  • Publication number: 20230189783
    Abstract: An agricultural system can include a boom assembly supporting one or more nozzle assemblies there along. A boom adjustment system can be operably coupled with the boom assembly. A sensing system can be configured to capture data indicative of one or more application variables. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the boom adjustment system and the sensing system. The computing system can be configured to receive, from the sensing system, the data associated with the one or more application variables, calculate a spray quality index based on the data associated with the one or more application variables, and generate an output to change a position of the boom assembly through the boom adjustment system based at least in part on the calculated spray quality index deviating from a defined range.

  • Publication number: 20230189785
    Abstract: A method for an agricultural application operation is provided herein. The method includes receiving a target application condition for an agricultural product to be exhausted from a nozzle assembly through an input device. The method also includes receiving an agricultural product flow condition and data related to boom movement from a sensing system. In addition, the method includes receiving a first duty cycle from a computing system. The method further includes determining a detected application condition based on the agricultural product flow condition, the data related to boom movement, and the first duty cycle with the computing system. Lastly, the method includes generating a duty cycle command based on a comparison of the target application condition to the detected application condition with the computing system.

  • Publication number: 20230189786
    Abstract: An agricultural system can include a product application system including one or more nozzle assemblies. A sensing system can include at least one flow sensor operably coupled with the product application system and configured to capture data indicative of a flow condition within the product application system. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the product application system and the sensing system. The computing system can be configured to calculate a spray quality index based on data from the sensing system, detect a pressure drop within the product application system based on the data indicative of a flow condition within the product application system, and generate an output based on the spray quality index and/or the detection of one or more pressure drops in the product application system.

  • Publication number: 20230191436
    Abstract: An agricultural system can include a first nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly and configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. An airflow detection system can be configured to capture data indicative of one or more airflow sources. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the first nozzle assembly and the airflow detection system. The computing system can be configured to receive, from the airflow detection system, the data associated with the one or more airflow sources and generate a first nozzle vector for the first nozzle assembly based at least in part on the data from the airflow detection system.

  • Publication number: 20220375017
    Abstract: A system for connecting technological infrastructure of educational institutions with an external web-based marketplace platform, the system comprising an infrastructure coupler that integrates data between institutional information systems and a marketplace system. The infrastructure coupler retrieves course data from the institutional information systems and provides the marketplace system with access to the retrieved course data. The marketplace platform uses the infrastructure coupler to access the course data associated with the learning courses, generate offerings for the learning courses based on the course data, and process enrollments and payments to the learning courses.

  • Publication number: 20220279704
    Abstract: A system for measuring real-time seed placement of seeds, such as corn seeds, during planting is provided. In certain embodiments, the sensing and measurement (SAM) system comprises various elements selected from the group consisting of a high-speed camera, light-section sensor, potentiometer, GPS unit, data acquisition system, and a control computer. The SAM system measures seeding depth, seed spacing, and geo-location of the seed. It is mounted on a planter row unit located in between the closing wheels and the gauge wheels with the camera and light section sensor directly facing the furrow.
