Raven Autonomy™ Driver Assist Harvest Solution​

Enhance Driver Assistance, Guidance, and Precision with Raven Industries' Harvest Innovation

Raven Autonomy™ Driver Assist Harvest Solution: The Future of Farming Automation Technology

As farming practices continue to evolve, Raven is revolutionizing the agricultural industry. Raven Industries is a leading provider of precision agriculture solutions, including driver assist harvest innovations. Our Driver Assist Harvest Solution is the first of many driver-assisted solutions that Raven is developing.

The Raven Autonomy™ Driver Assist Harvest Solution gives any grain cart driver — of any skill level — the tools to operate with confidence. Our cutting-edge Driver Assist Harvest Solution combines forward-thinking precision harvest automation and advanced guidance systems. It is optimized for modern farming practices and is designed to improve productivity while reducing labor costs.

How Does Driver Assist Harvest Solution Work?

The Driver Assist Harvest Solution coordinates the path and speed of the tractor during an "unload on the go" operation. Once the tractor and harvester are in proximity, the tractor operator engages automatic steering and propulsion. Driver Assist syncs grain cart with combine at distances up to 70 m (229 feet). This synchronizes the heading and speed of the tractor with the heading and speed of the combine, putting full control of the unload process in the hands of the combine operator.

Using the multifunction controller, the combine operator can nudge the grain cart forward or backward to fill the bin appropriately — no need to speed up or slow down to change sync position. Once the cart is full, the tractor operator can steer to disengage the sync and drive to the appropriate unload point.

Key Features

  • Decreases grain spillage from miscommunication or imperfect unload coordination when manually unloading.
  • Reduces likelihood of tractor and combine header collision.
  • Reduces combine/grain cart operator stress. ​​
  • Gives skilled operators confidence to multi-task.
  • Shortens training time for new drivers, allowing them to operate like a pro in no time.
  • Provides both guidance and propulsion sync to a specific calibrated point during unloading events. ​​
  • Optimizes guidance accuracy with sub-inch RTK corrections.
  • Syncs grain cart with combine at distances up to 70 m (229 feet)
“I’m not the best technology guru in the world by a long shot, but once I watched how to operate Driver Assist Harvest, it was actually very operator friendly.” — Bob Biadasz, Farmer; Amherst, WI

About Raven Autonomy™ Driver Assist Technology

Our suite of Driver Assist Technology goes beyond precision, giving the operator the full scope of autonomy capabilities with the push of a button. These holistic solutions ensure that all settings are automatically accounted for, including propulsion, guidance, and functional controls. This allows anyone to operate like a pro while maintaining discretionary control.

The Driver Assist Harvest Solution is the first of many Raven Autonomy™ Driver Assist solutions that will help make autonomy more accessible and available to farmers worldwide. Driver Assist technology empowers farmers to grow their operations rapidly by reducing the time needed to train new workers and ultimately making it easier to cover more acres in a day with less operator fatigue.

Reduce Accidents, Stress, and Spillage with the Driver Assist Harvest Solution

The Driver Assist Harvest Solution relieves the stress of combine to tractor grain cart sync operations. The benefit of a driver assisted autonomous grain cart setup is that you can move seamlessly between manual operation and autonomous sync.

Instead of dreading the stress of perfectly coordinating the tractor with the speed and position of the combine while also keeping an eye on field conditions, operators can have peace of mind with the push of a couple buttons as the Driver Assist Harvest Solution takes care of steering and propulsion. When engaged, the Driver Assist technology automatically matches the tractor’s speed and positioning with the combine, ensuring the machines are working in perfect harmony without requiring communication between operators. Driver Assist Harvest Solution decreases grain spillage from miscommunication or imperfect unload coordination when manually unloading.

Using the Raven Autonomy™ tech stack, the Driver Assist Harvest Solution makes autonomy more accessible for operators at all experience levels, addressing the market’s limited availability of skilled labor by decreasing the level of training needed to operate like a pro. By reducing the likelihood of collisions and unnecessary spills at the unload point, Driver Assist Harvest Solutions increase harvest unload reliability and enhance the confidence of less experienced equipment drivers.
Equipped with sophisticated sensors and advanced algorithms, Raven's Driver Assist Harvest Solution can accurately navigate fields, avoid obstacles, operate in diverse terrains and weather conditions, and sync perfectly with your combine, making them highly versatile and adaptable to different farming environments and taking grain collection accuracy to a whole new level.

I would recommend the Driver Assist Harvest Solution to other farmers because, sometimes, the grain cart operator gets really tired at the end of the day. They might shoot too far forward or might not get close enough to the auger. The Driver Assist Harvest Solution takes some of that fatigue away, which could save you money and prevent spilled grain.
