The thesis resulted in having an overview of the different geometries of the boom sprayers of the majority of the clients of BBLeap. With this knowledge, a clamping system has been designed that is adjustable according to different geometries to be able to fit them all. The clamp tightens in the horizontal direction in line with the driving direction and is also adjustable in the vertical direction according to the boom dimensions. Besides, the toothed disk enables levelling the sensors. This gives the possibility to attach a wind sensor, a GPS and a camera module to the boom, to make sure the spraying dose is adjusted live according to the measurements.
