OMNiDRIVE™

Unleashing the Future of Farming with Autonomous Harvest Operations

Raven Industries is leading the agricultural industry by developing autonomous technology innovations that revolutionize traditional farming practices. OMNiDRIVE is Raven’s state-of-the-art driverless grain cart platform that offers unprecedented efficiency and productivity in the field by reducing grain spillage, protecting unharvested crop, and staying in-sync with the harvester at all times.

Autonomous Grain Cart Technology is Within Reach

Raven's OMNiDRIVE™ technology brings advanced autonomous capabilities to your grain collection and transport needs, making it a game-changer for harvesting operations.
Imagine this — you can request an autonomous grain cart sync with your harvester whenever you need it! Connect, control, and optimize your grain cart harvest operations, all from a tablet-based platform. OMNiDRIVE saves you money by reducing the precious downtime usually wasted waiting for the grain cart.
With its precise navigation and mapping system, OMNiDRIVE can autonomously collect harvested grain from the combine operator into the grain cart, and then to the unload point. A driver can then unload the cart and command the tractor back to the staging area where it will wait for the next call, ready to go again!

Key Features

  • Allows you to reallocate resources to other tasks.
  • Reduces grain spillage and other synchronization errors.
  • Protects unharvested crop with sub-inch GPS accuracy.
  • Keeps in-field obstacles unharmed with its state-of-the-art perception system.
  • Gives the combine operator complete control of the speed, sync, and offloading of the grain cart.
  • Uses a tablet-based user interface for all operations.
  • Features boundary setup, modification, and predictive path planning that stays in-sync and on-course.


​"With the Raven OMNiDRIVE, I never missed the cart once. With the guy in there, we ended up spilling twice within a half hour." - Ron Holiday, Producer, Mapleton, ND

HOW IT WORKS

Set a path plan and offloading area to sync the harvester with the driverless tractor pulling the grain cart. When the harvester is ready to offload, the operator calls the tractor to sync the harvester in the field so it can offload the grain into the autonomous transport vehicle. Then, the tractor can be commanded back to the staging area and wait for the next call.

RELIABLE OBSTACLE & CROP DETECTION

OMNiDRIVE uses several strategically placed safety cameras that supply reliable obstacle detection. Camera images also run through an AI process that recognizes humans, animals, equipment, and other dangerous obstacles. The system can also establish the difference between sections of unharvested crops and crops that were missed.

The best part about OMNiDRIVE so far is not having a driver in that tractor. You always know that the grain cart is there. You don’t need to think what the other person is thinking. You’re completely in control.

— Matt Boeve, Producer, Steen, MN

OMNiDRIVE is Easy to Set Up, Easy to Use

Once you set up your field and boundaries, OMNiDRIVE is a breeze to use. The system helps you by using a driverless tractor pulling a grain cart to shuttle between the field and the predetermined unloading area during the busy harvest season, giving back hundreds of labor hours. You, as the combine driver, can easily order a grain cart sync from the tractor cab of your combine, reducing downtime.

All The Benefits of OMNiDRIVE's Autonomous System

OMNiDRIVE helps you conserve resources by lowering labor costs, reducing human errors, and increasing efficiency. This technology also features perception technology that detects obstacles, such as ditches, humans, animals, and equipment, and adjusts the driverless tractor’s path accordingly. This enables safer and more reliable navigation in any field condition.
OMNiDRIVE's advanced capabilities in driverless grain cart/tractor operations provide farmers with unprecedented efficiency, productivity, and cost savings. With OMNiDRIVE, farmers can unlock the full potential of autonomous agriculture, save time and money, and embrace a more sustainable and profitable future.
