Automated baling press optimises production

Challenge

Automatic baler for higher yield

CNH Industrial, manufacturer of New Holland agricultural machinery, developed the New Holland Baler Automation System in collaboration with Flanders Make. This innovation allows the driver to set the desired bale weight, after which the system predicts this during operation and automatically adjusts accordingly.

Technologies

Maximum capacity, minimum waste

An algorithm and automatic guidance ensure even filling of the baling chamber, utilising maximum capacity without exceeding it. This results in more bales per day, even in changing conditions. It also makes the operator's job easier, requiring less training to use the baler.

Situational and self-awareness technologies

To identify, interrogate, and evaluate both environmental conditions and system states.

Result

More sustainable and user-friendly

The system reduces fuel consumption, prevents overloading and eliminates the need for manual unblocking. With this, CNH Industrial is taking an important step towards fully automated agriculture.
