This is the Farmbook. It's a ruggedized Dell Latitude 7230 12" all-in-one tablet. It's super powerful and it runs Farmwave's proprietary AI at the edge. So you don't need to be connected to the cloud.
You can get it with 1 camera, or up to 8 cameras, depending on the crop you're harvesting and the machine you have.
This camera is on the header facing down
Most operators put one camera on each side of the header looking at the ground to monitor header loss.
The other camera goes on the back of the combine pointed upward, focused on the spread chopper area and looks for grain, in flight, coming out of the back of the machine to measure combine loss.
If you have a combine with a dual spreader in the back, you can add another camera and simply point it towards the corners.
This camera is on the rear axle pointed upwards
These cameras take a picture every 3 seconds.
They replicate the hand count method by simply counting the kernels in the frame, which is 3 ft square, or 1 meter square.
It does this 300+ times per acre without ever stopping the combine.
In the cab, on the Farmbook, you'll see a horizontal graph for each camera.
The number in the circle represents the number of kernels it counted in the last pic it took. The graph is a trend line on your counts throughout the field.
Green is 0-9 kernels
Yellow is 10-19 kernels
Red is 20+ kernels
You can set this threshold in the settings screen and change it if you like.
Here is what it looks like to the camera view.
You can see these images when you expand on the graph and epand your view.
You can tap on one of the graphs and it will pull up an exploded view. Tap on a dot in the timeline, and it will show you the actual image where it counted grain.
Back on the main running page, you'll see values such as your average loss per acre, per count, and average losses on the day.
When you finish a session, (1 session = 1 field), you can save your progress and it creates a report.
It'll show you all the counts it made across the field (breadcrumbs), with their correlating numbers and colors for easy reference.
You can export these to PDF, send them to someone else via email, or export to a JSON format to put into other software.
We're continuously collaborating with OEMs on new integrations.
