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.

Abstract: A system for measuring real-time seed placement of seeds, such as corn seeds, during planting wherein 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.

Abstract: An agricultural system can include a product application system including one or more nozzle assemblies. A sensing system can be configured to capture data indicative of a condition of a spray operation. An input device can be configured to receive a first command to alter an application parameter for an agricultural product to be exhausted from a nozzle assembly. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the product application system, the sensing system, and the input device. The computing system can be configured to receive the first command to alter the parameter, alter a first component based on the first command, determine whether the condition of the spray operation deviates from a defined condition range in response to altering the first component, and generate a second command to alter a second component based on the first command.

Abstract: An agricultural system includes a nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly that is configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. An airflow detection system is configured to capture data indicative of one or more airflow sources. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the nozzle assembly and the airflow detection system. The computing system is configured to receive the data associated with the one or more airflow sources from the airflow detection system, generate a nozzle assembly vector for the nozzle assembly based at least in part on the data from the airflow detection system, and determine a droplet size for exhausting an agricultural product from the nozzle assembly based at least in part on the magnitude of the nozzle assembly vector relative to a defined range and the direction relative to a default axis.

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.
