A device and method for inserting seeds in a capsule includes a seed bin for storing a plurality of plant seeds and a materials bin for storing a growing medium, enables a first tray and a second tray to move to a plurality of positions. At vacuum needle generates a vacuum suction at a tip sufficient to extract a plant seed from a bin. A robot arm, moves the vacuum needle to a plurality of positions. Circuitry controls the motor. When the vacuum suction from the vacuum needle is removed, the seed picked up by the vacuum needle is released into a capsule body.

An automatic precise pneumatic plug tray seedling device comprises a body, a plug tray platform, a seed groove, an air pressure source, a control device, a conveyor device, a soil punching device, and a seed device. To become an automatic control of a closed loop of a pneumatic cylinder, it adjusts the input control signals through the track positioning control in the control device and the feedback signal conveyed by the conveyor device.

A system for controlling the operation of a seed-planting implement includes a row unit frame and a plurality of ground-engaging tools supported by the frame. Additionally, a seed reservoir is supported by the frame and configured to store seeds therein. Furthermore, the system includes a metering component configured to meter untreated seeds and a seed treatment assembly configured to receive and treat the untreated seeds metered by the metering component and convey treated seeds to the seed reservoir. Moreover, the system includes a fill level sensor configured to generate data indicative of a fill level of the seed reservoir and a computing system communicatively coupled to the fill level sensor. The computing system is configured to determine the fill level of the seed reservoir based on the data generated by the fill level sensor and control an operation of the metering component based on the determined fill level.

An agricultural seed meter comprising a seed meter and a monitoring system. The seed meter comprising a seed meter cover, a seed disc, and a singulator assembly. The monitoring system comprising a camera assembly configured to view internal components of the seed meter, a processor in communication with the camera assembly, and a machine vision algorithm executed on the processor, wherein the machine vision algorithm processes images from the camera assembly to detect planting errors.

A seed meter assembly may include a vacuum chamber housing defining a vacuum chamber. The seed meter assembly may also include a seed meter housing and a seed metering member mounted for rotation with respect to the seed meter housing. At least a portion of the vacuum chamber housing may be movably mounted relative to the seed meter housing. The at least a portion of the vacuum chamber housing may be movable in response to a vacuum force operable to adhere seeds to the seed metering member.
