In precision farming, efficiency and seamless communication between tools are critical. Farmers rely on a range of precision agriculture technologies, but often, these tools fail to communicate effectively.

True ISOBUS compatibility can be elusive even if many farms already possess ISOBUS-capable machinery.  This is where the Sveaverken ISOBUS solution comes in, addressing this by developing compatibility of control terminals (F100 & F100H) with these implements to unlock the full potential of your equipment.

Sveaverken ISOBUS: Plug-and-Play Solution

Sveaverken ISOBUS solution offers a central control terminal designed to provide farmers with true communication across their operations.

With only three main components—CAN-BOX, TBC-BOX, and ISOBUS-BOX—the system provides a plug-and-play approach, connecting tractors equipped with F100 terminals to ISOBUS-compatible implements.

This functionality enhances operational efficiency like automatic navigation, route planning, and precision application. 

For farmers with existing ISOBUS-compatible implements, the F100 terminal serves as an all-in-one control hub, eliminating the need for multiple displays. The result? Lower equipment costs and a more organized, user-friendly tractor cabin.

For tractor resellers, this system adds immense value. By retrofitting tractors with Sveaverken’s autosteering system, they can offer seamless ISOBUS integration, making the tractor compatible with various implements from different manufacturers. Multiple screens—one for the tractor and others for various implements—can be managed directly through the F100 terminal, offering operators full control at their fingertips.

Functionalities That Drive Precision Farming

Virtual Terminal (VT)

The Virtual Terminal simplifies the management of implements from different brands. By consolidating multiple interfaces into a single display, VT reduces the need for implement-specific screens. Farmers can manage various implements through the F100 terminal, ensuring a clean and efficient cabin setup.

Task Controller Basic (TC-BAS)

TC-BAS records essential metrics like total area covered and total application amounts. This data is easily exported for documentation and seamlessly shared with farm management systems and task controllers. The result is better-informed decisions and efficient data flow.

Task Controller Section Control (TC-SC)

TC-SC takes precision to the next level by automatically switching implement sections based on GPS data. This minimizes overlaps and skips during field operations, reducing material waste and saving costs. Section control ensures the accurate application of fertilizers and seeds, optimizing efficiency and yields.

Task Controller Geo-Based (TC-GEO)

TC-GEO enables variable rate technology, tailoring inputs like fertilizers, seeds, and crop protection to specific field zones. This feature maximizes resource use, improves yields, and promotes sustainability by reducing unnecessary input waste. Variable rate control ensures that every area of your field gets exactly what it needs, enhancing productivity and resource efficiency.

Auxiliary Control (AUX-N)

AUX-N simplifies the operation of complex implements by integrating additional control devices, like joysticks or multifunction handles. This feature reduces operator workload and enhances efficiency, making it easier to manage advanced tasks in the field.

Benefits of ISOBUS and Application Control in Farming

Precision Application

• Reduced Input Costs: Apply only the necessary amount of fertilizer and pesticides, minimizing waste and saving money.
• Optimized Crop Health: Ensure precise nutrient distribution for healthier plants and higher yields.
• Environmental Stewardship: Reduce chemical runoff and soil erosion, contributing to sustainable farming.

Time and Labor Savings

• Real-Time Insights: Monitor field conditions and equipment performance to make informed choices.
• Predictive Analytics: Use historical and current data to optimize future resource allocation.

Reduced Soil Compaction

Autoguidance ensures consistent passes across fields, minimizing the need to travel over the same ground repeatedly. This helps maintain soil structure and supports healthier crop growth.

Enhanced Operator Comfort and Safety

By automating the demanding task of steering, ISOBUS reduces operator fatigue, allowing for a safer and more comfortable working environment.
