FireFly Equipment presented its new ProSlab 155 turf harvesting machine, developed using LabVIEW RIO architecture, at NIWeek 2015.
The Challenge:
Delivering a high-performance, automated turf harvester that reliably and efficiently palletizes turf in a variety of farming conditions while increasing farm productivity, reducing machine operating costs, and providing a secure Internet gateway to remotely monitor and control the turf harvester.
The Solution:
Using LabVIEW software and CompactRIO hardware to design the ProSlab 155, a smart machine harvests turf 20 percent faster, and uses half the diesel fuel than other turf harvesting machines on the market.
