Claas has received a second Farm Machine Award at Agritechnica 2025, with CEMOS Auto Chopping recognised in the combine and forage harvester technology category for its groundbreaking automation of silage quality control.
CEMOS Auto Chopping builds on Claas’ existing AI-supported chop quality analysis and provides fully automatic adjustment of grain processing parameters in real time. Using a camera with a CMOS sensor mounted in the discharge spout, the system analyses the chopped material and determines the Corn Silage Processing Score (CSPS) – a key indicator of grain processing quality in maize silage.
When the system detects that the CSPS value deviates from the preset target, it automatically adjusts the cracker gap, forward speed and engine power to restore optimal processing. This level of automation ensures consistent chop quality throughout varying crop conditions, helping operators maintain high standards without manual intervention.
The processed data can be transferred to the cloud-based Claas Connect platform, where it can be stored, documented and used for quality assurance or contractor billing.
Thomas Spiering, chief operating officer at Claas, says: “By listening to our customers’ needs, we continue to develop automation systems that deliver clear practical benefits. The Farm Machine Award for CEMOS Auto Chopping reflects our commitment to using advanced technology to support operators in achieving consistently high silage quality.”
CEMOS Auto Chopping operates as part of the Jaguar forage harvester platform and complements the machine’s broader suite of automation and data-driven optimisation tools.
