Auger wagon ticket system
At Weiland Farms, accurate record-keeping is paramount. Take the automated ticketing system for the auger wagon we helped develop. We clearly identified the challenge our partner wanted to overcome and worked closely with them to develop a technical solution that not only eliminates human error but also speeds up procedures and ensures precise record-keeping. This real-time data accuracy gives us immediate insights into operations.
Early maturity conversations with international ag manufacturer
Our multidisciplinary team, armed with agricultural experience spanning multiple continents, is skilled at addressing early maturity and idea development. An international agricultural manufacturer looking to gauge whether its current product line aligns with the demands of the Corn Belt recently turned to Weiland Farms. In a 90-minute session, we presented multi-angled arguments both in favor of and against various product advancements, saving the company from potentially expensive and time-consuming missteps.
Remote tire pressure sensing
Sometimes solutions created for one sector can solve problems in another. To demonstrate this, we partnered with a company with established technology in remote tire pressure sensing for fleets that wanted to explore its viability in agriculture. Our team recognized the value instantly — we’ve felt the financial burden of prematurely worn-out tires that a remote sensor could have helped prevent. In addressing this challenge, we were able to highlight unique technical challenges specific to our sector and suggest potential workarounds.
