Publication number: 20220201938Abstract: A method for assigning information to an identification tag on a bale includes receiving, compressing and shaping crop material into a plurality of formed bales. At least one sensor parameter for the formed bales is detected with at least one sensor. Each bale is wrapped with a binding material and an identification tag is attached to each of the formed bales. A bale ID is created for each of the formed bales. The identification tag on the bale for each bale is assigned to the bale ID. The operator selects to have either the sensor parameter for the tagged bale associated with the bale ID or have a semi-randomized code not containing the sensor parameter associated with the bale ID.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Kevin J. Hamilton, Emmanuel Regis Magisson, Daniel J. Soldan, Grant Lewis Good, Robert L. Figger, Shane A. Bollinger

Patent number: 10949732Abstract: A bale identification assembly includes binding material used by a knotter system to bind a formed bale, the binding material including identification tags at spaced intervals along the binding material. A read module transmits interrogator signals and also receives authentication replies from the identification tags. A position sensor is used to predict passage of identification tags through the knotter mechanism and a bale length sensor provides a signal representing bale length. A controller receives signals from the bale length sensor and the position sensor and generates a signal to alter the length of the bale by causing an additional flake to be added to the bale by the plunger or the bale to be finished with fewer flakes to prevent the knotter system from tying a knot in the binding material such that the identification tag is positioned in a portion of the binding material used to form the knot.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: AGCO CorporationInventors: Kevin J. Hamilton, Emmanuel Regis Magisson, Daniel Soldan, Grant Lewis Good, Robert L. Figger, Shane A. Bollinger

Publication number: 20200375116Abstract: A bale identification assembly includes binding material (52) used by a knotter system to bind a formed bale (14), the binding material (52) comprising identification tags (62) at spaced intervals along the binding material. A read module (66) transmits interrogator signals and also receives authentication replies from the identification tags. A position sensor is used to predict passage of identification tags (62) through the knotter mechanism and a bale length sensor provides a signal representing bale length. A controller receives signals from the bale length sensor and the position sensor and generates a signal to alter the length of the bale (14) by causing an additional flake to be added to the bale by the plunger (34) or the bale to be finished with fewer flakes to prevent the knotter system from tying a knot in the binding material such that the identification tag is positioned in a portion of the binding material used to form the knot.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2018Publication date: December 3, 2020Inventors: Kevin J.

Patent number: 10657433Abstract: A bale identification assembly has a binding material with identification tags at spaced intervals is used by a knotter system to bind a formed bale. A read module with an antenna transmits interrogator signals and also receives authentication replies from identification tags. The bale identification assembly has a bale drop sensor with a paddle. As a completed bale passes through the discharge chute, the completed bale interacts with the paddle causing the bale drop sensor to activate. Activation of the bale drop sensor activates the antenna for a specified active cycle, and during its active cycle, the read module assigns any identification tag that is sensed to the completed bale that is leaving the discharge chute. A controller receives information from at least one crop sensor and/or bale sensor and associates the information about the completed bale with the identification tag on the completed bale.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: AGCO CorporationInventors: Kevin J.

Publication number: 20200074262Abstract: A binding material for binding a bale (14) of crop material has bale (14) identification tags (62) used to identify properties of the bale (14) that is bound by the binding material. The binding material (52) includes at least one strand of a non-identifying filament and one strand of an identifying filament incorporating the identification tag (62). The non-identifying filament and the identifying filament are wound together before the binding material (52) is used to bind the bale. The identifying filament has an RFID inlay having conducting wires of an antenna connected to an RFID chip, with the length of the inlay between 10 and 24 cm. The RFID inlay comprises a segment of the identifying filament with adjacent RFID inlays spaced along the identifying filament at a desired interval. The identifying strand incorporating the RFID inlay is wound during a binding material production process with the at least one non-identifying filament into a single twine strand.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2018Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Kevin J.

Patent number: 10127491Abstract: A baler is provided with binding material having identification tags at spaced intervals. A formed bale is bound with the binding material using a knotter system on the baler to obtain a completed bale. The identification tag is identified with a read module and sensed parameters of the crop material or bale are associated with the identification tag on the completed bale. A number of identified bales are then joined into the aggregation of bales. The identification tag for each of the identified bales in the aggregate is associated to the aggregation of bales. A person then could read a single identification tag of one of the identified bale in the aggregate which would then populate a characteristic field in the software for each identified bale in the aggregate based off the single identification tag that was read.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: AGCO CorporationInventors: Kevin J.
