CNH Zedelgem: Where big farm machinery meets cutting edge tech
Basildon, March 7, 2024
At CNH we deliver customer inspired innovation, integrating great iron and
advanced tech. The result: industry leading products that make farming more
productive, efficient and profitable.
Our photo series gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse of where modern harvesting
comes to life. Discover our Harvesting Center of Excellence - Zedelgem, Belgium
- home of the award-winning New Holland CR11 combine.
Founded in 1906, our New Holland Harvesting Center of Excellence produces the
industry leading CX and CR combine harvesters. It is also the birthplace of
Europe's first self-propelled combine harvester.
We recently announced the latest developments for the site, a EUR150 million five-
year investment plan (https://www.cnh.com/en-
US/media/press_releases/2024/january/CNH-150-million-investment-in-Harvesting-
Center-of-Excellence) to expand both research & development and production
capabilities. This plan focuses on further enhancement and production of the new
CR11, our New Holland brand's next generation flagship combine harvester. This
machine uses advanced artificial intelligence technologies to deliver the high
productivity and yield our customers' demand. Real-time machine learning,
automated predictive adjustments, intelligent fuel management, and unique
sensors to assess crop nutrient composition are just a few of its extraordinary
features.
Automation to drive productivity is at the heart of the CR11 combine, and this
principle holds true for its production as well. The assembly and logistics area
will be completely redesigned using lean principles. Automated guided vehicles
will move the combines through the assembly line, creating a safer, more
efficient, and more flexible process. The combines will be comprehensively
tested and inspected in the four new inline test stations, ensuring the highest
build quality.
