Our systems for surround sensing enhance the safety of your mobile agricultural machinery, support efficient working methods, and serve as the basis for autonomous agricultural machines. The combination of software and sensors enables sophisticated driver assistance systems.
For optimized work processes, different sensor technologies are used in agriculture. These support the track guidance of the machines, for instance, and allow the crop height to be measured for optimum adjustment of the working equipment. An obstacle detection system warns the machine operator of potential collisions. Be it ultrasonic, radar, or camera sensors: we are happy to advise you on the best and most cost-effective solution for your application. Benefit from our sensor system expertise and long-standing experience in everything from project implementation to series production.
Our core competence includes the application-specific use of sensors for your agricultural machinery.
At your request, we can also advise and support you in the following areas:
Used, for example, for driving along plant rows on vineyards. The high-resolution imaging radar delivers high information density and remains extremely precise even in difficult weather conditions or on challenging terrain.
Our surround sensor systems enhance the safety of your mobile agricultural machinery and form the basis for numerous automated work functions of machinery and implements. The combination of software and sensors allows us to generate higher-quality automation functions.
For partially and fully automated work processes, different sensor technologies are used in the agricultural sector. They optimize work processes and minimize collision potential by slowing down machines or bringing them to a standstill.
In close cooperation with the division for highly automated driving and the Group research department of Bosch, we provide you with the latest technologies along with in-depth software expertise for your automation applications based on radar, ultrasonic, and camera sensors. Let us work together to devise your automation strategy – including for highly complex projects.
