The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation's new conformance test ensures that boundaries and prescription maps created in farm management information systems are in compliance with the ISO standard, guaranteeing plug-and-play compatibility with tractor displays.
The AEF ISOBUS Database has been developed as an online resource for dealers, manufacturers and the public to help understand the compatibility of agricultural products currently on the market.
Picture this scenario: a manufacturer makes a tractor. A farmer feels it’s perfect for him, and he buys it. Then, he needs an implement for his tractor. He finds a brand he likes from a different manufacturer, and he buys it. Then, he buys his favorite display from another manufacturer. Sounds fine, right? Sure, except if the products aren’t compatible with each other, they won’t work together at all.
There was plenty of technology on display at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., a few weeks ago. Farm Equipment editor Mike Lessiter caught up with Monarch Tractor’s John Issacson and got his take on the top 5 applications in autonomy right now.
