AUTOMATED VIRTUAL LOAD TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969259 titled 'AUTOMATED VIRTUAL LOAD TRACKING
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes techniques for automating the collection, aggregation, and processing of data related to the harvesting or dispersion of an agricultural product. This includes collecting data during planting and harvesting operations to improve efficiency and product identification.
- Automated collection, aggregation, and processing of data related to agricultural product harvesting or dispersion
- Automatic deployment of field carts for offloading/loading products from/to agricultural vehicles
- Automated data collection, aggregation, and identification to track products through all stages
Potential Applications: 1. Agriculture industry for improving efficiency and productivity 2. Supply chain management for better tracking and identification of products 3. Logistics for automated handling of agricultural products during harvesting and dispersion
Problems Solved: 1. Manual data collection and processing inefficiencies 2. Lack of automated systems for tracking and identifying agricultural products 3. Inefficient handling of products during harvesting and dispersion operations
Benefits: 1. Improved efficiency and productivity in agriculture operations 2. Enhanced tracking and identification of agricultural products 3. Streamlined logistics and handling processes
Commercial Applications: Automated systems for data collection and processing in agriculture can be used in various commercial applications such as farm management software, logistics solutions, and supply chain optimization tools.
Questions about Automated Agricultural Data Collection: 1. How does automated data collection benefit the agriculture industry? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing automated systems for agricultural data collection and processing?
Original Abstract Submitted
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for automating the collection aggregation, and processing of data relating to harvesting or dispersion of an agricultural product. During harvesting and planting operations, data related to the product harvested or planted can be collected, aggregated, and used to improve the operation, and to help identification of the product at point of sale or point of dispersion. Further, certain operations can be automated during the harvesting or planting, such as automatic deployment of a field cart to offload/load product from/to the agricultural vehicle in the field. Additionally, load data can be automatically collected, aggregated, and identified, to follow the product through all stages.
