R-CONNECT MONITOR is the intelligent, fully automated image documentation during the sugar beet harvest. During harvest and when emptying the bunker, pictures with their assigned location are taken automatically. The Tiger 6S is equipped with several digital cameras for this. The images from the optional camera on the cabin roof for monitoring sugar beet crops before harvest and the camera images on the unloading conveyor for quality control of the harvest during bunker emptying are assigned to the harvest order on the R-Connect Portal.
TIGER 6S with networked digital cameras
Digital cameras are being installed into the ROPA Tiger 6S instead of analog cameras for the first time.
The Tiger 6S has several digital cameras. The images from the camera on the cabin roof for monitoring sugar beet crops before harvest and the images from the camera on the discharge conveyor for quality control of the harvest during bunker emptying are assigned to the order and are then available in the R-Connect Portal.
Access all the time, from anywhere. Whether on the machine, in the office, from home or on the road - with the R-Connect Portal, you have access all the time from anywhere to the harvest orders with images from the machine.
R-Connect Monitor for image documentation
The areas harvested, the yield (number of times the bunker was filled), and the position of the beet clamp can be documented from the sugar beet harvester. With this Agritechnica innovation, the sugar beet fields can be documented before harvesting and the crop yield documented visually.
- Images taken with assigned recording location.
- Documentation of the machine settings for the image.
- During harvest and when emptying the bunker, pictures are taken automatically and assigned to the harvest order in the R-Connect Portal.
Innovations at Agritechnica 2019
- Images of the sugar beet crop before harvesting combined with the machine settings and position data
- Monitoring of harvesting for weeds
- Monitoring of the sugar beet crop for diseases such as rhizoctonia, cercospora, and nematodes
- Optional additional manual image documentation if irregularities make harvest more difficult, e.g. water in the field, foreign bodies, utility poles, overseeding, etc.
- Images during the discharge process for quality control and documentation of the crop
- Documentation of impurities on the ground and weeds in the beet clamp are valuable information for transport logistics with regard to time, suitability of the sugar beets for storage, etc.
- If necessary, contractors and harvesting coops can use the images to argue increased work (harvesting costs) with the contracting farmers
- Much sensor data about speeds, pressures, volume measurements, etc. have much greater validity thanks to the additional display of images for the measurement values!
