Precision farming
Thanks to the development of new technologies such as GPS systems, the trend "precision farming" becomes more and more important.
TECNOMA is focus on this new trend and offers these options included in the Novatop or Novatop Visio controllers, without additional hardware in the cab, for an easy use.
"All in One by TECNOMA"
The precision agriculture trend is justified by the following concerns :
- Improvement of working conditions for operators
- Improvement of spraying performance
- Variable rate applications to save inputs
- Better traceability for the daily work
3 levels of GPS signals are currently available on the market. All is based on the accuracy.
- GPS: accuracy from 1 to a few meters (used for road GPS)
- DGPS: EGNOS, SF1, SF2 J Deere, differential correction -> sub metre accuracy from 30 to
- GPS RTK: accuracy from 3 to
Mostly GPS systems used for spraying is the DGPS signal, with an accuracy of few tens centimetres.
The GPS spraying applications :
> Guidance
> Automatic boom sections control
> Variable Application rate (Liquid Fertilizer)
> Auto steering
