Tech Chat - How the automatic steering system is composed and works?

When it comes to agriculture, some people think of heavy farm work, and some people think of various crops.  In the past, farmers worked every day at sunrise and returned at sunset. A year of hard work was for the final harvest.

Now many farms use all kinds of machines instead of human labor, such as seeders for sowing, dosing machines for dosing, and harvesters for harvesting crops.  Faced with a large farming area, how to sow and harvest the fastest and make reasonable use of land resources has become a headache for many farmers.

With the advancement of science and technology, automatic steering systems that combine satellite navigation, sensors and agricultural machinery have also emerged. The composition of the automatic steering system is simpler than that of unmanned vehicles, and it can be easily installed on agricultural tractors to work. The automatic steering system can greatly improve the utilization of land, improve work efficiency, and reduce the work pressure of personnel.

How the automatic steering system is composed and works

The automatic steering system mainly includes components: GNSS antennas, sensors, tablet console, electric motor, connection cables, etc.

GNSS antenna: Receive satellite signals transmitted by various satellite systems in real time. There are two antennas, the main antenna is used for positioning and the secondary antenna is used heading.

Sensor: Gyroscope or Angle sensor is installed on the farm machine to monitor the attitude of the farm machine in real time.

Tablet console: As the console of the automatic steering system, the tablet is not only used as a display terminal, but also embedded with a high-precision GNSS module, which is used to receive the satellite signals provided by the two antennas and the differential signal provided by the base station, and calculate the position, speed and direction of the agricultural machinery in real time. At the same time, the attitude data of the agricultural machine is obtained from the sensor, and the steering information is output to the motor according to the working mode set in the software.

Electric motor: As the control unit of the entire system, the motor controls the agricultural machinery to move forward, go straight or curved, and turn around by receiving signals from the tablet computer, thereby realizing intelligent driving.

Connection cable: Connect various components for data transmission.

A good automated steering system not only needs a complete hardware system, but also needs complete software functions to meet all the demands of customers. At present, our SAgro100 automatic steering system has complete hardware and software, which can realize functions such as straight line, curve, pivot, turn and so on.

Our SAgro100 system is constantly being updated and improved to optimize the user experience. At the same time, the parameters of different models are also recorded, making your configuration more and more convenient.
