A new wave of technology has once again made its way into Ag in Motion this year in Langham.

From drones to artificial intelligence to new pieces of farming equipment, the industry continues to change and evolve every day.

One of the innovations on display at Ag in Motion this year was from a company called AgVision HD cameras, which is based out of Nipawin.

According to co-owner Brad Reykdal, the company assigns a camera with an IP address to achieve the best image quality for producers while any piece of farm equipment is in operation for seeding and harvesting.

“The biggest application would be the air carts for seating and then also combines and grain carts for harvesting,” Reykdal said. “It allows the user to have increased visibility and for safety as well, so they can see all aspects of the seeding and harvesting.”

According to Reykdal, his camera system is a first-of-its-kind system on the market, allowing producers to see multiple live angles at a time while operating the machine.

It launched earlier this year.

Since launching the product at the start of the year, Reykdal said they’ve managed to sell products to 60 customers.

He said a lot of Ag in Motion visitors showed interest in the products.

“We’ve got customers going to some of their suppliers and saying, ‘Hey, you guys need to get these cameras.’ We’ve had great interest not only from OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) but from customers and potential dealers,” Reykdal explained.

“There’s nothing more you can ask for than people coming to you. When you don’t have to go knocking on doors and they’re coming to knock on your door, it makes things great.”

Reykdal feels the demand for this product in the field is big, and sees it growing substantially over the next number of years.

“Vision systems are going to grow from here. With the adoption of AI, we can see a lot of options for AI integration into our cameras and then also the potential for remote monitoring,” Reykdal said.

“So, say a producer has multiple camera systems and in the field, he can remotely sign in and view camera feeds from his office. That’s something we can see going to in the future.”

Visitors to Ag in Motion say it was a success

Over the last week, thousands of people visited the Ag in Motion grounds looking to check out everything it has to offer.

Tristan and Jenna Hauptsin were visiting the show from Weyburn for the first time and were impressed.

“We’ve been able to walk around and I think all the newest innovations are probably the coolest thing I’ve seen so far,” Tristan said.

“I’ve never been to the show, but taking it all in and learning lots,” Jenna said. “We were talking to some of the Aussie guys about some of their equipment they’ve got, which was intriguing – that’s my favourite part so far.”

Chris Love has attended the show multiple times in the past and was once again impressed by the setup.

“It’s always growing and seems to be a little bit better every year,” he said.

Love said he especially enjoyed the networking part of it.
