Raven SmartBoom
Raven Industries has released the SmartBoom automatic boom control system, which turns boom sections on or off, reducing costly spraying errors such as skips and overlaps.
The SmartBoom provides a plug and play complement to the Raven SCS rate controller line.
The system is self-contained, eliminating the need to use an Envizio Plus or Viper to control the system. Using “spray” or “no spray zone” areas, the SmartBoom controller automatically turns the boom off if the section is in a previously applied area, eliminating overlaps. It then turns boom sections back on after leaving a previously applied area.
The system can control up to seven boom sections at a time and is compatible with the Raven SCS 440, 450, 460 and 660 controllers. The SmartBoom system will also work with any GPS receiver that has a minimum update rate of four Hz.
It sells for $1,995 US.
