Keeping product flowing evenly through an air seeder is important during seeding, but traditional blockage systems often only tell operators when flow has completely stopped. At Agri-Trade in Red Deer, Alta., RealAgriculture spoke with Dustin Weinkauf of Precision Planting about Clarity, a flow and blockage monitoring system designed to give growers a more detailed look at what’s happening inside their air seeder so they can catch problems earlier and make informed decisions in the cab.
Weinkauf said that Clarity goes beyond standard red-light, green-light blockage monitoring by measuring actual product flow through each sensor and across the entire tool. “Clarity is our flow and blockage monitoring system for an air seeder… it’s just going to give us a lot more in depth look at what that tool is doing and help us make actionable decisions based on that,” he said.
The system uses what Precision Planting calls a magnitude number to measure total flow. By comparing those readings, operators can see how evenly product is moving and quickly identify rows that are receiving less material than others, Weinkauf said. That level of insight helps highlight issues that may not trigger a traditional blockage alarm, including restricted flow, bridging in a tank, or situations where one tank or meter is no longer delivering while others continue to run.
“If we lose that one tank or say one metre, what we’ll see is we’ll actually start to see this magnitude number degrade… an indication to us that, hey, we’re not getting the right amount of product,” Weinkauf says.
