Multispectral cameras power variable rate applications

Augmenta controls VR granular and liquid applications in real time; the roof-mounted camera analyzes crop conditions

Augmenta is a cab-mounted system with five 4K multispectral cameras, each working in a different wavelength. Artificial intelligence analyzes the plants then makes real time VR instructions that control the application of liquid and solid nutrients, plant growth regulators, fungicides, desiccants and defoliants.

CNH has plans for Augmenta

On March 15, CNH bought 100 percent of Augmenta. According to the press release, it will manage Augmenta through its “Sense and Act” division, which focuses on automated sensor-detected decisions. Augmenta’s previous innovations in this area include development of a multispectral camera and software that monitors a machine’s operating environment and acts directly via the […] Read more
