubled compared to conventional machines and creates the preconditions for an even distribution of straw and chaff with two choppers, even with a working width of 14 m.
The grain tank has a capacity of 32 m3, so there is no need to use reloading trailers for normal field lengths. Overloading of grain can take place on the headland; at a discharge rate of 600 l / s, this process takes only about a minute. This brings the NeXaT-NexCo combination to a whole new level of threshing performance. In this case, the carrier vehicle can be used all year round. The concept represents a paradigm shift in agriculture and deserves a positive assessment for resource conservation and the environment.

Krone ExactUnload / Intelligent automatic unloading system for weight distribution along the length of the path (GX)
Manufacturer: Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG
Hall / stand: 27 / E15
Transport work on long harvesting days is tedious and requires constant attention, whether loading in the field, transporting on the road or unloading on the farm. It is especially difficult for the driver to reach as large an area as possible when unloading the forage crop into the silo. This is important for fast distribution and optimal compaction of the crop in order to achieve the best silage result.
In the Krone ExactUnload, the unloading of the new GX rearward facing conveyor trailer is adjusted so that the conveyed mass is evenly distributed over the entire predetermined length. In this case, it does not matter at what speed the unit moves in a given speed interval (up to 3,5 km / h). Even inexperienced drivers are able to achieve good distribution and compaction of the mass, which reduces redistribution and compaction work. This contributes to uniform compaction and high silage quality. In addition, fuel and time are saved, the silage is less agitated due to slipping of the spreading machines and the power is freed up for the necessary compaction.
The Krone ExactUnload unloading system is a major improvement, which not only provides the operator with optimal comfort and ease of work, but also helps to reduce the driver's workload on long harvesting days to avoid operating errors and thus accidents.
Agro Conti Seal
Manufacturer: Continental AG
Hall / stand: 20 / A52
Tire problems always occur at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and so do agricultural machinery. However, in agriculture, the damage caused by a flat tire is significantly higher than in other industries, and punctures and cuts by foreign objects are more common here. Changing tires in the field causes significant delays in production due to the size and weight of the machines and tires, as well as the loss of time and productivity during tight field work. This goes beyond the cost of changing tires, not to mention the potential dangers associated with changing handling in the event of damage.
The viscous polymer inside agricultural tires seals and eliminates air leakage if the tread is pierced by foreign objects such as nails or other sharp objects. Despite the damage, you can keep driving and have the tire repaired or replaced later. This can be of particular importance during very tight time windows during which agricultural work is often required. In this way, tire changes in difficult off-road conditions or on the road can be largely avoided and can be done later in the workshop. The availability of vehicles is increased, which is especially important for specialized harvesting machines.
The new Agro ContiSeal from Continental represents a significant development in the field of agricultural tires, which in decisive situations makes a great contribution to the reliability and safety of the machine.
Terranimo / Soil Compaction Risk Indicator Terminal
Manufacturer: Claas KgaA mbH
Hall / Booth: F / P32
With the use of powerful agricultural machinery, the risk of soil compaction increases. Moreover, due to a significant increase in the size and weight of machines in recent decades, soil compaction has increased in depth, where it cannot be eliminated by conventional tillage.
The new system from Claas shows the driver, right on the terminal in the cab, how much the risk of compaction is under current operating conditions. For the calculation, Claas sends the available parameters, such as soil type and condition, axle load and tire pressure, via the CEMOS driver assistant system, to Terranimo - a tool for modeling soil load and bearing capacity recognized throughout Europe. Dynamic offsets of axle loads are also taken into account. Red colored pressure distribution zones on the scoreboard indicate a high risk of overconsolidation. The driver can then interrupt the planned work or take appropriate measures (for example, changing the ballasting or tire pressure) and check their effectiveness immediately.
Thanks to the preventive driver support, the Claas Terranimo Soil Compaction Risk Indicator Terminal allows you to avoid dangerous overconsolidation and the associated negative consequences for soil health and economic efficiency.
