WINTERSTEIGER's pro-active corporate strategy is also demonstrated in its ability to identify and react to changes which will decide its success in the future. It is for this reason that we have formulated clear definitions of the objectives which all WINTERSTEIGER products must meet:
-
The longevity and ruggedness of the machines has been and will continue to be increased in the future as demand and usage increases
- Products must make a significant contribution towards reducing the working time and costs per plot. This is very important as economic rationalization processes will become even more dynamic
- The level of automation for standard operations will also increase in future
- Constant simplifications in operation also make exceptionally powerful machines even more user-friendly
Consistently looking ahead has meant that WINTERSTEIGER offers practical, meaningful future technologies and among other things demonstrates its technological lead with the following products:
 |
Mobile collection of all your harvest data. WINTERSTEIGER places an emphasis on future-oriented solutions in the field of mobile data collection. Only state of the art systems specially developed for agricultural research are used in our harvesting machines.
Automatic harvest data logging takes the following parameters into consideration (depending on the harvesting data system):
- Plot weight with maximum precision up to a slope of 10 % - Moisture content of harvested material - Volumetric weight - Material content by means of near field infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
Different sample taking systems allow to take sub samples for additional analysis. |

NIRS analysis. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has established itself in agricultural analysis over decades and has been the focus of both theoretical and practical ongoing development work. It can be assumed that the transition from the laboratory to field measurements and thence to online measurements performed directly on the harvester will continue to gain significance. The combines can be equipped with a NIRS analysis device for mobile moisture content and quality testing.

Grain loss display. Grain loss is measured by an acoustic grain loss sensor which is placed at the end of the sieve in the Delta plot combine. The measured grain loss is displayed in the cabin. If needed, the cleaning fan speed and the adjustable sieve angle can be set from the cabin.

Row units. In the area of precision spaced planting techniques, WINTERSTEIGER supplies seeding elements using the perforated and slotted disk principle. The seeding element using the perforated disk principle is suitable primarily for homogenous kernel sizes (TKW - thousand kernel weight) and weights as the appropriate seeding disk is selected according to the size of the seeds. The seeding element using the slotted disk principle guarantees maximum precision and also means no dependence on the size and weight of the kernels. It is also possible when using it to achieve speeds well in excess of 4 km/h without compromising precision.

GPS Technology. WINTERSTEIGER gives you the option of fitting state-of-art GPS technology to any planter. WINTERSTEIGER cooperates with experienced partners in this field. Together, we have developed a system that supports your field work easily and reliably.
