Automated on-farm data capture

AG-HUB contracts exclusive inputs from organizations such as FarmWorks that have automated data gathering & telemetry solutions.

An excellent example of this contracted automated data capture service is "The Feed Reader".

The Feed Reader is a revolutionary new device that takes pasture measuring to a new level.  The reading sensor is an ultrasonic measuring device that is designed to mount to the front of your ATV, rather than taking up your valuable tow bar.  The display console is an extremely smart system capable of monitoring your location by GPS, sending your records automatically back to your computer, or even monitoring ATVs to alert the driver on unsafe driving.

 The Ultrasonic Feed Reader is a development from the Department of Primary Industries Australia, in development since 2001.

How does it work?

• The vehicle calibrates itself on a hard surface  (0 cover)
• The reading head reads an area the size of a platemeter as it moves along.  The returned reading gives a mm of height assessment, which is then applied against a formula.  The higher the reader head, the larger the circular area that is read from.
