Anybody on here using Agleader Incommand 1200 screen with subscription Infinity cloud based record keeping linked into Gatekeeper for recs,VRN, guidance etc ?
Looking into Infinity myself but main importer of Agleader stuff has stopped answering my questions or is away but need to make my mind up soon for various reasons.

Just an update.
Got more info and have signed up to Agfiniti .com [ sorry had wrong name in ist post}.
Once I get my access codes and info , agronomist and I are going to try some trial recs . Only problem is that engine went pop on 7 week old sprayer last monday so waiting for new engine to be fitted !!!

For various reasons , only just recieved access code yesterday and entered on to my Agfiniti a/c. Also downloaded app onto phone . Need to do some stuff to display in sprayer to join it all up and add the agronomist as a partner [I can restrict or add how much they can see / do]. Also going to add PSolutions so they can do remote back up / help .Cost of 12 months sub was £411.70 plus vat but that covers upto 3 displays. Unfortunately , Agleader does not currently do a 1 display lower price but Precise Solutions [Uk dealer] is pressing them for it. Will do sprayer stuff tomorrow.
May end up with a tech guy from P Solutions coming down to meet up with Agronomist,me and sprayer to get it working 100% . Its all a bit new and a learning curve for everyone especially linking back to Gatekeeper. See how it goes and will report back when anything to add .

Not a lot to report but got screen in cab linked up to my Agfiniti cloud so everything on screen now uploads to cloud and get it on phone app and my PC in office. Going to try the gatekeeper part soon, will report back.

Not been on this for a while and no spraying possible even.
The agronomist who is working for my large AD customer is a real computer / techno lover so even without support yet from Agleader dealer, he has gone on his own. He sent me a gatekeeper rec to some new ground for me to spray via my Agfiniti a/c and it successfully transferred to my screen in the sense that the farm and fields now appear on my screen in the cab without me actually inputting any info. However the actual job (rec) is not on my screen . Apparently, as it's a flat rate spray job , unless the agronomist sent it as a prescription map for each field , Agfiniti does not actually save the rec. I still need a print out of the rec or look at the e mail for the actual rec. This is not what I was hoping for . I had assumed that somewhere on my screen would be a "jobs" folder which I could select ,but it's not possible. If the job like liquid fert is variable and if sent as a shape file for each field, then yes I can select that file for each field without using a USB stick.
(Ps, the new Fendt system which Clive reviewed on another thread would be ideal for what I want)
So in conclusion, yes got gatekeeper transferred to Agfiniti and onto my sprayer screen and guess it will work in reverse but not proven yet . However, I've got field names and boundaries auto loaded but not the actual rec. Still waiting and hoping that someone from Precise Solutions will come (as promised!) to help us get the system working properly.

Thanks for the update Sounds promising if they get it sorted
I’m using a tablet for recs but not keen on the whole cache manager thing it’s always a bit of a worry there will be no data to bring back

Thought I had better update this thread however nothing new has changed really.
I went to Australia for 6 weeks late December and unfortunately missed a meeting set up by a few Agrii agonomists for people using Batemans and Agleader products in Somerset/ Devon . They had people from Precise Solution's,Agleader and I think Bateman and operators who want to get more out of the kit and try to get more automated and less paperwork. From what I hear , it was useful but the conclusion at the moment is that at present, no way of getting gatekeeper recs into In -Command like you can do with My J Deere. According to Agleader guy, it's on the "list of jobs to do" but it's not a priority.
Anymore news or updates and I will post.
As an aside, I am hoping to finally start on liquid N using VR files for fields later this week. In the past this was done via a USP stick in the box but hopefully this year I can download from the cloud via Agfinity . See what happens !

Was at that meeting as you mentioned can't email from gatekeeper to agleader. Agleader are working with john deere on linking them together so the gatekeeper and agleader on the back seat at the mo so i have signed up to gatekeeper express cloud based system so don't have to by software trying it for a year

Just an update, had a guy from Precise Solutions [thanks Sam ]last week who updated my screen and updated Agfiniti also. Been doing V Rate liquid fert and all the prescriptions and maps sucessfully uploaded from Gatekeeper on to my Agfiniti a/c by agronomist and in cab I can access them onto screen and he can then in reverse get my application maps,weather times etc so basically working well.
Also did an upgrade of my On Trac 3 steering and thats also improved.
Just to add, this is on a June 2019 machine ie only 8 months old so important to keep up with the upgrades.
 
Hi. In nz we are in a similar boat with agleader. We can make great spray maps but want to be able to transfer the data back to a program like gatekeeper. And also get spray recs to come in to the head unit.

you can see that will all happen one day but we want it now!! ?