Automatic dust extractor
Manufacturer: AGCO GmbH - Fendt
Hall / stand: 20 / A14
Agricultural machines and tractors are exposed to extremely dusty environments, therefore cleaning the combustion air in an engine requires robust and powerful filtration systems that combine a high degree of separation and a long service life. When working in the dry phase, namely during harvesting, there is a particularly strong dusting. Intermediate cleaning of the air filter ensures that there is no degradation in performance or an increase in fuel consumption due to insufficient intake of combustion air into the engine.
In its automatic dust extractor, Fendt has presented for the first time a system that detects the degree of contamination of the air filter during operation or while driving and cleans it fully automatically without removing it. With two short but powerful pressure pulses inside the air filter, air flow to the outside is achieved. Dust deposited on the surface of the filter dissolves and at the same time is sucked out of the housing under the action of a vacuum. The vacuum is generated by a hydrostatically driven cooling fan, which rises briefly. The pressure pulse comes from a separate compressed air cylinder filled with a compressor at 12 bar. The automatic cleaning intervals are started as soon as the negative pressure in the intake system falls below the limit value due to increasing contamination. The system works in all operating conditions, even at full load.
The automatic dust extractor makes the time consuming, error prone and often overlooked manual air filter cleaning unnecessary. In this way, tractor downtime and the risk of increased fuel consumption due to dirty air filters can be minimized.
Muthing CoverSeeder
- seeder of cover crops
Manufacturer: Müthing GmbH & Co. KG Soest
Hall / stand: 11 / B33
Sowing of catch crops after harvest has so far been either relatively imprecise - in the case of solid sowing - and incorporation was often lacking, or - in the case of drill or direct sowing - this was a relatively labor-intensive process, since seedbed preparation could be required or, in the case of direct sowing, good straw handling and post-harvest processing in a separate work step.
The Müthing CoverSeeder combines for the first time in an improved form the already known components into a new cover crop sowing system that combines all stages into one: for even and uniform growth, the modified crop residues are combined with a special grain distribution. In particular, the front-mounted following harrow provides fine-grained soil and improves straw distribution. The next flail mulcher crushes straw and stubble and cleans the seed horizon of crop residues due to the high suction power of the chain rotor. All the resulting mixture is transported along a sowing bar installed next to it, which deposits the grain on the bare horizon. Then the seeds, placed on the cleaned soil surface, are covered with treated organic material.
Once the seeds have been spread and covered, the following prismatic roller provides the necessary contact with the soil for good germination. The roller also adjusts the height of the CoverSeeder. Avoiding intensive tillage combined with a flat biomass casing layer protects the soil from evaporation and erosion and provides the moisture necessary for germination, even in severe drought conditions.
The Müthing CoverSeeder is a new versatile system that combines seeding and residue management. Thus, the innovative device represents a new step for future-oriented and resource-efficient agriculture: catch crops reduce energy consumption and the required working time, as well as reduce costs. Field hygiene is also optimally taken into account by the subsequent grinding of all above-ground material. Since the soil is not cultivated except for the tines of the harrow, the natural structure of the soil is preserved, which allows work to be carried out earlier, even after rain. At the same time, soil life is preserved and CO2 emissions, as well as evaporation and erosion, are reduced.
Terra Service
-calculation of the passability of fields
Manufacturer: RAUCH Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH
Hall / stand: 09 / B16
-Co-development with AgriCircle AG
Each time they cross a field, agricultural machines apply pressure to the ground, transferring the weight of the machine's mass to the ground through the contact surface of the tires. With efficiency gains in agriculture, agricultural machines have become significantly more powerful over the past few decades, but in general they have become heavier. Thus, the compaction of the soil caused by the weight of the machine also increases. The effects of soil compaction have a particularly negative effect when working in unfavorable weather conditions at the limit of permeability.
Thanks to Rauch TerraService, a joint development with AgriCircle AG, the grower has a digital service at his disposal, with which he can calculate in advance the patency of agricultural land. The user must enter the necessary machine data for this or call up already saved data. Soil moisture is estimated in a small raster using radar measurements from Sentinel1 satellites in combination with weather data. With this machine and soil moisture data, supplemented by soil structure information, the permeability of agricultural land is conveniently calculated in advance from a handheld device and displayed on a 10m grid for specific areas. The user may receive a warning or message if the site is impassable or can only be used to a limited extent. In addition, the field sequencing, large field entry position and lane sequencing can also be optimized or refined to prevent slipping. In this way, the good functioning of the soil is maintained. If it is not possible to drive through it, there is no need for complex and time-consuming preparatory work and a trip to farmland.
