Abstract: A planning portal for a farmer to planning and to initiate an agricultural operation of an autonomous agricultural work machine on an agricultural field. The planning portal is configured in such a way that, during planning, only the use is permitted of attachments which may have dimensions such that the attachments are arranged or positioned completely within the detectable surrounding area during the state in which the attachments are coupled to the autonomous agricultural work machine.

Abstract: A route planning system configured to create the route plan for an autonomous agricultural work machine and/or for a network of autonomous agricultural work machines. A given agricultural work machine may be operated in a semi-autonomous operating mode, in which a user is on board or resident in the agricultural work machine, or a fully autonomous operating mode, in which no user is assigned to the agricultural work machine. The generated route plan may be dynamically adapted depending on one or more events, with the dynamically adapted route plan being transmitted to the autonomous agricultural work machine. The user or an operator assigned to the given autonomous agricultural work machine may accept the adapted route plan for the given agricultural work machine.

Abstract: A driver's cab for an agricultural work vehicle. The driver's cab has a driver's seat on which armrests are arranged on both sides, a windshield delimiting the front of the driver's cab and extending substantially between the cab floor and cab roof of the driver's cab, and a steering unit replacement system. The steering unit replacement system comprises: steering elements at least integrated into the armrests positioned on both sides of the driver's seat, at least one footrest associated with the driver's seat at the front in an area close to the floor, at least one grab handle system arranged at the front, and at least one storage device accessible from the driver's seat by a driver in a sitting position.

Abstract: A cab for an agricultural work vehicle. The cab comprises a cab frame with a frame structure which has two A-pillars provided in the front region thereof and two B-pillars at a distance therefrom in the rear region, which are connected to one another at their ends by frame segments extending in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the cab. The A-pillars and B-pillars extend substantially vertically and accommodate a cab roof. The cab frame of the cab is designed as modular and comprises a lighting structure integrated into the frame structure with the cab having a control unit configured to control the lighting structure for at least partial illumination of one or more working areas and/or visible areas of the agricultural work vehicle.

Abstract: A method and device for automatic preparation of documentation for an agricultural production machine is disclosed. Work of the agricultural production machine is documented in the documentation, whereby a positioning system records a movement path of the agricultural production machine while the work is being performed. The movement path, including position data and a timestamp assigned to the particular position data, is generated. The movement path is analyzed using data analysis to derive a movement pattern of the agricultural production machine, with the type of work of the agricultural production machine being inferred from the movement pattern. The data analysis may comprise a machine learning method, with the machine learning method including a classification step, a clustering step and a regression step.
