Raven nozzle control to improve spray
Raven Industries has launched its new Hawkeye 2 nozzle control system. Raven says its new system increases spray uni- formity and consistency across the sprayer boom. This is to reduce drift and increase application quality. Individual nozzle con- trol and turn compensation help eliminate skips, overlaps and misapplication in the field. “Hawkeye 2 offers optimal accuracy and is simple to use and maintain,” said Brian Meyer, Vice President of Raven Ap- plied Technology. “This advanced solution gives operators the capability to perform complex applications with ease and con- sistency across the boom. This reduces operator fatigue, optimises input costs and increases application quality.” Accord- ing to Meyer, increased flow per nozzle and variable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequency provide the ability to dynamically compensate to match the varying conditions of agriculture.
New Claas Cemis 700 terminal
Claas will gradually replace its Operator and Communicator II operating terminals with the Cemis 700. It will be available as an option from October 2020 for Disco But- terfly mower combinations, the Rollant 540 round baler, Quadrant square balers and Cargos loader wagons. These are facto- ry-equipped with an Isobus connection. So, if you’re happy with your existing Isobus terminal, you don’t need anything else. Al- ternatively you can buy the Cemis 700 at an additional cost of € 897 (US$ 1,022). This new terminal has an ergonomic design with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces. It has ten backlit Isobus hard keys as well as a ro- tary/push button. The high-contrast colour display with touch function features a 7-inch screen and automatic day/night switching. The camera input also supports the display of real-time images from up to two cameras, which can be changed at the touch of a button or automatically. This gives the operator a clear view of the es- sential functions of the add-on device as well as the area behind the machine.

Multi-depth soil moisture sensor
Onset has announced the release of its new HOBOnet multi-depth soil moisture sensor. This is a wireless sensor that works with HOBOnet (Onset’s wireless mesh network system for remote monitoring over large areas) measuring soil moisture and soil temperature at multiple depths with a sin- gle probe. The sensor measures soil mois- ture along the entire length of each probe segment for the largest volume of influence per measurement section, which will result in more accurate results. A high frequency of pulses per measurement ensures precise, consistent soil moisture data. With the op- tional pilot rod and slide hammer tools, in- stallation should be nearly effortless, even in hard soil.
HOBOnet is a scalable solution for web- enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, re- search and greenhouse operations. The multi-depth soil moisture sensor is availa- ble in three probe lengths, for measure- ments from 45 cm (18 in) to 90 cm (35 in) deep. Pricing starts at US$ 690 (€ 590).
