Case IH is launching SenseApply technology, an automated live variable-rate application and selective spraying solution. The company says its smart spraying technology is designed to maximize the output of every input.
SenseApply consists of a single cab-mounted camera system that offers multi-season uses.
“SenseApply offers unparalleled flexibility, with a range of application methods that were previously unavailable in a single solution,” says Leo Bose, application equipment customer segmentation lead at Case IH. “It is also a cost-effective solution with no annual subscriptions or per acre fees, driving efficiency and profitability for a grower.”
Multi-Application Uses Include:
- Selective apray
- Green-on-brown spot spray offers upgraded weed management
- Base + Boost applies a consistent base rate across the entire boom while boosting individual nozzle sections to a higher rate when passing over areas with higher weed pressure
- Live variable-rate application (VRA)
- Burndown VRA
- Nitrogen VRA
- Harvest aid VRA
- Plant growth regulator VRA
- Fungicide VRA
SenseApply technology includes lifetime live VRA use and a one-time activation fee for Selective Spray, eliminating both per acre fees and annual fees for the life of the device.
The technology is designed for simple and efficient application, at speeds of up to 25 mph, with the camera self-calibrating to the crop within the first 150 feet during live VRA. The SenseApply camera – which is mounted on top of the cab to maximize field of view – senses plant biomass and responds accordingly, depending on the application type the operator selects.
SenseApply integrates with Case IH FieldOps and Raven Slingshot, enabling operators to connect and manage application data through their preferred platform. Case IH says the integration enables real-time data analysis and decision-making capabilities.
