Lemken Prepares Karat Cultivator for Autonomous Operation
Lemken is developing a "smart implement" version of the Karat cultivator, designed to work behind an autonomous tractor or field robot.
Under its iQblue label, this development aims for the Karat cultivator to operate effectively without driver supervision, leveraging technology to monitor its operation and the quality of work, and to intervene automatically if issues arise.
The integration of sensors and cameras into implements like the Karat cultivator is part of a broader trend among manufacturers, such as Amazone, which has tested prototype Cenio cultivators equipped with its AutoTill system.
Autonomous field operations only make sense if implements and machines are capable of delivering the correct performance without driver supervision.
- Lemken's development includes the Karat cultivator working behind its VTE 3.0 field robot.
- Amazone has tested three prototype Cenio cultivators with the AutoTill system, one of which was trialled in the Netherlands.
Author's summary: Lemken develops autonomous Karat cultivator.