With TerraService, Rauch and AgriCircle have significantly improved existing simulations to assess flotation and compaction risk using satellite radar measurements to determine soil moisture. This service is varied and can be used for a variety of agricultural work processes such as fertilization, slurry application and crop protection, and helps growers maintain good soil condition, good soil structure and therefore high yields.
DirectInject direct injection
- fast, flexible and appropriate additional dosage of plant protection products
Manufacturer: AMAZONEN-WERKE H. Dreyer SE & Co. KG
Hall / stand: 09 / D27
Direct injection systems as typical modernization solutions have not yet been widely used in practice due to various disadvantages. The reason often lies in the front container, which delivers the concentrated pesticide over long distances at the center point of the sprayer fluid circuit. As a result, the new mixture has to travel long lines before it reaches the nozzles. As a result, practice-controlled, ISOBUS-controlled sectional spraying becomes almost impossible. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the high variability of various plant protection products, ranging from liquids to granulates.
A flexible choice of crop protection products in the field and the use of active ingredients in individual areas in accordance with crop production needs - these are the growing requirements for agricultural producers and technology in modern crop protection. The DirectInject sprayer solves the conflict between increasing the flexibility of plant protection applications and the cost-effective growth of field sprayers. Flexible addition of both liquid and granular chemicals to the proposed system allows you to quickly respond to a specific situation in the field. Another plus is the reduced number of field passes, which saves fuel and labor. Unused plant protection products are sent in their original containers, so there is no need to know the general need for this product before application and there is no need to worry about disposal of residues. Full integration into the liquid circuit and sprayer control via ISOBUS ensure ease of operation, just like the automatic sprayer cleaning with the Comfort-Paket Plus. It can be conveniently connected directly from the tractor cab and carried out directly in the field. If application maps are available, the required reaction time is eliminated and spot spraying can be carried out without problems and with high precision in the field.
In this way, DirectInject lays the foundation for even more precise crop protection with a minimum waste of resources. This saves the environment and reduces costs.
photoheyler
-photo cultivator for weeding beets
Manufacturer: design office Heinrich (Planungsbüro Heinrich)
Hall / Booth: 09 / C05
It is in organic farming that mechanical weed control in rows is a necessary means to give crops a growth advantage over competing weeds and thus ensure a healthy plant population and therefore yield. The technology used so far shows a very low area yield.
Thanks to the innovative rotor concept of the Photoheyler cultivator, a productivity of over 1 hectare per hour can be achieved. The Photoheyler row guidance system reliably detects crop rows using cameras. The gauge wheels of the machine are controlled by hydraulic cylinders and synchronously with the wheels of the tractor, that is, they follow them. This allows the cultivator to be guided through the rows with maximum precision, while the old problems of simultaneous machine and tractor control are solved with the Photoheyler system. In other solutions with an extendable frame, the driver must take care of both the tractor control and the rear camera controls. This increases the number of errors, especially when driving into the next lane, when loosening in the headland, on wedges or tight bends. Thanks to the rigid coupling of the cultivator and the tractor, the driver always controls the work and there is no need for long manual adjustment of the cultivator using the joystick. By steering the tractor wheels, the Photoheyler keeps the implement on course, even on a side slope. Crop plants are not covered with soil because the rotors are tilted, which compensates for the speed of movement. As a result, the rotor always cuts at an exact 90 ° angle to the crop, resulting in weeds being cut from the row of plants and deposited between the rows. There they are again separated from the root with the help of the tools set by the trail and covered with earth. For effective weed control, weeding must be carried out several times until the leaves of cultivated plants close the aisles. With a variety of implement systems, it is possible to weed close to the sugar beet row from the two-leaf stage to the closed row spacing.
