The new Bale Manager App is a convenient way for customers to save, search and share their baling data from New Holland’s Roll-Belt Series balers. The system converts data from the baler to an app via Bluetooth® connection. The app is available to download on Apple App Store or Google Play and allows customers to use mobile devices or tablets to record and share data from their balers.
New Holland customers will benefit by having an easy way to track baling activity, analyze bale data, and easily send professional invoices to their customers all from a cell phone or tablet in a few seconds.
Features
- The baler controller monitors and records operational data such as bale count, bale size or bale moisture reading as part of the normal baler operation.
- This data is continuously transmitted from the baler controller to the baler monitor during operation.
- The Bluetooth module plugs into the baler harness and extracts this data from the baler controller and transmits it wirelessly to a mobile device with the Bale Manager App downloaded.
- The baling data is stored in the App and can be searched and reviewed at any time simply by opening the App on the mobile device.
- The App does not need to be connected to the baler via the wireless interface in order to review or transfer baling data; it can be done anytime and anywhere from the convenience of the mobile device.
- The Bale Command™ II PLUS monitor continues to function as the display and input device for the baler.
- All baler settings are changed using the monitor keypad.
- Any settings that are displayed on the App Job screens are direct inputs from the monitor settings.
