This paper introduces an open-source platform called ISOBlue HD for acquisition of context-rich data from agricultural machinery. We call these datasets context-rich, because they enable the identification of machine status and farming logistics by properly labeling, fusing, and processing the data. The system includes a single board computer, a cellular modem, local storage, and power-over-ethernet switch to sensors. The system allows remote diagnostics and access, automatic startup/shut down with vehicle operations, and uses Apache Kafka to enable robust data exchange. ISOBlue HD was deployed in a combine harvester during a 2019 wheat harvest for simultaneously capturing 69 million CAN frames, 230,000 GPS points, and 437 GB of video data, focusing on header status and operator actions over 84 h of harvest time. Analyses of the collected data demonstrate that contextual knowledge can be inferred on harvest logistics (paths, speeds, header status, material transfer) and sensor data semantics.
