In Zhoukou, Henan Province, Lao Li runs an agricultural machinery cooperative with six harvesters.
Before the three summer seasons every year, apart from maintaining the machines and arranging cross-regional operation routes, there is one more thing that worries him particularly - finding the operators. Experienced master craftsmen are getting harder and harder to recruit, and the cost is also getting higher and higher. Although young operators can get up to speed quickly, when facing different plots, different yields and different crops, they often lack experience in parameter adjustment, and the loss rate and operation quality are prone to fluctuations. Such situations are not uncommon in areas with large-scale agriculture: there is a shortage of excellent operators, labor costs continue to rise, and the difficulty of standardizing operations is increasing. As a result, a new standard for purchasing machines is emerging: A good machine should not only have strong performance but also enable ordinary operators to consistently perform at the level of experienced workers.
The intelligent operation system of EVION 580 is not designed to make the machine more complex, but to enable ordinary operators to stably achieve operation results close to those of experienced masters.
1. 4-channel high-definition camera system
The 10.1-inch CEMIS 700 touch screen in the cab displays the front, side, and grain box views in real time. The operator doesn't need to frequently turn their head to check the status of the header and the grain box. They can focus on driving and making judgments, reducing fatigue.
2. Automatically monitor logistics
The system tracks the feeding volume in real time and gives early warnings before blockages occur. The operator can adjust the speed or the height of the header in a timely manner to avoid stopping the machine for cleaning, which is particularly useful when turning at the edge of the field or when the crop density changes.
3. 3D cleaning system
On a transverse slope, the cleaning loss rate will change due to the slope. The 3D cleaning system will automatically compensate, allowing the operator not to repeatedly adjust the fan by feeling. For longitudinal sloping land, it is handed over to AUTO SLOPE, and the fan speed is automatically adjusted according to the slope.
4. Operation loss detection
By conducting real-time monitoring of separation and cleaning losses during the harvesting process, the system can dynamically prompt the trend of loss changes, helping users adjust key operation parameters in a timely manner. Under different soil conditions and crop conditions, it can effectively reduce harvesting losses and increase overall operation profits.
5. QUANTIMETER yield and moisture content monitoring
The yield and grain moisture content of each plot are displayed in real time. Old Li no longer needs to rely on experience to estimate which plots of land to harvest first and which to dry later. Data directly helps him arrange the drying and storage sequence.
6. AUTO PILOT Corn header automatic row alignment
When corn is harvested, inaccurate alignment of the header will increase wear and tear, cause ear drop and deviation. The AUTO PILOT automatic line alignment function enables the operator to maintain straight-line operation for a long time and reduces manual correction.
7. Preset parameters for crop harvesting
For different crops, key operation parameters are preset. Users only need to select the corresponding crop type, and core parameters such as threshing, cleaning, air volume, and screening plates will be automatically matched, significantly reducing the difficulty of debugging and enabling ordinary operators to quickly enter the best operation state.
8. Autonomous Driving (Optional)
Straight-line driving accuracy is higher, and it is more stable during night operations and long ground operations. This can significantly reduce the operational intensity for cross-regional operators who work at high intensity for long periods of time.
Intelligence does not replace humans; it is about standardizing operations
The intelligent system of EVION 580 is not for showing off skills, but to transform the experience of the master into stable actions that the machine can perform. For cooperatives and operation teams, this means that the training period for ordinary operators is shorter, the fluctuation in operation quality is smaller, and the pressure of employing people during peak seasons is also lighter.
During the busy farming season when people are getting harder and harder to find, it is a more practical choice to let machines take on more responsibilities.
