Equipment compatibility continues to pose challenges for manufacturers, dealers and farmers. But for the last decade-plus, the Agricultural Electronics Foundation has worked to improve functionality between precision systems, while also increasing awareness of ISOBUS-certified components.
Developers of the AEF compatibility database feel strongly that their resource’s applications will lead the farm equipment field to authentic plug-and-play functionality.
A searchable database of ISOBUS-certified components for farm equipment dealers has been accessible to manufacturers and dealers since its release at the SIMA Agribusiness Show this February in France. Still quite new to manufacturers, the database has yet to see widespread use, but that is likely to change.
Verdant Robotics showed off its new Sharpshooter at the FIRA Conference a few weeks ago. Dubbed the only robotic precision application system that aims before it shoots, Sharpshooter uses Bullseye Aim & Apply Technology.
