Case IH Introduces New Precision Technology Tools

Today’s farmers are challenged not only with rising production demands, increased costs, and skilled labor shortages, but also increasingly complex operations to manage. Case IH understands that farmers need seamless, easy-to-use technology to help make their lives easier, so they are reducing the hassle of managing multiple technology subscriptions and delivering interoperable tech solutions.  

Case IH’s mission is to deliver actionable data and impactful solutions that make farming easier, more efficient and profitable. That’s why Case IH is launching a series of technology initiatives that put the farmer user-experience at the forefront. The all-new FieldOps™ mobile and web application redefines the way farmers connect, view and manage their operations while expanded API integrations allow farmers to connect with third party providers and manage mixed fleets. Additionally, Connectivity Included eliminates subscriptions on new qualifying equipment* while Precision Technology Packages simplify the technology purchase experience.

Designing a Robotic Berry Picker

Video: Designing a Robotic Berry Picker


Since blackberries must be harvested by hand, the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To support a growing blackberry industry in Arkansas, food science associate professor Renee Threlfall is collaborating with mechanical engineering assistant professor Anthony Gunderman to develop a mechanical harvesting system. Most recently, the team designed a device to measure the force needed to pick a blackberry without damaging it. The data from this device will help inform the next stage of development and move the team closer to the goal of a fully autonomous robotic berry picker. The device was developed by Gunderman, with Yue Chen, a former U of A professor now at Georgia Tech, and Jeremy Collins, then a U of A undergraduate engineering student. To determine the force needed to pick blackberries without damage, the engineers worked with Threlfall and Andrea Myers, then a graduate student.
