AgriSmart gives an opportunity to enhance the efficiency of farming
Crop Management
Coming in year 2012. AgriSmart consists of several applications for making field management easier. For ISOBUS-machinery we provide Task Manager for creating ISOBUS tasks, Task Controller for running them in a tractor and finally Field Records for reporting. For older machinery without ISOBUS we provide Task Monitor which produces work records for invoicing, field records and real time general view.
Thinking like AgriSmart!
Benefits
Savings in fertilizer costs
Better quality and homogeneity of the crop
Environmental load decreases
Makes sowing easier and decreases driver’s workload
Automatic documentation and reporting
Easily updated and upgraded
With PC you can easily gather and process information needed in farming
AgriSmart Task Controller
AgriSMART Task Controller controls the implement based on variable-rate-application (VRA) map and GPS-positioning. In other words Task Controller provides possibility for precision farming and automatic implement adjustment. The PC-installed software works with ISOBUS-compatible machinery. For example with Junkkari Maestro Plus combi drill, amount of seed and fertilizer are adjusted automatically in zones planned by the user. This makes driving easier and decreases drivers work load. In addition user can manually change the settings for the seed drill using the UI which is automatically displayed in the tractors ISOBUS Universal Terminal. During the work task controller records used time, sowed area, and measured inputs etc. which can be used for documentation later.
Requirements for Task Controller software are an ISOBUS-equipped tractor and an implement with Task Controller supported Implement Electronic Control Unit (IECU).
Task Manager
Treatment zones and amounts of inputs can be created with AgriSMART map application or with your farm management software able to create ISOBUS task files. In the task file a field is divided into treatment zones which include desired values for inputs used for adjusting the implement. During the work task controller records used time, sowed area, and measured inputs etc. which can be used for documentation later.
Rugged PC
The Task Controller software runs in a rugged PC installed inside the tractor with a mounting bracket. The PC can be used for other purposes also. The best combination is to have your farm management software onboard too!
