Autonomy in Agriculture – where does the AEF fit? – AEF Meetings in Milwaukee

Autonomy in Agriculture Day, the AEF and AEM Ag Technology Leadership Group examine how to collaborate and take on the challenges of autonomous machine to machine interoperability. A packed agenda saw several potential collaborations explored. The Team Leaders discussed activities that the AEF should support to take on the challenges of a multi branded autonomous system. How can AEF ensure that machine to machine communication will be safe, secure and have defined liability?




AEF at ASABE Annual International Meeting (AIM)

After two years of virtual events, the ASABE’s Annual International Meeting returned to an “in person” event which took place from the 17th to the 20th of July in (a very humid) Houston, Texas. Alfred Kornes, Communication and Marketing Team Leader and Andrew Olliver, AEF Vice Chairman were in attendance and jointly delivered a presentation during one of the morning sessions on the 18th of July which provided the audience with an overview of the latest activities of some of the AEF Projects.




AEF Taskdata Validator

Operators working with the TaskController in the field sometimes have issues while importing ISO-XML taskdata in different terminals. This could be for several reasons: One of the most common issues is the wrong folder structure on the USB stick. Some terminal suppliers are strict with the folder structure, which means that the TASKDATA.XML cannot be found. Another reason could be the wrong file naming. It’s important that the task data is named “TASKDATA.XML” by using capital letters.




Team Lead Positions Changed

AEF is pleased to announce that Ryan Milligan has been approved as AEF Team Lead Deputy of the Communications and Marketing Team (C&M) and happy to announce that Benjamin Neermann is the new AEF Team Lead Deputy of the Tractor Implement Management Team (TIM).
