Raven Showcases New Ag Tech Advancements at Agrishow 2023

Raven DirecSteer: Simple, Silent and Powerful Electric Steering

DirecSteer is Raven’s latest retrofit automatic steering solution. The off-the-shelf aftermarket solution relieves stress by making autosteer simple, safe and silent — allowing drivers to focus on other important aspects of their operation. DirecSteer’s powerful electric drive packs high torque and silent operation into a cost-competitive, easy-to-install unit for all equipment brands. The aftermarket solution is scalable from sub-meter to sub-inch precision.

DirecSteer expands Raven’s guidance technology leadership and outstanding customer support, serving the tractor OEM market segments in addition to its existing customer base. Raven continues to be the steering solutions provider for OEMs, retailers, and growers around the world.

“With DirecSteer, customers have a more comfortable autosteer experience from purchase through installation to use,” said Frank Dorenkamp, Raven Business Director for Latin America and EMEA. “It’s a valuable addition to any cab.”

Raven + Augmenta: Integrating to Build Practical Sense & Act Solutions

Raven is also highlighting its recent integration with Augmenta by showcasing its innovative Sense & Act variable rate application concept for spraying and spreading applications. The solution uses a combination of artificial intelligence and camera vision to automatically control application rates and maximize nutrient effectiveness.

The solution’s simple single-sensor roof-mounted setup makes it easy for farmers to install and see instant savings. The Augmenta Sense & Act concept further enhances the benefits of autonomous farming, saving on input costs and reducing negative environmental impact while increasing yields. For example, integrating Augmenta’s perception capabilities with Raven’s industry-leading Hawkeye® 2 Nozzle Control system could minimize herbicide application with high precision, effectively controlling weeds without wasting inputs. The versatile Augmenta system can also be used for nitrogen, pre-harvest desiccant, defoliant, PGR and fungicide applications.

The Augmenta solution is a key integration for Raven as it develops a practical, value-driven solution to serve a growing Sense & Act market. Once fully integrated, the solution will be an easy-to-use, easy-to-install system for customers that will bring savings in all variable rate applications.

Attendees can visit Raven at Agrishow booth #A7a to see both the DirecSteer and the Sense & Act solutions from May 1 – 5, 2023.
