Two new service are now added to the Augmenta System's already extensive repertoire of (solid/liquid) N-fertilizer, foliar fertilizer, (systemic, contact, and agnostic) Harvest Aid defoliant, and PGR growth regulator VRA. Multi-Zone N-VRA means that different recommended doses can now be specified in different regions (as defined by Shapefiles uploaded to the Augmenta Web Portal) of the same field. This new feature allows the farmer to enhance fertilization accuracy even further. Side-Dressing (Y-drops) dispenses liquid fertilizers at the base of plants, thus allowing more efficient uptake and better yields.
The Augmenta System can already deal with all major food crops (wheat, rice, corn etc.) and cash crops (sugarcane, cotton, oilseed, etc.). Now spinach crops are added to the ever-growing list.
When an anomaly is detected in the field, the Augmenta System automatically takes a hi-res snapshot (they can also be taken manually) and uploads it to the cloud. This is to allow for closer inspection by the farmer or agronomist, should it be required. Geographic information is now added to each snapshot, making it easier to locate the anomaly. Furthermore, snapshot images are now downloadable, so that they can be more easily shared.
The RS232 protocol is a common international standard for connecting hardware. It has now been added as a configuration option so that the Augmenta System can interface with multiple serial protocols without the need for firmware updates.
The Augmenta Web Portal gets a brand-new look, making it even more intuitive to use. In addition to the wide range of operational and analytical features already offered, it now includes new drawing tools to better set session attributes and geometrical field limits. Moreover, a new Location Management screen has been added. All this makes it even easier to set the perimeters of your fields and keep track of your farming operations.
In addition to these key changes, other improvements have been made:
The Augmenta System already boasts a range of services such in-season N-fertilizer, foliar fertilizer, Harvest Aid defoliant, and PGR growth regulator VRA (Variable Rate Application). Systemic, contact, and agnostic Harvest Aid functionality are now added to this impressive list. Once the spreader/sprayer is set up, all farmers have to do is select the appropriate Harvest Aid function on their in-cabin tablet and let Augmenta do the rest.
The Augmenta System can be retrofitted to any ordinary tractor, including those with ISOBUS interfaces. Complex or multi-rate ISOBUS systems are now included to ensure that the Augmenta System is Plug n' Play across the board.
The Augmenta Web Portal now has a new Analytics page to improve operational efficiencies. Farmers and farm managers are now offered a host of analytical features ranging from VRA area coverage and job time records to input savings made per operation and crop type.
The Augmenta System is sold all around the world. To help farmer interaction, Czech, Finnish, Greek, Lithuanian and Romanian have been added to a growing list of languages available on both the System tablet interface and Web Portal.
Shapefiles are now sampled more uniformly to improve file quality. Geometrics and attributes can now be more easily read and acted upon.
Now that the process has been semi-automated, it is much easier to access IsoXML files provided by the implement manufacturer and load the specifics of any given actuated spreader/sprayer into the Augmenta System. In turn, this makes the initial set-up procedure easier.
