CEMOS AUTO — AI-Driven Settings

CEMOS AUTO is CLAAS integrated combine intelligence that continuously adjusts threshing drum speed, concave clearance, fan speed, and sieve openings based on real-time grain loss and quality sensing. In independent trials, CEMOS AUTO achieves throughput 10–15% higher than expert operators over a full harvest day by eliminating the performance degradation that occurs as operator fatigue sets in. No manual intervention is required once the system is initialised for the crop.

Precision Farming Integration

The LEXION 8900 is ISOBUS-compatible and integrates with CLAAS TELEMATICS for remote fleet monitoring, service planning, and harvest documentation. The FIELD ROVER Pro headland management system automates header lift, reel adjustment, and driving direction changes at headlands, reducing operator workload during intensive harvest periods.
