Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to cloud-based counting solution for stationary round bale wrapper to track sealing and cutting operations in agriculture fields with mobile app integration.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The innovative stationary round bale wrapper solution uses cloud-based mobile app capabilities and IoT technology to seamlessly alter agricultural processes. The system accurately records and monitors cutting and sealing processes in real-time by utilizing cutting-edge sensors and communication modules. This enhances operational effectiveness while providing remote access to critical data through a customized mobile application.
The effective management and control of cutting and sealing processes for stationary round bale wrappers is a substantial challenge to the agriculture sector. Traditional methods do not have the required tracking precision and real-time capability to improve operational efficiency. Lack of transparency brought about by the absence of an integrated solution makes it challenging for farmers and operators to precisely count and keep track of the processing of bales in the field.
US20180279559A1: A wrapping arrangement for an agricultural round baler includes a support frame and a wrapping mechanism including at least one wrap material feeding means mounted on the support frame. The at least one wrap material feeding means includes a supply of wrap material. At least one wrap material clamp and cutting device is operably mounted to the at least one wrap material feeding means, and a clamp mechanism is mounted proximate to the at least one wrap material clamp and cutting device. The clamp mechanism is adapted to clamp a free end of the wrap material by a biasing clamping force for pre-positioning the wrap material for functional operation with the wrapping mechanism.
RESEARCH GAP: Wireless Counter with IoT and Cloud integration for Stationary Round Bale Wrapper is the novelty of the system.
US9237691B2: A combined baler/bale wrapper comprises a chassis on which a baler and a bale wrapper are mounted. The baler comprises a stationary segment, a lower segment and an upper segment which together define a bale forming chamber within which a round bale is formed. The lower segment and the upper segment are pivotal from a bale forming position to a discharge position for transferring a bale of the bale forming chamber onto bale supporting rollers of the bale wrapper. The bale supporting rollers rotate the bale about a first wrapping axis while a carrier ring simultaneously revolves a pair of wrapping material dispensers about a second wrapping axis for dispensing wrapping material onto the bale.

The TCSRBWTSCMote integrates cutting-edge IoT and cloud-based mobile app technologies to improve agricultural operations' efficiency, transparency, and decision-making. This device tracks sealing and cutting activities in agricultural fields efficiently by using cutting-edge electronic components. The TI MSP430 MCU Board, which acts as the system's central processing unit and coordinating mechanism, is essential to its operation. To guarantee smooth operation, the MCU communicates with other essential components. The counting solution and a cloud-based server can communicate thanks to the ESP01 WiFi Board's IoT connectivity. Real-time data is sent to the cloud via a Wi-Fi connection, enabling remote monitoring and analysis. In order to integrate the solution with a personalized mobile app and create a link between agricultural machinery and the digital interface, connectivity is necessary.
The precise counting method is facilitated by the combined efforts of the Relay Module, Proximity Sensor, and Feedback Sensor. Every sealing and cutting operation is recognized and registered by the Relay Module, which acts as a switch. Bales are detected by the Proximity Sensor, which alerts the system to begin counting. Concurrently, the Feedback Sensor verifies that the action was carried out successfully, adding even more validation to the count. For convenient on-site operator monitoring, an LED indicator visually displays the system's status. Furthermore, a power supply system guarantees the TCSRBWTSCMote's continued operation. The dependability, effectiveness, and real-time data provision of the counting solution are guaranteed by this integrated configuration. Through a unique mobile app interface, this data is available, providing operators and authorized persons with an easy-to-use dashboard for remote agricultural process monitoring and management.
