  • Patent number: 11635768
    Abstract: A control system includes a controller configured to determine a target speed between a first target position of a haul vehicle relative to a harvester and a second target position of the haul vehicle relative to the harvester based on a flow rate of agricultural product through a conveyor of the harvester. The haul vehicle is coupled to a storage compartment, an outlet of the conveyor is aligned with a first unloading point within the storage compartment while the haul vehicle is positioned at the first target position, and the outlet of the conveyor is aligned with a second unloading point within the storage compartment while the haul vehicle is positioned at the second target position. Furthermore, the controller is configured to output a control signal indicative of instructions to direct the haul vehicle from the first target position to the second target position at the target speed.

  • Patent number: 11399462
    Abstract: A control system for a work vehicle includes a controller configured to establish a first bounding shape within a storage compartment. The controller is also configured to establish a second bounding shape by mirroring the first bounding shape along a lateral centerline of the work vehicle. In addition, the controller is configured to automatically engage product flow from a conveyor outlet to the storage compartment in response to the storage compartment being positioned on a first lateral side of the work vehicle and the conveyor outlet being positioned within the first bounding shape, and to automatically engage product flow from the conveyor outlet to the storage compartment in response to the storage compartment being positioned on a second lateral side of the work vehicle and the conveyor outlet being positioned within the second bounding shape.

  • Publication number: 20210405644
    Abstract: A method for implementing end-of-row (EOR) turns within a field includes accessing a location of a work boundary outlining a work area of the field within which an agricultural machine is configured to perform an agricultural operation, and generating a boundary-based EOR turn path for the agricultural machine between an end point of a first path extending across the work area and a start point of a second path extending across the work area, with the boundary-based EOR turn path being defined relative to the work boundary such that the agricultural machine is maintained spaced apart from the boundary by at least a minimum buffer distance as the machine is traversed between the end point of the first path and the start point of the second path. In addition, the method includes automatically executing an EOR turn along the boundary-based EOR turn path and/or displaying the boundary-based EOR turn path.

  • Publication number: 20210329825
    Abstract: A control system for an agricultural system includes a memory configured to store a path and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to receive feedback indicative of a position of the agricultural system, select a selected swath from a plurality of swaths of the path based on the position, in which each swath of the plurality of swaths includes a respective trigger point, and determine that the position of the agricultural system is within a threshold range of the respective trigger point of the selected swath. The processing circuitry is also configured to output a signal to instruct a component of the agricultural system to perform an operation associated with the respective trigger point of the selected swath in response to determining that the position of the agricultural system is within the threshold range of the respective trigger point of the selected swath.

  • Patent number: 11154008
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for operating an agricultural harvester may include a sensor assembly configured to detect a parameter indicative of an operating line of the harvester. The system may also include a controller configured to monitor the operating line of the harvester based on measurement signals received from the sensor assembly when the harvester is operated in a first operating mode. The controller may also be configured to determine a differential between the operating line and a predetermined guidance line of the harvester. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to update a stored correction value based on the determined differential. Additionally, when the harvester is switched from the first operating mode to a second operating mode, the controller may be configured to adjust a location of the predetermined guidance line based on the stored correction value.

  • Patent number: 10966369
    Abstract: A control system for a work vehicle includes a controller configured to determine a position of a conveyor outlet relative to a storage compartment, and to select a target unloading area from a set of candidate target unloading areas. The set of candidate target unloading areas includes a target circle having a center at an unloading point and a radius corresponding to a threshold range from the unloading point, a bounding shape within the storage compartment, and a selected zone of a set of non-overlapping zones within the bounding shape. In addition, the controller is configured to engage product flow from the conveyor outlet to the storage compartment while the position of the conveyor outlet is within the target unloading area, and to terminate product flow from the conveyor outlet to the storage compartment while the position of the conveyor outlet is outside of the target unloading area.

  • Patent number: 10966071
    Abstract: A control system of a first agricultural system includes a first controller having a processor and a memory. The first controller is configured to instruct a display to present a map of a work area, in which the map includes a selectable icon corresponding to a second agricultural system, and the selectable icon is positioned at a location on the map corresponding to a position of the second agricultural system within the work area. The first controller is also configured to receive selection of the selectable icon, to output a request to pair with the second agricultural system in response to receiving the selection, and to pair the first agricultural system with the second agricultural system in response to receiving a pairing confirmation from the second agricultural system.
