Patent Summary
A harvesting machine with an NIR sensor that enables real-time spectral analysis of plant material, enabling more accurate and comparable evaluation of crop composition over time. The machine's NIR sensor captures raw spectral data, which is then processed in real-time by an evaluation unit to derive critical plant parameters. This continuous spectral analysis enables dynamic monitoring of crop health and composition, allowing for more effective maintenance strategies and optimizing crop management practices.
