AvMap has always offered its know-how in GPS and navigation technology to solve specific problems in different industries. Experts in the agricultural sector have contacted us to develop a simple and reliable GPS system to improve precision and increase productivity in farming operations.
In other countries satellite-assisted agriculture has being used for several years, while in Europe the experimentation is a little bit behind. AvMap is ready to transfer the GPS technology to the work in the fields.

The Problem

The agrimotor driver has to prepare the field, plant, fertilize and protect the crop measuring distances by eye. It is very difficult to be precise and mistakes such as fertilizing twice the same area or treating and area twice with pesticides or forgetting other areas, can easily occur.

These mistakes cost money, waste of chemical substances and of fuel causing a damage to the environment. The over treated areas will be burn and they will be less productive as well as the forgotten areas.

The solution

The application of the GPS technology to agriculture can eliminate these inconveniences.
AvMap ha developed a special agricultural GPS to be positioned close to the steering wheel, that ensures the coverage of the whole field in the minimum time possible.

The system shows on the display the track to follow and ensures an equal treatment of the field without any overlapping. With the AvMap agricultural GPS you can trace the contours of your field, register the data about the field application and optimize the operations.

The GPS helps you keeping the right track and following the same "tramlines" on the field, reducing the overridden area, so that the productivity is maximized.

The AvMap GPS for agriculture helps reducing costs and increase efficiency. With satellite-assisted agriculture, the costs for fertilizers can be cut by 10/12%.

The GPS helps also avoiding accidents as it can warn about obstacles that can be hidden in the vegetation for example in corn fields.

The advantages of Intelligent Farming with GPS:

•  

• • Time Saving

• • Products saving

• • Minimize the environmental impact

• • Reduce costs

• • Reduce operators fatigue

• • Increase productivity and efficiency

• • Minimize oscillations and variations of crop between one area and another

• • Possibility to operate during the night or with scarce visibility

• • The system can be used in different vehicles

• • Competitive cost affordable for any agricultural enterprise, and with immediate return on investment.
