Robot: Case IH Trident 5550 applicator with Raven Autonomy
Category: Specialised
Task: Dry Spreading
Development start: 2021
Pricing: —-
Manufacturer:
Description
The industry’s first true autonomous dry spreader. The Case IH Trident 5550 applicator with Raven Autonomy is the combination of Case IH’s existing Trident 5550 platform and the Raven Autonomy tech stack which was developed on OMNiPOWER 3200. The machine can be run as a driverless applicator or run conventionally using the intuitive Viper 4+ display in the cab.
Drive Train Type
Diesel engine, hydrostatic drive
Characteristics
Engine HP 300; 33 gpm hydraulics, 330 cu. ft. dry application bin with New Leader® 4500T G4 Edge
Navigation System
The robot uses RTK GPS for staying within geofenced field boundary. It has 2 control systems. Primary is the GCS Tablet operating Raven Proprietary software, web based, to plan out missions on the tablet. The missions include driving direction (compass heading), swath width, travel speed, turning radius and the treatment or non-treatment of “headland” areas, as well as start and stop point. The completed mission plan is wirelessly transmitted to the OMNiPOWER for completion. Operation then proceeds autonomously.
The machine has onboard cameras for operator viewing, as well as a non-contact perception system consisting of cameras and radar sensors. The robot operator has a high range remote with e-stop as a secondary control for the robot.
The Case IH Trident 5550 applicator with Raven Autonomy automatically stops under the following conditions:
a) e-stop is pressed
b) safety fence is tripped
c) loss of RTK GPS
d) loss of data communications on either the GCS tablet or the OMNi itself
e) loss of contact with the high range remote
f) a specific error code related to the machine operation, such as but not limited to: excessive wheel slippage, off track physical location, certain engine monitoring conditions, certain implement conditions, safe operation. A light beacon offers a visual warning that the Case IH Trident 5550 applicator with Raven Autonomy is about to move, and a horn sounds multiple times prior to movement.
