Torsten and a colleague explain how Auto Setup cuts setup time and operator errors by integrating planning with machine operation. The new workplanner tools handle fieldwork planning and execution together, making precision ag simpler for operators.
Let's talk about Auto Setup. Torsten, Auto Setup replaces the My Job solution. Is that correct?
Yes. As part of Auto Setup, we're introducing the new workplanner tools, web and mobile versions in Operations Center. This offers a new fully integrated planning experience where you can plan work in the Operations center and send it directly to the machine in the field.
And what is the work that can be planned with this new tool?
All the four main operation types can be planned in the new tool.
So tillage, seeding, application and harvest.
Exactly. And while planning, the user just has a few steps. The first one, he defines the work details like products, machines and operators to use. The second, he selects the fields. And in the third step he goes in the field specific details like prescriptions or guidance lines. And then with just a few clicks, he can send the information directly to a connected machine.
And how exactly can the driver access this data?
The setup file appears automatically on the Gen 4 display. When the tractor crosses the field boundary, the work plan automatically loads and work can start immediately.
That really does sound like a lot less work for the operator. I am very impressed.
It's really a great solution. Setup time in the field can be reduced by up to 90% and you face less operator errors. So basically, you can plan your work from anywhere with any device. And all this is coming for free.
And it's free of charge. Auto Setup. That's what I call a smart solution.
