Why Do I Need Autonomy?
Welcome to a new dawn in farming with John Deere Autonomous Tractors.
Would an extra worker come in handy? One that's never late. One that won't mind working all night. That's one of the beauties about autonomy. It's like an extra pair of hands. Another one is that it allows you to optimize time. By leaving the tractor out to do more work, you can shave precious minutes off tight windows, beat the weather and take advantage of favorable soil conditions when the time's right. That's more acres and more productivity, all without adding more labor.
Fully Autonomous Tractor
Imagine. A tractor that not only thinks, it sees. A tractor that's always ready to work. A tractor that lets you and your operators tackle other jobs, while it does its job... by itself.
The first job you can tackle is tillage with the John Deere autonomous tillage solution. Orders will open up soon, but in the meantime, here's an inside peek into autonomous farming.
⠀
Are you Autonomy Ready?
Chances are you're already closer than you think, if you're using precision technology. If you're comfortable transferring maps, tillage prescriptions, and machine and field data to and from the tractor in John Deere Operations Center™, you're more than halfway to full autonomy. You can familiarize yourself with other machine-based technologies, such as G5Plus Display, along with G5 Advanced License.
G5 Advanced License includes:
• AutoTrac™
• AutoTrac RowSense
• AutoPath Boundaries
• AutoTrac Turn Automation
• Section Control
• Machine Sync
• In Field Data Sharing
• TruSet™ Tillage Technology
We've also added a few innovations to make it fully autonomous
360-Degree Cameras
Sixteen advanced cameras provide 360-degree vision to see objects in the field and triangulate distance.
High-Speed Processor
As images stream from the cameras, a high-speed processor evaluates every pixel of every image.
Neural Network
Artificial intelligence sorts the images and determines if the area is safe to drive over or not... all in about 100 milliseconds.
Old Equipment or New, Autonomy is for You
Whether your equipment is brand new or tried and true, autonomy is ready for you. You can buy your new equipment with the Autonomy Ready option straight from the factory and be ready for full autonomy with the addition of the Autonomous Perception System. Or you can update your existing equipment with the John Deere Autonomy Precision Upgrade.
Hand on… or Hands-Free?
The autonomous tillage solution has a fully equipped cab with operator controls. When you want to drive it… drive it! But when you're short-handed, have a tight weather window, or just want to spend more time with the family, you have an out of cab option that tirelessly works for you, while you tend to other important things.
Tech for the Future. Now.
Ready your Fleet. The 8R, 8RX, 9R, and 9RX Tractors, along with the CC Series Coulter Chisel, 2430 Chisel Plow, 2230FH Field Cultivator, HSD Series High-Speed Disks, and 2660VT Variable Intensity Tillage, all come with Autonomy Ready components in-base. Already own a John Deere tractor or tillage tool? The John Deere Autonomy Precision Upgrade enables a simple solution to convert existing equipment. Minimize hardware complexity and reduce or eliminate barriers to entry.
Work You See. Work You Control.
Using Operations Center Mobile, you can monitor your tractor anytime, anywhere with a smartphone or tablet. You'll also receive alerts if the tractor senses an obstacle or mechanical issue. And live video access gives you real-time views of what the tractor is doing at any time.
Swipe to Start Work.
Once preseason prep work is done and you're in the field, putting the autonomous tractor to work is fast and easy.
- Transport your tractor to the field
- Configure it for autonomous operation
- Swipe right on your tablet or smartphone
The tractor will start, scan for obstacles, and signal "all clear" if none are found. Then it'll automatically start the work you've planned for it.
Upgrade and Go!
Autonomy is ready for you and your existing equipment too. The John Deere Autonomy Precision Upgrade offers a solution that reduces, or eliminates, barriers to entry. Enjoy a smooth transition with minimized hardware complexities so you can click into the future with ease.
