The HARVEST ASSIST app, which is available free-of-charge from PÖTTINGER, optimizes forage harvesting for the best fermentation process in the clamp. By taking into account the crop volumes, the distance from the field to the clamp, and the compaction rate in the clamp, the app deploys the mower, tedder, rake and loader wagon in the field to optimise delivery to the clamp and avoid traffic jams. Available for iOS and Android, the app can be easily installed on any smartphone.
In just a few steps, fields can be added and assigned to each of the machines. The intuitive display shows all the fields to be harvested, their status and the live locations of all machines. The loader wagon driver can see at a glance which fields have already been raked.
An optimised harvesting sequence of the fields is calculated automatically based on the distance between each field and the clamp so that forage is delivered to the clamp at regular intervals to avoid delivery peaks.