Sowing / planting requirements require either a spot sowing system or planting technology with precise triangular distribution across the full width of the machine. For sugar beets, it is recommended to use a Kverneland Unicorn with Geoseed 1 or an identical machine. The general concept will also allow spot spraying to be used in the future. In this case, the application is carried out very precisely and plant protection products are saved.
DL 66 Pro
-sprinkler
Manufacturer: Fasterholt Maskinfabrik A / S
Hall / stand: 25 / B23
Sprinkler DL 66 Pro from Fasterholt is a combination of a new type of self-propelled mobile sprinkler and a mounted nozzle trolley, which consists of a new type of telescopic and hydraulically folding 66-meter aluminum booms. The advantages of both common technologies (self-propelled machines and nozzle trolleys) are combined here in one machine.
The general advantages of nozzle trolleys over large sprinklers (guns), which have always been powered by a mobile sprinkler with a sprinkler fence, are, on the one hand, resource-saving irrigation carried out at low pressure (approx. 1-2 bar, in depending on the nozzle used) and working close to the ground, on the other hand, in accurately defining the boundaries of the working area. The low pressure compared to the cannon saves energy, while the droplet spectrum has a lower proportion of small droplets, which minimizes evaporation. Since the lateral distribution does not require throwing range, the working height can be low and the wind sensitivity compared to the cannon can be significantly minimized. The disadvantages are a significantly higher tensile force with an increase in the length of the pipe, which must be compensated for by thicker walls, which limits the maximum length of the irrigation strip to about 500-600 m.In addition, it is impossible to move around the beds, therefore these machines have to be moved relatively often - a considerable amount of work with the previous folding of the booms, which usually cannot be done by one person. The advantages of a mobile machine-fed (self-propelled) irrigation machine are the longer possible pipe length (up to about 1000 m), since the machine lifts the coiled pipe off the ground and rolls it instead of pulling it full length above the ground. In addition, if the pipe has been properly laid, it is possible to drive around the entire field in ridges, so no rearrangement is required. The disadvantage of this system is the relatively high weight, especially when almost the entire pipe is wound at the end of the irrigation process. The DL 66 Pro booms are divided into 10 6 m segments, each with its own water supply. Thus, in the future - when the currently missing section control is released - a kind of "Section Control" will be provided for irrigation, in which individual field wedges can be irrigated, largely avoiding overlap and irrigation of non-target areas.
The economic significance for practice is already obvious. Watering up to 8 hectares with one machine setup without time-consuming rearrangement allows you to increase productivity and quality of work. Thanks to the hydraulic telescoping and folding operation, the actual movement is now possible alone, saving time and increasing work safety. In addition, the energy and water saving system of work has a positive effect on the environmental and energy situation.
OptiSpread Automation System
- Distribution system of chopped crop residues behind the combine
Manufacturer: CNH Industrial Deutschland GmbH NEW HOLLAND
Hall / stand: 03 / B48
An even lateral distribution of chopped crop residues from combine harvesters is a basic requirement for precision farming, especially with minimal tillage. The power control systems of the known spreaders on large-width combines are either manually adjusted or the possible distribution of the crushed material is measured indirectly. When manually adjusted, dust often interferes with the line of sight from the rearview mirror or camera to the crop residue distribution pattern. In addition, the driver needs to switch the distribution equipment at every turn. Otherwise, there may be doubling of the amount of straw or partly of the area without straw cover, as well as problems with the flow of the crop during the next passage of the combine.
This is why NEW HOLLAND, in the form of OptiSpread Automation, has developed the first crop residue distribution system with direct measurement technology. Two-dimensional radar sensors attached to both sides of the combine measure the speed and range of the shredded material. The sensors record the entire throw range and therefore the distribution pattern. If the distribution pattern no longer matches the nominal distribution pattern over the entire working width, the speed of the hydraulically driven blower increases or decreases respectively on both sides until the distribution pattern again matches the nominal. The technology detects the uneven distribution of the crushed material even with a tail or head wind, and also allows you to create a distribution map.
OptiSpread is a component of precision farming success that, as an automation step, makes the combine operator's job easier.
