ASDDA®

Technical Features

  • Integrated, ruggedly designed data recording system with chip card reader
  • Illuminated LCD touch display (to be handled even with gloves)
  • GPS-receiver
  • Commercially available flow meters can be retrofitted to any of the armatures
  • Inductive position encoder
  • Thousandfold proven wind velocity indicator
  • Short-distance radio transmitter
  • Base station at your home with receiver and data line to your PC

 

Advantages

  • Time is saved as you no longer have to write protocols and reports by hand or typing.
  • Document-proof evidence of the spraying procedure which is important in case of recourse claims or for invoicing as an agricultural contractor.
  • Enables you to make economic evaluations and supplement the data at your own PC.
  • The system is activated automatically when inserting your personal chipcard.
    • Invoicing
    • Cost accounting
    • Documentation system

As an alternative, the data can be stored on our server. In this case the data recording system is equipped with a GPRS transmitter and the data are retrieved via the internet.

Lost in orientation?

Using the ‘ASDDA’ data recording system you will always be up-to-date about the spraying data of your business.
You will know, when and where and in which quantities spraying was done and ? moreover ? you will know the prevailing environmental conditions at the time of spraying.
The system requires no manual entries whatsoever. All required data are stored on your chipcard, which also allows you to start or stop the data recording. Once you reach home, the data will be transferred automatically by short-distance radio transmission to your personal computer and will be presented there as graphics display or as spraying protocol. All data, of course, are stored in a way that is safe for documents.
 

Data Recording

Using his personal chip card, the user logs into the system installed on the tractor. Via a scanner the barcode of the spraying medium is read-in and the number of the jet nozzles to be used is determined. During the spraying operation the position is permanently registered and various sensors (at the tractor and at the sprayer) record:

All data are presented on the illuminated display in the driver cabin. In addition to this, a warning is generated and displayed to the user, if one or more nozzles fail or if the wind becomes too strong.
The data are stored permanently and forgery-proof in the device.
This modular system can be enhanced to the final stage where the blower and the part widths are controlled automatically – dependent on the location and the actually prevailing wind – thus reducing drift significantly.

 

Data Evaluation

Coming back home, the data are radio-transmitted from the mobile unit to the base station. The data are transferred from the receiver to the PC and stored there. 

The raw data recorded are stored in a way safe for documents and are available at any time for further processing at the PC.
The following data are recorded per field or any defined area:

Thus, the user obtains all data required for his spraying journal. Moreover – the data can be stored in agroxml-format for economic evaluation per field.
