Cost effective data exchange has become a reality with the Pӧttinger Connect telemetry unit providing access to the world of networked data, looking after the functions for controlling, recording and transmitting data of ISOBUS-controlled machines
Available from August 1, the module has a certified data interface to Agrirouter, the internet-based data exchange platform. The system is being released for worldwide implementation, meaning that numerous, localised farm management information systems can be connected.
Used in conjunction with Pӧttinger’s Next Machine Management and Next field indexing software, the system offers the possibility to visualise data and document it over the long term. Automated recording and transmission of data ensures automated, permanent back-up, ensuring a complete and professional documentation trail is compiled, while avoiding data chaos.
Simple operation sees the telemetry unit and the respective farm implement are operated using ISOBUS-capable terminals or alternatively using the tractor terminal. For this purpose, Pӧttinger offers its intelligent terminals; power control, Expert 75 and CCI 1200, as solutions for every application. This concept, without the need for multiple monitors, offers a better overview in the cab, by using just one terminal.
Pöttinger Connect also offers the possibility of using precision farming applications, base around ease of use and cost efficiencies, with the module taking over task controller jobs, enabling applications such as section and variable rate control, so reducing the number of passes required and saving on running costs.
