NEW SENSORS, CONTROLS AND GPS TECHNOLOGY OFFER NEW PRODUCTS TO ENHANCEPERFORMACE AND PRODUCTIVITY FOR COTTON GROWERS AND GINNERS

摘要

IR sensor technology, DGPS, and microwave signals are used in several new products offered by Advanced Sensing and Controls(formerly AGRIPLAN). These technologies are used to help track module and navigate module trucks, control the flow ofcotton in the gin, measure and control lint and seedcotton moisture, measure seed and trash weight on the fly, and provide realtime account of the gin performance (the Monitor~(TM)). For cotton growers ASCI has introduced a low cost, hands free yieldmonitor. A high accuracy IR weight monitor for test plot and precision yield evaluation purposes. Each of these products.
