What the Hectare One system does

ExplainedHectare One firmware · 1.2.3

The seeding control system with the Hectare One panel in one page — what it watches, what it drives, and what it records.

The seeding control system with the Hectare One panel is made by Agriwelt. It watches sowing and the application of dry and liquid fertilizer on mounted and trailed implements — seed drills, planters, cultivators — and it drives the dispensers and the pump so that the set rate is actually applied.

The Hectare One panel: the operator's single point of contact with the system.

The panel sits in the cab. Everything else is on the implement: one seed sensor per section, and whatever the machine needs besides — see What is supplied.

Seed

  • Applies seed to the rate the operator sets, through the dispenser electric motors — on row-crop planters and on grain drills.
  • Watches the actual sowing against that rate and reports a section that falls behind.
  • Reports a blocked or empty tube by its number.
  • Counts seeds, doubles and skips — on row-crop planters.
  • Accepts a section shut-off signal from a third-party navigation system.
Seed sensor for round seed pipes, 25–35 mm.

Dry and liquid fertilizer

  • Applies liquid fertilizer to the rate through the electric pump.
  • Watches dry and liquid lines and reports a section that falls behind or blocks, by number.

The machine around the product

  • Hopper level, dispenser shaft rotation, fan speed, air pressure or vacuum, travel speed — each against its own limits.
  • The sensors of an autonomous fan-drive engine: oil pressure, battery charge, ignition, fuel level, air filter.
  • Working or transport position of the implement.

Tramline

  • Creates the tramline with actuators or by stopping dispenser motors.
  • Advances the bout by itself from the marker sensors.
  • Keeps watching the sections that are shut off, so that a section leaking into the tramline is still reported.

Records

  • Treated area, separated into what was sown and what was lost to skips.
  • Detailed statistics of the run, and reports written to the memory card.
  • Firmware of the devices in the system, updated from the same card.
