AI-driven assistance simplifies the adjustment of sorter settings, boosting efficiency. Meanwhile, a new operating system is exclusively compatible with the CropVision Plus range, featuring an intuitive interface designed for easy operation akin to smartphone usage, while the launch of the MyCropVision App offers an intuitive customer application accessible across all devices.
Key features of the MyCropVision app include centralized access to comprehensive information about the CropVision Plus sorter, real-time supervision with remote status updates, personalized alerts, and real-time incident notifications.