CEMOS AUTO HEADER
—auger headers adjustment system
Manufacturer: Claas KgaA mbH
Hall / Booth: F / P32
Auger headers on combine harvesters with variable table lengths are often misused. On the one hand, the position of the reel is not adapted to the density of the crop, and on the other hand, the crop flow is uneven because the length of the header table is not adjusted to the length of the crop. Often, workers even forget to set the appropriate cutting table length after transporting the header. The result is excessive feed losses and reduced threshing performance due to uneven crop flow. In addition, the setting controllers cannot purposefully optimize the machine settings if there is already a setting error at the cutting stage.
This is why CLAAS has developed the first CEMOS AUTO HEADER for auger headers. The laser scanner continuously records the height of the plants. Once the operator has specified the target reel immersion depth in the stem and the predetermined horizontal position, they are automatically adjusted in the event of a change in plant height. The system recognizes tramlines as well as the end of the field and directs any tufts that might fall off the header onto the feed auger. The length of the cutting table is set depending on the vibration of the layer thickness sensor for the throughput regulator in the feed channel. The more uniform the crop flow, the lower the vibration of the sensor.
The tuning adjustment system reduces the load on the operator and creates conditions for maximizing productivity thanks to automatic adjustments. Thus, it is another step towards the automation of harvesting of threshed crops.
Big Baler Automation
Manufacturer: CNH Industrial Deutschland GmbH NEW HOLLAND
Hall / stand: 03 / B48
A high concentration of concentration is required from the driver when working on the baler. He must constantly monitor the swath in front to, on the one hand, collect the entire crop and fill the bale chamber evenly, and, on the other hand, prevent malfunctions or even blockages. To achieve a uniform density and bale weight, the settings of the baler must also be constantly adapted to changing conditions.
CNH Industrial New Holland's Big Baler Automation is the first system in which the operator can directly set the desired bale weight on the baler, and then the system automatically takes over control of the machine, calculating the steps forward, and regulating the tractor speed and baler settings. This is a decisive development towards fully automated square baler operation. The LiDAR (Light Detection and Range) sensor is used to optically measure the swath in front of the tractor, while the IMU sensor detects the acceleration and orientation of the tractor. For even greater accuracy, information from the tractor's GPS sensor is processed. The tractor moves fully automatically over the swath and the speed is automatically adjusted according to the swathing conditions. Based on the recorded data, the bale weight is constantly calculated in advance in order to thus adjust the setting of the baling pressure and, via the travel speed, the layer thickness for the individual piston passes. As a result, even when harvesting conditions and yields change, the baler is always loaded with high capacities and the same preset bale weight is always achieved.
CNH Industrial New Holland's Big Baler Automation reduces the burden on the driver on long harvest days and helps to achieve high performance baling performance, even on dusty days and in the dark. The uniform bale weight makes it easier to plan downstream logistics. Although many individual aspects of the system were already known or even awarded, Big Baler Automation stands out as a complete solution with great practical benefits.
RoboVeg Robotti
- autonomous robot for selective harvesting of broccoli
Manufacturer: Agro Intelligence ApS
Hall / stand: 13 / A11
-Co-development with RoboVeg Ltd.
One of the biggest challenges in intensive vegetable production is the availability of a labor force. When growing broccoli, harvesting takes about half of all labor costs.
The RoboVeg Robotti system combines the high-performance field robot from Agro Intelligence ApS and the broccoli harvesting robot from RoboVeg Ltd. The Robotti field robot operates on two motors with a total power of 104 kW. Of these, 40 kW can be used on the PTO shaft. The lifting mechanism has a lifting force of 750 kg. RoboVeg is equipped with high definition 6D cameras and 3D sensors. Two robotic arms revolving around 2400 axes take over the autonomous harvest of broccoli. It takes the robotic arm about 300 seconds from picking broccoli in the field to stacking. The harvesting capacity is about 360 pieces per hour, while manual harvesting only reaches XNUMX-XNUMX pieces per hour per worker.
