ROS Features

Raven Operating System (ROS) is designed to assist with managing multiple operators, various implements, a constantly growing and changing list of agricultural products, and various field operations throughout the growing season.

• Multiple user profiles allow the system administrator to set up multiple operators. Each user profile may configure various user preferences to ensure that the operator is comfortable using the system.

• Machine configurations allow the system user to configure ROS for multiple tractor and implement types. As the ROS device is moved from implement to implement, the device will detect the machine configuration for the equipment with which the device is currently running to simplify operation preparation.

• Preconfigured product and job profiles allow the system user to set up operation or application details which allow the equipment operator to quickly select preconfigured settings for the product loaded and the job or operation to perform and begin field work without setting up the system.

The system administrator may view and use the above information from the job report to make administrative decisions required with as much information as needed for the specific operation.

ROS features widget based screens for field operation and guidance. Select from various widgets to customize the information displayed on the screen during field operations and may customize the widget layout to keep important operation information or operation tools available at a glance. Save each screen profile to quickly recall and view additional information as necessary or as different tasks become more critical for the field operation.

Note:  Refer to ROS In-Job Widgets or Create a Screen Layout for additional information about widgets or saving using screen profiles.

During field operations, ROS provides either a two or three dimensional view of the equipment location within the field area. ROS also utilizes the configured equipment geometry to provide a swath guidance line on the ROS display to assist the operator and keep the equipment on track during the field operation.

Note:  This guidance path may also be used by automated steering systems such as Raven SmarTrax to automatically steer the equipment onto the displayed swath guidance line, to help reduce operator fatigue and allow the operator to monitor input or application systems.

During field operations, ROS monitors and tracks the vehicle location and records input or application systems. As active sections or the working equipment width covers field area, ROS creates a live map of previous equipment coverage. When the job is complete, ROS compiles the location and any population, rate, or yield information into a report file for transfer to a home or office PC. The reports may be edited and used for customer billing, tracking product input for government purposes, or to help plan future crop inputs and field operations.

Job reports must be transferred to a Slingshot® user account via either a Slingshot®Field Hub or a USB flash drive. The Slingshot® web service is free and does not require any hardware or monthly subscriptions to utilize the reporting features of the web site. With an Internet connection, files may be transferred to the equipment cab from a home or office PC and completed job reports may be transferred from the cabin to the home or office via the wireless network.

Visit the Slingshot® web site for more information or to locate a local Slingshot® dealer for additional assistance with available Slingshot® services.

Machine Configurations allow the system administrator to configure multiple machine profiles. As the ROS device is moved from implement to implement, the device will automatically detect the machine configuration for the implement on which the device is currently running to simplify set up and preparations for field operations.

Note:  Refer to ROS Machine Configuration Panel Overview for additional information about machine configurations.

Preconfigured product configurations and job profiles allow the system administrator to set up product and job information and allow the operator to quickly select the product loaded and the job or operation to perform to begin field work.

The system administrator may view and use the above information from the job report to make administrative decisions required with as much information as needed for the specific operation.

Note:  Refer to ROS Product Configuration Panel and ROS Job Profile Panel for additional information on product configurations and job profiles.

Multiple user profiles allow the system administrator to set up unique Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) to secure the application system from unauthorized use. As well as secure access, each user profile may configure various user preferences such as language and display units to ensure that each operator is comfortable operating the system.

ROS devices are capable of interfacing with many ISOBUS control systems via the universal terminal capabilities. This feature allows the operator to monitor or control various aspects of the vehicle or implement over an ISOBUS network via the ROS device display without the need for additional displays or control consoles in the vehicle cabin.

The ISO Section Control activation key allows AccuBoom™ to control implement sections that is connected to the task controller A software feature of an ISOBUS network which automates a system or logs data from various field operations. Capabilities of a task controller vary, but may offer some simple control features such as automatic section control or more complex features for prescription rate control, etc..
