A tool used to measure and asses the spray coverage on leaves and other surfaces.
The SQUAD (Spray Quality Assessment Dome) is a measurement tool for spray coverage determination, whereby the leaves themselves are examined. Based on aRGB vision system, the white spots of kaolin deposition are detected and the coverage grade on the leaf will be calculated.
This measurement tool can be used as an impulse to further investigate the average and standard deviation of the coverage image of the leaf, as two parameters to optimise the process capability are indices of the pesticide application.
The SQUAD can also be used with WSP (Water Sensitive Paper) and with adapted LEDs, it can be used as well to evaluate the spray coverage with fluorescent dyes.
In the near future, the tool will be further developed to be able to analyse spray coverage on 3D objects as grapes or other small fruits. The pictures taken with the SQUAD can be analysed with a dedicated software on a PC. The pictures are transferred on a USB stick to the system, that generates homogeneity images and accompanying histograms to statistically evaluate the quality of the sprayed leaf’s image more intensively.
The AAMS SQUAD can be used to evaluate different sprayer settings or for example to characterise and compare the operator’s handling of small sprayers in GEP/GLP systems.
AAMS is a company that specialises in testing equipment for Agricultural machines and components, mainly for sprayers.
We have a very wide range of standard test equipment, but sometimes the standard equipment is just not suitable for the job you need to get done.
For those specific requirements, AAMS also offers you a special service to develop customized test equipment suitable for your specific application.
Because of our years of experience and many finished projects throughout those years, we are the partner that you need for the development and realization of test equipment that is perfect for your individual needs.
We will involve the customer as much as possible, from the first drafts all the way until the installation, so that together we can achieve the best possible result.
