Quantity:

Everybody needs to eat. Different food-> New diet!

Quality:

Traceability of products

Per capita resources are decreasing!

More from less

Status The world population is growing

Today: ~7,3 miliardi

1950: ~2,5 miliardi

2010: ~6,8 miliardi

Main concept – New Paradigma

Homogeneous field management yesterday

Site – specific management today

Precision Farming

An agricultural strategy based on the

management of job “site-specific” oriented.

…the best in the best way …

Measurement → Elaboration → Decision

Tractor system:

- ISOBUS – TIM

- Autoguidance

Tractor is georeferenciated and connected:

- GPS/GLONASS

- Connection modules

Yield mapping

Field digitalization (drone)

Data Management - Fleet management

- Smart field

How to make it possible?

Tractor for Precision Farming

Autoguidance systems

GPS based systems allow application like:

- auto guidance (accuracy up to 2cm → time, costs,

product optimization)

- coverage map (reports)

- geo referred jobs (according to prescription maps)

- geo referred data collection

Tractor – Impl. Cooperation

Tractor – Implement integration regardless implement brand.

Machines exchange data in order to cooperate.

The cooperation of machines allows:

- To manage implement functionalities (VT – Virtual Terminal)

- To optimize the used product according to GPS position (TC-Task Controller , SC - Section Control and VRC - Variable Rate Control)

- To optimize the job in field according to implement needs (TIM – Tractor Implement Management)

TIM

Data Management

Data management system allow to exchange any kind of data between machines and world (in both direction).

Data management system allow to know:

- GNSS location

- Machine status

- Machine maintenance plan and needs

- Field information (weather information)

- Job report

Data management

The new vision „From Silicon to Data“ will modify:

- agricultural machine manufacturer (from product to service)

- new services companies (I.T. approach)

- Farmer

Page 17

- Autonomously drive the tractor along a reference path

- Control the implement from a standard user terminal

- Perform jobs with variable rate based on prescription maps
