Adding Precision to Horticulture The close collaboration between Hol Spraying Systems (HSS), Agromanager and PlantmatiQ, has resulted in a powerful pooling of knowledge of the industrial world and precision agriculture HSS was looking for a sparring partner who could think along in the development of their future machines. The result is that since 2018, we have been designing and Together with Agromanager, we have reliably translated the “Agromanager” software into hardware and physical actions: “the spraying of trees”. In addition, we were able to provide the necessary tools for Agromanager to benchmark their software solutions on various industrial PCs (IPc’s). On all quotes and orders the Fedecom terms and conditions apply This can be supplied on upon request or be downloaded from our w

It is of vital importance that every tree or crop receives just enough of spraying fluid. It is not easy to determine the right dose. The goal has always been: drift reduction. Higher drift reduction means that more accurate spraying can be performed, which reduces the environmental impact and reduces consumption of spray fluids. Besides adding functionality, work had to be done on the user-friendly...

This led, among other things, to an ergonomic design of the main driving screen. Check marks indicate when an optimal spray mist is present, and whether spray caps may be clogged The modular design of the hardware and software makes it possible to control every available option with the PLC software. Options can be implemented together or separately, e.g. by making it possible to install a 2020 option...

The Next Step The next step is to test additional functionalities. Some of these are currently being rolled out. GPS Option Tests are well on their way to control spraying systems using a “job file” with GPS positions. This makes it possible to choose in advance which trees should or should not be treated (section control). With the GPS module used, an accuracy of 2 cm can be achieved driving at over...

The iPC of this system is equipped with a PlantmatiQ compiled operating system, which is impervious to voltage failure. Remote support is provided by Agromanager or by us over a VPN connection. I.S.A. (Intelligent Spray Application) Option “I.S.A.” is a system that is able to control nozzles based on the leaf mass that is measured. This increases the efficiency of spraying, and on average results...

An additional benefit is that the leaf mass is recorded during measuring. As a result, every time this system is driven through the orchard, a clear picture of the condition of the trees can be obtained. This data can be used for further growth regulation or fertilization. Conclusion Projects like this can only succeed in good cooperation, when knowledge and expertise are shared. Due to the multifaceted knowledge within IT and OT, we have...
