Data transfer
A method of transferring as applied data from one agricultural monitor to another agricultural monitor without using external software to convert the data. The method includes collecting as applied data as a first machine that is coupled with a first agricultural implement both traverse a field and perform an agricultural operation on a first region of the field. The method further includes storing the as applied data into a file of a first device of the first machine and embedding prescription data and field boundary data into the file of the first device.
1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
collecting, with one or more sensors, as applied data as a first machine that is coupled with a first agricultural implement both traverse a field and perform an agricultural operation on a first region of the field;
storing the as applied data into a file of a first device that is in-cab of the first machine; and
embedding, with a processing system of the first device, prescription data and field boundary data into the file of the first device that is in-cab of the first machine during the agricultural operation concurrently with the as applied data being collected and stored in the file of the first device.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:
transferring the file having the applied data, prescription data, and field boundary data from the first device that is in-cab of the first machine to a second device of a second machine that is coupled with a second agricultural implement.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the prescription and boundary data is embedded directly into the file having as applied data with no external software tools.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the file from the first device provides prescriptions, boundaries, and coverage data directly to a second device of the second machine and thus influences an agricultural operation including coverage of an application pass that is being performed with the second machine and the second implement.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the second device displays as-applied data of the second agricultural implement in-cab of the second machine alongside the as-applied data of the first agricultural implement.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:
performing the agricultural operation with the second agricultural implement on a second region of the field that is not operated on by the first agricultural implement.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 further comprising:
preventing the second agricultural implement from performing the agricultural operation on the first region of the field based on the file having the applied data, prescription data, and field boundary data.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first machine comprises a tractor that is towing the first agricultural implement for the agricultural operation.
9 . A system comprising:
sensors to collect as applied data for an agricultural operation of a first agricultural implement;
memory that is in-cab of a first machine to store files having as applied data and prescription data; and
one or more processors coupled to the sensors and the memory, the one or more processors is configured to store the as applied data into a file of the memory and to embed prescription data and field boundary data into the file of the memory that is in-cab of the first machine concurrently with the as applied data being collected and stored in the file.
10 . The system of claim 9 further comprising:
a network interface of the first machine to transfer the file having the as applied data, prescription data, and field boundary data to a second machine that is coupled with a second agricultural implement.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the prescription and boundary data is embedded directly into the file having as applied data with no external software tools.
12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the file from the memory of the first machine provides prescriptions, boundaries, and coverage data directly to the second machine and influences an agricultural operation including coverage of an application pass that is being performed with the second machine and the second implement.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the file from the first machine prevents the second agricultural implement from performing the agricultural operation on the first region of the field based on the file having the applied data, prescription data, and field boundary data.
14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the prescription data controls various parameters including seed population, down force, fluid application, multi-hybrid planting, and high speed planting on a per region basis of a field.
15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the first machine comprises a tractor that is towing the first agricultural implement for the agricultural operation.
16 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the memory and the one or more processors are located in the cab of the first machine.
