Crop Optimization and loss report

Crop Loss Report

Feedback from the Shear Control System can be used by the Vision System to compare the ideal, optimum cut point with the actual cut point as reported by the Shear. These values can be used to calculate the ideal weight of the Cropped Head or Tail and the actual weight. All of the calculations can be organized and displayed on Crop Loss Report.

Designed and developed in collaboration with

Generate the optimum position 
for shearing head and tail

Crop Optimization Software uses the Head/Tail image from the Vision System, and inputs from the Mill, to generate the optimum position for shearing the Head or Tail. Mill inputs include a combination of parameters from Level 2 and Mill Operator’s (if desired). This information can then be provided to a Shear Control System (SCS) for operating the Shear. A screenshot of the Operator’s Screen from the Crop Optimization application is shown below. The “optimized cut lines” are illustrated by the black lines bisecting the Head and Tail images. Various setup and cut-criteria parameters are shown to the right of the images
