  • Publication number: 20150354961
    Abstract: A method for planning an agricultural post-processing operation along a post-processing route includes carrying out an agricultural pre-processing operation by a pre-processing machine along a pre-processing route, using a recording system to record the pre-processing route, determining the post-processing route to be worked by a post-processing machine on the basis of the recorded pre-processing route. The recording system records a processing setting of the pre-processing operation and the planning device determines the post-processing route on the basis of the processing setting.

  • Patent number: 8924097
    Abstract: Plant material for ensilage is harvested using at least one harvesting vehicle in the field, is hauled to a silo and is compressed using a compression device. The compression output of the compression device is compared to the harvesting output of the at least one harvesting vehicle, and a command to increase the harvesting output or to decrease the harvesting output of the harvesting vehicle (1) to a non-vanishing value is generated when the harvesting output deviates significantly from the compression output.

  • Publication number: 20080005177
    Abstract: In a method for data configuration and provision, and a device for implementing the method for objects, particularly agricultural working machines, an individualized data record for the particular object is assigned to the object in a higher-order data configurator. It is thereby ensured that efficient, machine-specific data provision is made possible. This has the advantage, in particular, that the information assigned to an object is now available in a process-independent manner, is not restricted to a specific application, and can be used to provide service concepts in a customer-oriented manner.
