Efficient access to vital information through seamlessly integrated solutions that connect your farm, fleet, and data, AFS Connect™ serves as your gateway to more informed management decisions. Imagine having a centralised control centre that provides immediate access to crucial farm, machine, and agronomic data, all from your computer or mobile device. With AFS Connect™, this high level of efficiency is not a distant aspiration; it’s a tangible reality.
Imagine Case IH AFS Connect™ as the central hub of your agricultural operations, intricately connected with state-of-the-art hardware from Raven, forming the heart of your farm’s digital ecosystem. This dynamic partnership amalgamates innovation to empower farmers with unprecedented insight, control, and connectivity that was once only imagined. While Raven supplies the physical hardware, screens, and technological prowess, Case IH AFS Connect™ skilfully orchestrates the integration, transforming it into a comprehensive solution.
Case IH AFS Connect™ assumes the role of a wizard, adept at gathering and visualising agronomic data with precision. Effortlessly monitor each agricultural operation, spanning from spring tillage to the culmination of the harvest season. AFS Connect™ seamlessly integrates data from multiple machines operating within a single field. Leverage the capabilities of satellite maps to gain insight into diverse layers of agronomic data. For instance, when anomalies such as yield fluctuations in specific field areas arise, delve into the field’s historical records to pinpoint potential contributing factors, thus enabling informed decision-making.
Precision in Action
Experience the capability to remotely transmit guidance lines and prescriptions to your equipment from a centralised virtual command centre. Facilitate the seamless sharing of comprehensive field setup details, such as guidance lines, boundaries, and prescriptions, across multiple pieces of equipment simultaneously, ensuring a harmonious performance. Whether your preference leans toward the high-flying perspective of satellites or the grounded view of street-level detail, you can select the vantage point that aligns best with your technological vision.
Maximising Agricultural Efficiency
This synergy of technologies transcends mere convenience; it revolutionises modern agriculture. It empowers you to maximise efficiency at every stage of the crop production cycle. AFS Connect™ enables you to effortlessly manage your farm, monitor your fleet, and access crucial agronomic data. This centralised control hub streamlines your operations, giving you greater control over your time and resources. In an industry where every second counts, AFS Connect™ and Raven technology empower farmers to embrace the future of agriculture fully. By optimising time and decision-making, farmers can enhance their farm’s performance, achieve increased yields, and efficiently meet the growing global demand for food.
