You can access this information and set up tasks in Sabanto’s Vehicle Mission Control (vMC) app. Within the app you map out the task at hand—where the tractor should go, what to avoid, and how fast it should operate. Step 1: Create a Job This is where you will define what is workable land and what is not workable land. You will select the tractor to complete the task as well as the implement required. Step 2: Create a Mission After the Job has been created, you will break the job into smaller ‘Missions.’ Turn-by-turn paths are created in this step. You can also run simultaneous missions within a job using multiple tractors. Step 3: Run a Mission From here you can monitor the mission in realtime. The app will also alert you when something unexpected happens, like the identification of an unexpected object. What is the turnaround time for equipping a tractor with Steward™? Well, it depends. “This is dependent upon the make and model number. Quite often, adding another model number to our portfolio requires zero engineering. For example, we support the John Deere 5090E because it is mechanically and electrically identical to the 5100E,” explains Rupp. “The John Deere 5075E is quite similar to the John Deere 5100E and required very little engineering. The Fendt 700 was a substantial engineering effort.” Rupp adds that the company is working diligently with farmers to scale their operations to accelerate the adoption of autonomy. “Creating a ground-breaking technology is one thing. Integrating it into a farming operation at scale is another,” says Rupp. | pag 15 www.agcareers.com 877.438.5729 AgCareers.com agcareers@agcareers.com
