What is going into the system? Who delivered what and where did it come from? How much energy and biogas slurry resulted form the mix? What is being sent where and whereabouts is it being spread? AGROCOM BIOGAS is designed to answer all such questions and takes many factors into account which are outside the direct sphere of the production unit itself – from the input production process via the energy production phase to the disposal of the residues.

You can enter the data from the yield mapping reports or use the interface to the input weighing station. This enables you to keep your suppliers’ accounts tidy and make sure your own the safe side when it comes to settling up with the authorities. You can always prove the facts when it comes to using set aside areas and the nutritional balance sheet is a straightforward by-product.

The user interface of AGROCOM BIOGAS is logical and clearly laid out so that it takes a minimum of time to become familiar with it. You can enter everything to do with the energy crop production or other energy sources (slurry, waste etc.). You can simulate various crop and cost optimisation scenarios at the input level with the AGROCOM BIOGAS analysis and planning tool which is an integral feature of the system. The programme also displays where the different energy sources can be obtained and the end result is a better return on your biogas production.

Field by field documentation is obligatory these days. With that in mind the AGROCOM experts decided to apply their expertise in yield mapping to this application. This means using the chopped quantities from the JAGUAR field harvester which are field on a point by point site specific basis. As a result invoicing can be done using the exact amounts harvested as an alternative to the traditional method of weighing the load on a weighbridge.
