Unlocking the power of ALMACO D1 in modern farming

The ALMACO D1 Data Collection Unit is a modern solution designed to deliver precise, real-time plot harvest data for seed research

Built with durability and an intuitive interface, the D1 accurately measures test weight, shell weight, and moisture levels—helping researchers make faster and better advancement decisions.

D1 easily integrates with existing systems, making it a cost-effective upgrade for research professionals. It is fully compatible with ALMACO plot harvesters, seed processing lines, individual threshers, and is the only solution that works with ALMACO packagers.

With a single device, researchers can collect harvest data across multiple crops. D1 supports nearly all crop types, including corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, canola, sunflowers, and more. ALMACO experts emphaasised,"No matter the crop, D1 measures with accuracy and precision.along with that moisture and weight curves are stored in the harvest software and not the D1 control box, so there is no need to switch units between harvesters."

Built for all-weather use, the D1 doesn’t need to be removed during poor weather, transport, or overnight storage. It is water, rust, and dust resistant, and performs reliably in both hot and cold conditions. To improve visibility, the unit can be placed out of sight and is fully operated through the main harvest software display. D1 has no internal battery or separate display, reducing maintenance and eliminating the risk of data loss due to power failure. 

The interface is user-friendly and includes built-in diagnostics to maximize uptime. Its intuitive design helps reduce training time and allows more time for field data collection. Calibration is simple with step-by-step guides, and the system supports any moisture blade size, including larger ones for greater precision. Experts also focused by stating,"Calibration supports any size moisture blade for client accuracy specifications—including large moisture blades for high data precision."

Backed by decades of experience, ALMACO developed the D1 to meet the specific needs of the seed research industry, offering an efficient, accurate, and low-maintenance solution for real-time data collection.
