  • Patent number: 11965318
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for determining process data of a work process carried out by an implement based on the determination of a moved mass by a weighing system of the implement and the detection of a parameter concerning a state of the implement and/or a work step, wherein with reference to these and further data a prediction value concerning the remaining part of the current work process is determined and on the basis of which information on the assistance is indicated to the operator of the implement, and to an implement comprising such a system.

  • Publication number: 20210032848
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for an automatic movement of a working device that comprises a control and at least two components movable independently of one another by means of a respective one actuator controllable by the control. The control has a learning mode and a work through mode, wherein the working device is automatically traveled from a first position into a second position by a corresponding control of the actuators in the work through mode. In the learning mode, the control detects data relating to the individual movements of the components during a movement of the working device and stores them, with the control of the actuators taking place during the automatic movement on the basis of these data in the work through mode. A parameter of the automatic movement is settable by the operator. The application further relates to a working device carrying out of the method application.
