Mach launches the next generation of Mach Nexus, autonomous technology for smart implements. This device now offers onboard data processing directly on the implement, thus enhancing machine functionality.
Mach uses the phrase ‘Smart Implement’ to refer to implements that can sense their environment and automatically adjust settings for ground conditions in real time. These adjustments are made with no operator intervention so that the implement avoids any obstacle in its path, such as trees, animals, or humans.
To be autonomy-ready, implements must also be equipped with advanced ISOBus controls, a functionally safe system; machine-to-cloud communications; machine-to-machine communications; sense and control software infrastructure; extensible sensor interfacing; and signal processing. Mach offers a wide range of dynamic solutions for these Smart machines.
Mach Nexus redefines off-road connectivity for Smart implements by integrating WiFi, and LTE to provide faster mobile internet access, and a 900mHz radio protocol for robust signal transmission, within its single design.
“Mach Nexus enables expanding in-field communication with all three mediums,” explains Colin Hurd, CEO of Mach.
Mach Nexus allows for added sensors and components, and is compatible with machinery such as tractors, ISOBus implements, loaders, skid steers, sprayers, and more.
