Tasks & Runs

Introduction to Tasks & Runs in Kilter Farm (under development)

Tasks and Runs

Tasks & runs will be released later this year and represents a substantial change in machine operation and reporting. 

For returning customers looking for file uploads for route preparation: This has been moved to fields

What is a task? 

task represents a single, complete pass of work — such as an herbicide treatment or data collection — covering an area one time. 

What is a run? 

A task is made up of one or more runs. A run starts when autonomous operation begins and stops when autonomous operation stops. Each start/stop cycle counts as one Run. For example, if you begin an herbicide treatment in the morning, stop for lunch, and resume in the afternoon, that's two runs within a single task. The task groups both runs together and tracks overall field coverage until the job is complete. 

Key principles 

  • One task = one complete treatment of a field. A task should cover an area exactly once. Whether it takes one run or several to finish, it all belongs to the same task until the field is fully covered. 
  • A task can be any operation type — herbicide treatment, data collection, and more 
  • Tasks are resumable. If you leave a field before finishing, the task remembers your progress. When you return, you're guided to where you left off and can continue with a new run. 
  • Tasks are trackable. Every run within a task is recorded with full detail. 

 

Key Features 

Start and resume 

When your machine enters a field, the system uses GNSS positioning to automatically detect which field you're in. If an incomplete task exists for that field, you'll be asked whether to continue it or start a new one. 

View reports 

Task reports may include: 

  • Coverage map — Visual illustration of the area treated during the task, with individual run coverage shown separately 
  • Area treated — Total area covered 
  • Herbicide volume applied — Amount of herbicide dispensed 
  • Herbicide used — The herbicide mixture recorded for the task 
  • Average weed pressure (%) — Mean weed pressure observed across the treated area 
  • Average crop coverage (%) — Mean crop coverage observed 
  • Herbicide coverage (%) — Percentage of area receiving herbicide application 
  • Machine and operator — Which robot and operator performed the work 
  • Reason for stop — Why each run ended 
  • Uptime — Calculated autonomous operation time for the task
