More and more operations are shifting to having multiple machines to help cover their acreage more efficiently. With numerous machines operating in the same field, map sharing plays a vital role for operators. Continue reading to learn the benefits John Deere In-Field Data Sharing offers you and your operation.
John Deere In-Field Data Sharing is an option available within the suite of John Deere precision and guidance systems. In-Field Data Sharing allows multiple machines to work within the same field and share information between monitors or displays in real time.
In-Field Data Sharing can be used in equipment throughout the planting, growing, harvesting, and prepping seasons. This allows combines, tractors, sprayers, and nutrient applicators to communicate if any of them are in the same field operating simultaneously. Data can be shared with up to six machines working in the same area.
Monitoring data from multiple machines on one screen allows you to easily see the complete picture of the work going on throughout your field. Having a comprehensive view of your machines in-field will enable you to communicate better, increase efficiency, and take advantage of a variety of additional benefits.
The equipment operators throughout the field can easily collaborate with themselves regarding positioning. With In-Field Data Sharing, you can see coverage and as-applied maps for all machines operating simultaneously in the same field. Utilizing this technology allows operators to reduce overlap and improve overall product placement.
The Join feature within In-Field Data Sharing allows operators to join geospatially sorted work groups easily. After joining the work group, the operator can accept the client, farm, field, and guidance lines, along with crop and other documented entries. When starting a shared work group, the creator can share everything or just a selection.
In-Field Data Sharing offers a streamlined setup process that matches maps and guidance lines up from the information selected on the Work Screen.
When sharing a work group, different operations need different information to be shared:
Field, operation, and crop are already required for documentation, and In-Field Data Sharing uses this information to match guidance lines and coverage between machines, making setup quick and easy. Easily view which machines are in the same group, access settings, and confirm the system is working correctly through the shortcut key.
Share more than just coverage maps with In-Field Data Sharing, such as guidance lines. Both straight tracks and circle tracks can be shared between machines.
To utilize In-Field Data Sharing on your farm, you need a Gen 4 CommandCenter™ to get the full benefits. With the addition of the Gen 4 CommandCenter™ to your operation, you can easily utilize the In-Field Data Sharing and additional precision ag solutions, such as John Deere Operations Center™.
