Publication number: 20260020522Abstract: An agricultural harvesting system includes one or more processors and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors. The instructions, when executed, configure the one or more processors to: determine a material transfer end location indicative of a geographic location at the worksite at which a material transfer operation between a harvester and material receiving machine is to end based, at least, on the data; determine a material transfer start location indicative of a geographic location at the worksite at which the material transfer operation between the harvester and the material receiving machine is to start based, at least, on the material transfer end location; and control at least one of the of the harvester and the material receiving machine based on at least one of the material transfer end location and the material transfer start location.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2025Publication date: January 22, 2026Inventors: Nathan R Vandike, Bhanu Kiran Reddy Palla, Federico Pardina-Malbran, Nathan Greuel, Andrew Wesley Keenan

Patent number: 12457929Abstract: An agricultural harvesting system obtains a yield map that maps yield values to different geographic locations in a worksite and a speed map that maps agricultural harvester speed values to different geographic locations in the worksite. The agricultural harvesting system identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to a threshold level, based on the yield map; identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which a material transfer operation is to start based on the geographic location at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to the threshold level; and identifies a time at which the agricultural harvester will arrive at the material transfer location, based on the speed map. The agricultural harvesting system can control one or more of the agricultural harvester and a receiving machine.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2023Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Nathan R. Vandike, Bhanu Kiran Reddy Palla, Federico Pardina-Malbran, Nathan Greuel, Andrew Wesley Keenan

Patent number: 12193350Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Nathan R. Vandike, Bhanu Kiran Reddy Palla, Nathan Greuel
