The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF), recently exhibited at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ (AEM) second “Celebration of Modern Ag on the National Mall” event.
A single touch screen display in the cab will allow the operator to have greater visibility, and improved color depth will provide more visually appealing graphics and images of the implement being operated.
The new Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) Task Validator will streamline service and reduce downtime in the field for farmers, dealer technicians and farmer technicians who want to quickly resolve software formatting and incompatibility issues themselves.
Combined with the ISOBUS interface on the tractor, the implement is able to control certain tractor functions automatically, for example, ground speed or spool valves.
If you have been following along throughout this series, we imagine you have learned quite a bit about how current ISOBUS technology is helping the agricultural community. And if this is the first article you are reading about ISOBUS, here is a quick summary of what we have been covering through our educational series over the past few months.
Tractor Implement Management, or what we call “TIM,” is a cross-product and cross-manufacturer ISOBUS solution where the implement controls certain tractor functions and optimizes the working process.
Every day, farm tractors and implements are connected together and the electrical connectors are engaged. In the cab, the terminal comes alive with information about all the connected systems. Very interesting technology, but how does it all happen?
In a market offering so many different tractors and implements, how can you make the right choice? Now more than ever, when considering the precision farming functions, it can be a critical part of the buying decision.
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.