While autonomous robots for seeding, weeding and harrowing are already being offered and used, harvesting has so far seemed impossible to automate. RoboVeg Robotti is the first standalone broccoli harvesting system that delivers significant productivity gains. For the manufacturer, this means increased efficiency and lower costs.
RSM Ok ID
Manufacturer: ROSTSELMASH
Hall / stand: 09 / A25
The repetitive work in the field is tiring, while long working days are often the norm, especially during harvest. Falling asleep of the tractor or combine driver can have especially serious consequences. Even if it is only a few seconds, and in agriculture, the range of consequences of a second's sleep is enormous and ranges from damage to cars and breakdowns to human death.
Sleep warnings or attention assistants have long been known in the automotive sector. Rostselmash adopted this approach, transferred it to agriculture and significantly developed the system for use in agriculture. RSM Ok ID continuously and intelligently monitors the driver's condition and immediately notifies him with a loud beep if signs of fatigue or other changed conditions are detected and the car stops to avoid tragic consequences. The system also automatically generates a message to the Agrotronic farm management system. To detect drowsiness, the camera continuously monitors pupils, blinking and head position, as well as the driver's pulse. The system recognizes common signs of fatigue: rapid blinking, eyes directed downward or closed for more than three seconds, decreased heart rate, and yawning and rubbing of the eyes. Since the RSM Ok ID system is connected to the ISOBUS of the machine, it can actively stop it. This can prevent possible accidents.
RSM Ok ID Attention Assistant is an extra help to keep you safe during long work assignments.
Compaction Prevention System (CPS)
- overconsolidation prevention system
Manufacturer: Agtech 2030
Hall / Booth: 13 / C72
The increase in soil compaction associated with increased efficiency and the accompanying increase in machine weight, as well as its long-term consequences, have long been known. The technical capabilities of constructive prevention (contact surface, tire pressure adjustment, caterpillar, etc.) are being used more and more widely. This development is to be welcomed, but not sufficient to effectively protect the soil. A lot of damage is caused by improper use of equipment or driving on arable land at the wrong time.
Thanks to the Compaction Prevention System (CPS) developed by Agtech 2030, the user (grower, contractor, dispatcher) has access to a service that shows the current compaction risk of the field and therefore the suitability for travel in advance and in the form of a map. The calculation in real time for a specific object helps both when planning work and, if necessary, bypassing dangerous areas. In particular, the field state parameter is included in the modeling, which encompasses important soil state variables such as tillage option, croplands and vegetation status.
The system offers users assistance in making decisions regarding soil compaction risk and helps them decide where and when to work in the fields and in what vehicle configuration. The grower can plan his work optimally and protect the soil as much as possible. Additional soil treatment measures to remove harmful compaction, as well as the resulting CO2 emissions, can be prevented. This saves time and money and ensures high yield potential.
SIS REMOTE
- remote control system for autonomous equipment
Manufacturer: Reichhardt GmbH Steuerungstechnik
Hall / Booth: 13 / C05
-Co-development with HBC-radiomatic / Vogt GmbH / MDB srl 26 / E13
The operational reliability and safety of vehicles is one of the main problems of autonomous operation of agricultural machinery. Therefore, the operation of autonomous cars is fraught with strict regulations, complex sensors and expensive technology.
SIS REMOTE is an integrated system for remote control of autonomous agricultural machinery. The scalable system, consisting of radio control and ISOBUS automation, meets all functional safety requirements and was first brought into series production on tracked landscaping equipment. Integration of a wireless smart farming terminal into a safe (redundant) radio control and combination with an automatic steering system based on GNSS-Navigation with an RTK correction signal, as well as full ISOBUS automation for automated processes and section control make the operation of semi-autonomous machines possible in terms of safety and operation, while simultaneously using ISOBUS automation and automatic lane control. Thus, safety for the driver and his environment is ensured, work processes are automated and refined, and the burden on the driver and on the environment is reduced. The system is a joint development of Reichardt Steuerungstechnik, HBC-radiomatic, Vogt and MDB. It can monitor and control multiple machines at the same time.
Innovative development makes an important contribution to the (partial) autonomy of machines and equipment carriers and thus increases usability and safety.
