New Holland to offer insights into its automation projects at WORLD FIRA 2025
At World FIRA 2025, New Holland will offer insights into its latest advancements in precision farming and automation, designed to enhance grower productivity and sustainability. One of these is Advanced Vision Assisted Guidance for specialty tractors.
New Holland works on solutions that make operators’ tasks less strenuous and help increase efficiency while reducing waste and soil pollution by creating synergies between tractors and “smart” implements. At World FIRA, New Holland will display one of the innovation projects currently under development, Advanced Vision Assisted Guidance for specialty tractors, a technology developed in-house. It was recently recognised with an EIMA Technical Innovation award.
LiDAR vision and simultaneous localisation and mapping algorithms
Currently in its testing phase, the system uses LiDAR vision technology combined with simultaneous localisation and mapping algorithms (in place of GPS), to autonomously steer both down the rows and at row ends, while simultaneously controlling the rear mounted implement. This eliminates the risk of error and incidents resulting from any loss of signal caused by factors such as canopy coverage, netting, nearby greenhouses, or valley slopes.
With minimal to no human intervention, it allows less operators to manage operations, as well as relieving more experienced growers of repetitive and arduous tasks, meaning they can focus on value added tasks such as ensuring optimal sprayer coverage and precise inter-row applications.
