Progress on developing true plug-and-play compatibility through ISOBUS connections has been ongoing, although at times, it’s an arduous process, especially in North America. But the collaboration of two independent organizations aiming to streamline equipment functionality could help accelerate the rate of progress.
Returning for a third time to the Agricultural Electronics Foundation’s (AEF) annual North American Plugfest event in Lincoln, Neb., I again marveled at the intensity of the dozens of engineers as they hustled from station to station in search of enhanced equipment compatibility.
Thanks to the work of groups like AgGateway and the Ag Data Transparency Evaluator, ag data "pipelines" are starting to take shape. This post explores the current definitions of the different ag data pipelines coming off the farm.
If farmers and agronomists were better able to use data from their irrigation management systems — including information on weather, soil moisture and crop types — they could make more informed decisions about when, where and how much water to apply, resulting in smarter energy and water use, and lowering costs while protecting or improving yield.
With all the activity surrounding telematics and farm management systems, it's sometimes difficult to identify all the right players. Are groups overlapping on effort? Are they working together efficiently?
ADAPT helps enable interoperability between different software and hardware applications. AgGateway is now coordinating with software companies on plugs-ins needed for ADAPT's adoption.
AgGateway is celebrating its 10-year anniversary by launching several new programs at its Annual Conference November 9-12 in San Antonio, TX, that highlight innovations in agricultural eBusiness – or "eAgriculture."
The project is a collaboration of 24 companies and precision ag experts. SPADE3 will continue to provide improved efficiency and time savings for growers, giving farmers the ability to seamlessly share data with valued trading partners and for regulatory compliance, while improving accuracy and tracking capabilities.
We had a front-row seat to the launch of AEF’s Agricultural Interoperability Network (AgIN) at AGRITECHNICA a few weeks ago, which promises to ease the process of data sharing for farmers and dealers.
