D1 Data Collection Unit

D1 Data Collection Unit from ALMACO has a modern design that provides accurate harvest yield data on the go and in real time, including test weight, shell weight, and moisture data. With exceptional durability and an intuitive user interface, D1 is the solution for accurate data and faster advancement decisions. Readily available parts and components protect your uptime and an upgrade from an LRX to a D1 is cost effective, requiring no change to your current weight system, load cell, or moisture blade.

D1 is a technology compatible with plot combines, seed processing lines, individual threshers, and can be used with both ALMACO ASP and APx packagers. Capture multi-crop harvest data your way. Whether it is corn, soybeans, wheat sorghum, canola, rice, sunflower, or more, capture accurate and precise plot harvest data all from a single solution.

Features

D1 Data Collection Unit from ALMACO
D1 Data Collection Unit Controller

Durable Design

No need to remove the data collection unit in poor weather, for transport, or to be stored overnight. The D1 Data Collection Unit is water resistant, rust resistant, dust resistant, and capable of operating at high temperatures up to 185⁰ F (85⁰ C) and low temperatures down to -40⁰ F (-40⁰ C).

Standardized Architecture

The D1 Data Collection Unit has no internal battery which requires less maintenance and removes any risk for losing curves due to power loss. The unit is compatible with electric and pneumatic actuators for added flexibility and is a simple replacement for other similar bucket systems.

Multi-crop Versatility

Capture multicrop harvest data your way, all from a single solution. The D1 Data Collection Unit can measure yield data for virtually all crop types including corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, canola, sunflowers, and more. No matter the crop, D1 measures with accuracy and precision.

Easy Integration and Leading Visibility

No extra display or additional unit controls! The D1 Data Collection Unit can be placed out of sight for improved operator visibility and safety. The unit is completely controlled from the existing Vantage HD combine software and installation is a simple process.

Versatile Equipment Compatibility

The D1 Data Collection Unit is a solution compatible with plot combines, seed processing lines, individual threshers, and other plot harvesting solutions. D1 can be also used with both ALMACO ASP and APx packagers, which is unique to the seed research industry.

New Modern User Interface

Intuitive to Use

The D1 interface is simple to use, easy to navigate, and includes built in diagnostics for greater uptime. With the intuitive design, use less time training staff and more time gathering data in the field.

Simple to Calibrate

ALMACO calibration is a simple process with easy calibration guides built into the system. Calibration supports any size moisture blade for client accuracy specifications—including large moisture blades for the high data precision.

Dependable Access to Curves

Moisture and weight curves are stored in the Vantage HD software and not the D1 control box. No need to switch units between combines; simply use the Vantage HD in a combine, or transfer curves between them.
