Together with the Lower Austrian start-up PAS Peschak Autonomous Systems, Lindner has now developed a special innovation for wine-growing professionals: the TracLink Pilot Laser powered by PAS. "The laser scans the rows, the tractor automatically holds the track. The driver can concentrate totally on the implements in the vineyard and doesn’t have to steer, "explains Marketing Manager David Lindner. "In addition, the speed of use increase. The rows don’t need to be measured in advance, you also do not need GPS data."
Requirement for using the new system: The Lintrac should be equipped with the "TracLink Pilot ready" package. The TracLink pilot becomes the technical basis for autonomous driving.
A front laser scans fully automatically the rows, detects the end of the series and also any barriers. The driver does not have to steer anymore. The system works GPS independent, increasing the speed of use.
A big advantage of the Lintrac with TracLink Pilot Laser is its simple operating, emphasizes technology director Stefan Lindner. "The system has three modes: right, left or center. That depends on the equipment which is used actually." The work in viticulture is also simplified by the turning function at the end of the series. The steering system accesses the 4-wheel steering. Another advantage: The front laser system is tolerant against dirt and also works in case of vegetation.
