Mission Control features and operational benefits
LACOS Mission Control for pre-planned mission execution
LACOS Mission Control is software for the execution of the pre-planned mission on the autonomous tractor unit. This keeps the product focused on carrying an already defined field task into operation on the machine.
LACOS Mission Control for route-following on the tractor unit
LACOS Mission Control carries out missions by following pre-planned routes via control of the traction drive and steering. This connects path execution directly to vehicle movement rather than leaving route handling separate from machine control.
LACOS Mission Control for attachment control
LACOS Mission Control manages the control of attachments with or without ISOBUS connectivity. This supports attachment handling across implementations that use ISOBUS and those that do not.
LACOS Mission Control for data exchange and monitoring links
LACOS Mission Control acts as an interface to FMIS for the exchange of work progress and process data and handles bilateral communication with the Monitoring Hub for real-time monitoring. This ties mission execution to operational data flow and live oversight.
Common questions about Mission Control
How Mission Control operates in practice
LACOS Mission Control starts from the pre-planned mission on the autonomous tractor unit. This establishes the mission that the software executes.
LACOS Mission Control carries out the mission by following pre-planned routes via control of the traction drive and steering. This is the route-execution stage of the workflow.
LACOS Mission Control acts as an interface to FMIS for the exchange of work progress and process data and handles bilateral communication with the Monitoring Hub for real-time monitoring. This connects execution to operational reporting and live oversight.
LACOS Mission Control can be remotely controlled if intervention is necessary. This adds an intervention path when the mission needs operator input.
