This is a well thought out system which is aimed at improving your productive time in key transport and logistics areas. You can monitor on line whether the machines are in the right spot and how they are proceeding with the task in hand. AGRO-SCOUT will quickly reveal bottlenecks such as when a lack of transport capacity leaves your costly combine harvester standing idle in the middle of the field. The system also enables you to estimate when a job will be finished. High efficiency made visible thanks to AGRO-SCOUT.
» Access to information made easy.
With AGRO-SCOUT both the farm management and service engineers can access the actual and historic machine data via a central server at any time and from any location. The availability of a central computer base makes the coordination simpler for everyone involved in the process and adds to the clout of your logistics organisation.
» Graphic display functions.
AGRO-SCOUT is extremely simple to manage and puts you and your colleagues virtually in the driver’s seat. Service engineers waste no time in locating the machines out in the field and contractors can keep their customers regularly updated on how things stand.
» Geo-fencing keeps you in the picture .
You define the operating areas for your machinery and when for instance your combine harvester leaves a particular customer’s field and heads towards the next one, you will get a message. Then you can call up the next customer and make sure everything’s in place for a quick start when the combine turns up.
» Make the most out of your data.
All the information amassed by AGRO-SCOUT can be exported to a wide variety of other applications so nothing stands in the way of more detailed analysis. When you merge the data from this programme with precision farming software such as AGROCOM MAP you can really take advantage of the potential which is built in to the system to analyse and simulate efficiency boosting processes.
» Seeing is believing with Google earth® .
Your data records can be fed into Google earth® satellite and aerial photos and you can follow the path of one or more machines track by track. You’re so close it’s almost as good as being on the spot. An on line function updates every two minutes. If, for example, you need to keep a certain distance from open areas of water, then you can check for yourself with one look at Google earth® .
» Accurate data for improved results.
The AGRO SCOUT charts show whether the machine is running or switched off and can show analogue values such as the combine cutter bar position or the position of the three point linkage on a tractor. In addition you can clearly trace both the travel speed and level of fuel in the tank on an easy to read line diagram.
» Training for drivers and operation managers.
The operating time analysis provides you with a firm basis for praise and ideas for improvements. You can talk to your people about the amount of process time versus total time available or analyse how effectively your crop transport capacity was used. You can find out how much time your drivers spent turning on headlands or discharging. With a positive approach to the data there are always plenty of good ideas and with a team approach you’ll all be able to contribute to doing better next time round.
» The report function keeps you in the know.
You get sent all the latest figures automatically by e-mail. Your manager is updated on a daily basis with all the figures in PDF format. Surely nothing can be more convenient than that.
» Secure data transmission.
The information gathered on the machine are sent out by GPRS every ten seconds. The results are stored centrally on a secure server and only you can gain access with 128 bit SSL encryption. As an end user you don’t have to bother about updating because we handle updates and additional functions centrally.
