Pöttinger's Harvest Assist App helps to simplify and optimize logistics while harvesting forage.
Harvest Asssit takes into account harvesting volumes, the distance between the field and the clamp and optimizing compaction performance in the clamp, to achieve the best quality forage. In addition, the app enables real-time communication using existing hardware. Available for iOS and Android, every member of the harvest convoy can install the app on their smartphone for free. This provides an intuitive overview for straightforward control of all the grassland harvesting machines.
The app makes it easy to add fields and assign them to each of the machines. There is a very clear overview of the fields to be harvested and also their status, for instance, whether they have already been raked and the crop collected.
The algorithm that calculates the optimum harvest sequence is especially innovative. The harvest volumes, the distance between each field and the clamp and the compaction performance in the clamp are superimposed on the display. This provides the tractor drivers with information on the optimized harvesting sequence so that they deliver crop to the clamp at regular intervals and avoid delivery peaks.
