Protecting your crew and the tools they need to get the work done is a top priority. Now John Deere SmartDetect gives operators more control over their surroundings, enhancing awareness and safety.

• Providing enhanced object detection on the jobsite, SmartDetect improves situational awareness to help operators work confidently.

• John Deere offers SmartDetect Field Kits for select utility-class and production-class loaders.

Prioritizing operator visibility, perception, and awareness, SmartDetect combines cameras and machine learning to help give operators a better view of their surroundings.

SmartDetect utilizes the machine's integrated digital cameras and a dedicated rearview high-resolution monitor to supplement operator's jobsite visibility. The stereo camera on the rear of the machine enables depth perception to identify and classify known objects, further improving awareness.

The SmartDetect system alerts operators when an object enters the machine's projected travel path and provides unique detection alerts for the operator, as well as people in the camera's field of view.

With this advanced perception system, visual cues and bounding boxes are shown to the operator, helping to distinguish and highlight any obstacle type. By identifying fixed or moving objects such as people, poles, structures or other machinery, vision technology provides critical information to the operator.
