John Deere recently added John Deere SmartDetect to its lineup of technology solutions for select utility-class and production-class wheel loaders. This innovative system improves jobsite safety by boosting operator visibility through cameras, radar, and object detection systems powered by machine learning.
Building on John Deere's advanced object detection and vision technologies, SmartDetect is designed to provide greater situational awareness, helping operators make more informed decisions in dynamic construction environments.
Improving Jobsite Safety with SmartDetect
John Deere SmartDetect is built to enhance safety and visibility for operators working in busy construction environments. By using integrated digital cameras and a high-resolution rearview monitor, the system provides a clearer, more detailed view of the surrounding area. SmartDetect's stereo camera, mounted at the rear of the machine, adds depth perception. Powered by machine learning, the camera also has the ability to classify objects, such as people or equipment, and visually mark them on the operator's monitor according to type.
When an object enters the machine's path, the system triggers alerts, helping operators make more informed decisions. This technology provides critical information and offers an extra layer of protection for both the operator and those on-site.
Maximizing Precision for Operators
Operators face long hours on demanding jobsites, which can lead to reduced situational awareness. The John Deere SmartDetect system helps alleviate this challenge by giving operators real-time visual cues through bounding boxes, highlighting potential obstacles in their surroundings. Whether it's a moving person, stationary pole, or another piece of equipment, SmartDetect helps operators maintain confidence and productivity throughout the day.
Upgrade Your Loader with Advanced Safety Technology
The SmartDetect system is compatible with select John Deere utility-class and production-class loaders equipped with the Advanced Vision System. These machines already feature industry-leading detection technology, and the addition of the SmartDetect Field Kit further enhances safety and operational efficiency, providing operators with the confidence they need to get the job done.
