Solutions for Agriculture Research

 

Our HarvestMaster product line and service are focused to meet the unique needs of agriculture researchers. These products provide full solutions that are easy to use and backed by excellent customer service by our team of technology experts.

HarvestMaster Plot Harvest Data Systems

HarvestMaster Plot Harvest Data Systems are on-combine systems that collect plot weight, test weight, and percent moisture. Grains harvested include corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, barley, sorghum, sunflower, rice, and beans. Agriculture researchers in seed trade and plant breeding rely on the HarvestMaster system to improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of data collection during their research trials. The patented HarvestMaster weighing system is available in Twin High Capacity, Single High Capacity, and Classic GrainGages. Systems with regular buckets and forage plot harvesting are also available.

The HarvestMaster Field Research Software

The HarvestMaster Field Research Software (FRS) is a comprehensive, Windows based solution for field data collection on experimental trials. FRS solutions include:

FRS Field Layout

FRS Field Layout - Use FRS Field Layout on a GPS enabled Windows Mobile device to establish field boundaries for your experimental trials. You can set the corners of the field, determine the number of plots within the field, and check that the field is square for planting without anyone’s help.

FRS Mobile

FRS Mobile - FRS Mobile simplifies your workflow process for field plot observations.

Replace traditional data collection methods that depend on vulnerable paper notebooks and costly data transcription. Using FRS Mobile, you can accomplish your work faster with greater accuracy, plus its fun! Designed specifically for the researcher doing grid plot observations, FRS Mobile is simple to use, saves time and improves productivity in the field and office. FRS Mobile is designed to run on Windows Mobile devices such as the rugged Archer or Allegro MX.

FRS 2.1 Note Taking and Harvest

FRS 2.1 Note Taking and Harvest - FRS Note Taking with optional Harvest Modules is for plant breeders doing seed research trials using plot harvest data systems. FRS Note Taking is used to collect observations on field research plots, nurseries, greenhouses, and other applications with a plot grid layout. FRS is designed for the ultra-rugged Allegro MX or Allegro CX Field PC.

FRS Harvest

FRS Harvest is an add-on module to FRS Note Taking 2.1. FRS Harvest manages the plot harvest data collection process in conjunction with the HarvestMaster GrainGages. FRS Harvest works with Classic, Single High Capacity and Twin High Capacity GrainGages. During the plot harvest process, FRS allows you to bring field map identifiers from your research management programs into FRS. During harvest, run FRS on the Allegro to record grain moisture and weight for each plot according to the selected navigation pattern.

FRS DataLink - DataLink
FRS DataLink - DataLink manages the interface between your research management software and data collection process in the field. DataLink is a PC based utility that manages the FRS database and provides easy interface to research management software. It is included with the FRS Mobile or FRS Note Taking packages. Use DataLink to:

  • Import CSV file from research management software into FRS database
  • Send FRS database to the mobile device
  • Receive FRS database after data collection from the mobile device
  • Export CSV file for use with research management software
  • Backup and restore your FRS database
FRS Laptop

FRS Laptop - FRS Laptop is designed for use with a laptop or PC computer running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating system. FRS Laptop offers the same functionality as FRS Note Taking with Harvest Modules on a computer with a full screen. The full screen displays multiple data views on one screen. You can easily keep track of field map location via the spatial view window while entering data on the data collection list screen.
