Consortium wins AGRITECHNICA 2022 Innovation Award for self-driving tractors using SIS REMOTE, DLG awards silver medal to MDB, VOGT, REICHHARDT and HBC-radiomatic.
The consortium won the silver medal for the AGRITECHNICA 2022 Innovation Award. The consortium of companies has developed a system for radio control of autonomous agricultural machinery. The Safety-Intelligence-System SIS REMOTE consists of a functionally safe HBC radio control system and tablet-based ISOBUS automation, including REICHHARDT’s automatic guidance system. SIS REMOTE was first commercially developed with MDB’s LV 600 Plus Green Climber machine in close cooperation with VOGT.
The innovation enables safe and efficient operation of autonomous vehicles in agriculture, levees and highways, field management and other public areas. Using GPS as a guide, it is ideal for repetitive tasks such as grass cutting along roads, golf courses, business and solar farms. Tracks can be programmed into the system manually or with a PC and saved in memory for repeat operation in the future.
Mario Di Biase, founder of MDB Srl says “This joint project demonstrates best-in-class leadership in the evolution of the radio-controlled tractor industry. In the first evolution of this sector, we removed the operator from the machine to ensure safety and reduce physical stress. In this second evolution, we are achieving a reduction in operator workloads for repetitive tasks through autonomous driving.
