Repair Shop Digitization

When refurbishing or repairing used machines, you often end up looking in catalogues to find the parts you need. With our „Werkstatt-App“ / „Garage-App“ this becomes a no-brainer. No more paper work and switching between catalogues and computers.

You can enter your machines serial number and we fetch the machines detailed configuration so that you can find exactly the article numbers you need and even submit a purchase order right into the web shop.

Appraisal App for Used Machinery

Buying old machinery back is cumbersome – incomplete records, areas of the machine that remained unseen, paperwork that needs to be fed into the system…

Our client BOMAG requested us to solve this problem by creation an Inspection app, where machine trade-ins undergo a standardized process and the key aspects of each specific machine type receive the attention they need.

The inspection app can easily be adjusted to cater for other machine types and is competitive edge over other solutions on the market is accomplished by getting rid of simple forms but understanding the uniqueness of each machine type.

Special features such as a damage map, 360° view or quick check options, make trading-in easy and standardized.

Instant Offer Generation for New Machines

In the agricultural industry, getting an offer for a new tractor or harvester is tough. You have to call your sales rep and dealer, you will have to negotiate discounts and eventually the configuration you received is not technically viable or suitable to your soil conditions etc.

At schmiede.one we strive to create user-friendly digital customer experiences that can generate product quotations for complex offers instantaneously. Clients can receive an offer for their machine on the fly, any day, any time.

Our clients also prefer to handle incoming orders and price list outside spreadsheet calculators, so our configurator can be hooked up to such an environment or to your existing erp system.

Varying degrees of consultation functions can also cater to different target groups and dealer integration is a no-brainer for us.

Machine Learning Vision for Harvesters

To make our harvesting robot „see“ and „perceive“ the real world, we experimented with various kind of sensors ranging from LIDARs, Radards and Stereo Cameras. We eventually settled for the latter considering the dense data such devices provide compared to the rather sparse information coming from affordable LIDARS. The cost aspect has been stressed from the beginning in our project, since the best technology will not help much on the market, if the price tag renders it too expensive for our target group.

Moving on with the right choice of sensors, we annoted thousands of images on potato hills, during different seasons of the year and hooked this up to our semantic segmentation network.

Here we predict a path and feed the information to our path planner and control software.

Sweet Potato Harvesting Robot

Our Self-propelled harvester celebrates it debut at Agritechnica in Hannover !

At this year’s Agritechnica, Schmiede.one, the innovation laboratory of the Grimme Group, presents a compact self-propelled harvesting machine, which can optionally be extended to an autonomous robot.
Harvey.one is our first step towards autonomous robotics and can be used as a multifunctional equipment carrier. Our first application for Harvey.one was the root crop harvest, especially the sweet potato.
The idea was born when we were dealing a lot with sweet potatoes as cultivated vegetables in the German market and exchanged ideas with farmers from our region. Due to the complex and manual harvesting process, we have been working on our machine since the beginning of the year. For the purpose of targeted communication with our users, the farmlab.one website was set up, with which we constantly report on the progress of the project.
During the development of the machine we received support from the Grimme Group to combine proven technology with innovative software solutions. In the software area we use sensors for device location (GPS/RTK), field navigation (IMA/Xaver) and object recognition (3D camera technology) and thus take the first steps towards an autonomous navigating machine. At Harvey.one we rely on a tried and tested Grimme camera with gentle, rubberized sieve belts and hydraulic drive to guarantee gentle product handling.
It is our aim to offer a solution for smaller, agricultural enterprises with our product, which are not sufficiently served with currently available technology. Variety and smaller parcels resulted in a low degree of mechanization and a high degree of manual work.
Sweet potatoes represent an exotic vegetable that is new to German cultivation and is often grown on small areas. Accordingly, there is currently no suitable technology on the market that would allow mechanisation here as well. We want to offer our technology not only for direct sale, but also as a service for the farmer. The aim is to make it easier for farmers to enter new vegetable varieties through low investment costs.
At Agritechnica we look forward to meeting farmers and receiving feedback from visitors. In addition to machine presentations, we will also be happy to exchange general information about sweet potatoes and give tips on cultivation and marketing.
