Automated Harvest-Time Shutdown System with GPS – Innovative Bird of Prey Protection in Large-Scale Projects
VSB and sciota GmbH present how intelligent GPS-controlled mowing shutdown works: wind turbines automatically adjust to nearby farming activities, supporting bird protection and environmental sustainability.
How can renewable energy and wildlife conservation be successfully combined? VSB and sciota GmbH have developed an innovative approach: using GPS-controlled mowing shutdown, planned wind turbines automatically pause whenever nearby agricultural activities take place.
The reason: freshly cultivated fields attract birds of prey – especially during the breeding season when food demand is high. By temporarily stopping the turbines, the birds can hunt undisturbed while being effectively protected.
