John Deere has updated its Operations Centre app, allowing farmers and contractors to manage their farm data anywhere at any time with just a few clicks, even after the fieldwork is finished.
The app, which allows farmers to captures vital operational data, track jobs, manage machines, and analyse fields, has been updated to enable users to correct errors, such as if a tractor driver has accidentally documented the wrong crop variety during drilling this can easily be corrected later on.
Further adjustments are also possible for worked area, plant protection products, tank mixtures, harvest year and crop calibration on the combine, among others.
In addition, the Operations Centre offers functions for better yield analysis. Crop yields of winter wheat for example can be displayed in a bar chart in which each field is shown individually.
And a new solution to reduce machine set-up times for farmers and contractors in the field will be available shortly, and guidance lines, seed rates, application maps and other fieldwork operations can be defined on a smartphone or in the Operations Centre.
