Precision agriculture

Leverage high precision positioning and cloud connectivity to increase agricultural productivity and protect the environment.

 

On farms, high precision automated guided tractors support farmers tilling fields, planting seeds, spraying fertilizers and pesticides, and harvesting crops.

Improved pass-to-pass accuracy optimizes the consumption of agricultural inputs and reduces soil compaction, protecting the environment.

Analyzing sensed telematics data in real-time paves the way for predictive maintenance of essential agricultural equipment, increasing safety and reducing costly downtime to a minimum.

Meanwhile, distributed environmental sensors and livestock trackers feed real-time dashboards and provide valuable decision-making support.
