While it seems irrelevant, space weather and solar activity should be a topic of conversation since it can disrupt technology used in agriculture, says Rebecca Bishop, the principal scientist at the Aerospace Corporation.
Available to users as an annual subscription service, the new network will be built using Trimble’s hardware and software positioning technology, which provides customers with easy and reliable high accuracy real-time or post-processed GNSS corrections data for agriculture, construction, geospatial, Internet of Things (IoT) and other commercial operations.
In this article from GPS World, Nabeel Khan writes, "Change is in the air. Over the past few years, the popularization of the internet of things (IoT) and its underlying technologies has led to the development of a new and more affordable generation of precision farming solutions."
DigiFarm VBN, an agricultural technology company, announces it has signed a supplier agreement with AGCO Corporation, a world-leading manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment solutions. The supplier agreement will offer DigiFarm VBN cellular hardware and GNSS corrections for all models of agriculture GNSS receivers through Challenger, Fendt and Massey Ferguson dealers in North America.
By integrating high-precision navigation RTK receiver and software, the AG960 AutoSteer System makes agricultural machines operate in accordance with the pre-set planning path achievable.
NovAtel Inc.introduced its RTK ASSIST service, a subscription-based service that provides users with satellite-delivered correction data to seamlessly continue centimetre-level accuracy during Real Time Kinematic (RTK) correction outages caused by communication disruptions.
An Arrow GNSS receiver combined with the NTRIP app turns a user's Android smartphone or tablet into a data collector capable of recording 1cm accurate GIS data in real-time.
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.
