Active Fill Control

Active Fill Control uses a camera with 3D capability to automatically detect the crop transport truck or trailer and fill it evenly and without spillage. As the camera detects a truck, it automatically begins tracking with the spout. Then it controls the rotation and cap position of the spout until the truck is filled. Select from 4 fill strategies to suit your work style or crop removal vehicle, reduce operator fatigue and increase the efficiency of your forage production.
