  • Publication number: 20240065152
    Abstract: A method and system for the optimized determination of machine parameters of an agricultural production machine is disclosed. The agricultural production machine has a driver assistance system and a sensor assembly and performs an agricultural task in a local context. A determination routine the driver assistance system uses the strategy specifications as input parameters of the instruction for use to determine the optimized machine parameters optimized with respect to the strategy specifications as output parameters of the instruction for use, wherein the strategy is parameterized with initial strategy parameters at the beginning of the execution of the agricultural task. The driver assistance system uses strategy parameters as the initial strategy parameters that have already been optimized by at least one agricultural production machine in a similar local context.

  • Publication number: 20240065155
    Abstract: An agricultural production machine configured for determining optimized working parameters for the of the agricultural production machine is disclosed. The agricultural production machine has a driver assistance system and a sensor system and performs an agricultural task in a local context. The driver assistance system comprises a map control system that includes one or more maps to optimize work parameters of the process units of the agricultural production machine. A particular characteristic map describes a relationship between working parameters of the process unit and quality parameters using initial working points. When performing the agricultural task, the driver assistance system checks a local context to determine whether a context-related map is available and, if so, replace the basic map with the context-related map in order to determine optimized working parameters.

  • Patent number: 11343957
    Abstract: An agricultural work system for the optimization of operating parameters, with at least one agricultural work machine having a work unit for carrying out or supporting agricultural work. The agricultural work machine has a driver assistance system for detecting, processing and outputting data relating to an agricultural work order. The driver assistance system is configured to detect a plurality of operating parameters and to allow the operator to rank the detected operating parameters or operating parameter sets with a plurality of different detected operating parameters. Individual ranked operating parameters or sets of operating parameters or all of the ranked operating parameters or sets of operating parameters are retrievably filed in a data pool, and the operating parameters are submitted based on ranking to an algorithm for generating optimized operating parameters for adjustment of the agricultural work machine and/or of the at least one work unit.
