Precision Farming / Raven Products
Raven Products
Recently, CNH Industrial completed its acquisition of Raven Industries Inc, which is a global leader in precision agriculture technology. We believe this purchase will provide immense value to our Case IH customers. Raven has many autonomous products that will be fully integrated into newer units beginning in 2023. We are excited for the opportunity to provide Raven solutions for your precision farming needs.
Raven Slingshot®
Slingshot captures and stores all your application and agronomic data and uses over-the-cloud file transfer with 4450 Patriot sprayers. Easily access information from current and previous jobs to make better, more lucrative operational decisions for future jobs. Arrange your jobs ahead of time and stay connected to your sprayer remotely via the Field Ops mobile app. Your slingshot account is compatible with AFS Connect to automatically transfer all your sprayer data.
Viper 4+ Display
Viper 4+ is the go-to in-cab display, giving ag retailers and custom applicators the ultimate data management experience powered by Raven Operating Software. Tailored for professional applicators, Viper 4+ integrates Raven's full line of products into one networked platform with an intuitive, tablet-style interface. This comes factory installed in the new 4450 Patriot sprayers.
Viper 4+ AutoTurn
Case IH application products equipped with RS1 autoguidance will be able to utilize Raven's AutoTurn automatic headland turn feature.
- Viper 4+ automatically maps a turn path based on a field boundary and user settings (pink guidance line)
- Operator can choose to skip swaths, add headland swaths, or add a field buffer
- Operator sets the desired turn speed, and it is up to the operator to control the sprayer to that speed during the turn
- Viper 4+ widget shows the next turn direction, the distance to the start of the turn, and the speed status
- Viper 4+ assumes turn direction will alternate, but the operator can use the widget to override the direction if necessary
RS1
RS1 is a high-powered guidance and connectivity system that combines these three functionalities into on intuitive, easy to use unit: Autosteer, GNSS and RTK, Slingshot Connectivity. Features include:
- Faster coverage with better accuracy
- Easy to transfer from machine to machine
- Pre-set profiles automatically transfer between machines
- No reprogramming when switching out the unit
- Remote performance monitoring and support through Slingshot
VSN
The VSN guidance camera utilizes optical sensors to keep the sprayer centered between rows. VSN automatically takes care of steering, reducing operator fatigue and allowing them to cover more acres a day by driving damage-free at speeds up to 20 mph.
Rate Control Module (RCM)
The most precise application controller on the market, RCM leads in efficiency and fits a variety of applications for all phases of your operation. It can control up to five products in one ECU for both liquid and dry applications.
Hawkeye
Hawkeye Nozzle Control takes sprayer efficiency to a new level with ultimate flow control, accuracy, and field durability. The system features individual on/off nozzle control valves that operate with extreme accuracy and can self-adjust to turn, contours, and headlands to avoid over- and under-spray. You'll use fewer chemicals, cover crops with exact amounts, travel at faster speeds, and make fewer tip changes — all while improving coverage quality and minimizing input costs. Features include:
- Sprays within +/- 5% of target rate at all times.
- 250% more accurate than competitors.
- Reduced drift/increased application quality.
- Even spraying during acceleration and turn compensation.
- Supports up to 192 individually controlled nozzles.
- Operating pressure from 10 – 120 psi.
- Advanced blockage detection (go/no-go).
- Unparalleled durability.
- IP69K rated, making it easy to clean via power washing.
