Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring seed placement by a planting machine with a plurality of row units. An average seed placement metric is calculated for each individual row unit based on a data stream of sensor data corresponding to a defined calculation window. Each calculated metric is compared to a defined performance threshold and an error alert signal is transmitted based on the comparison. The calculation window can be adjusted by a user and the average seed placement metrics and the error alert signal are updated based on the adjusted calculation window. A graphical user interface also displays the calculated metrics for each individual row unit in a row data table and updates the row data table in response to receiving the user selection of the new calculation window.
