A look at 2016 from the NIK's point of view

Check out the top topics in Precision Agriculture in Bulgaria for 2016A year from Nick's point of view!

Tractors are already turning on their own

And this year we continued to work on automation of Bulgarian farms, introducing NextSwath technologyon Trimble. In combination with navigation display TMX 2050and control system Trimble Autopilot, this technology allows machines to turn on their own at the end of the row, as well as controlling the inventory. Thus, overlaps are minimized and farmers achieve maximum processing efficiency.

The new Berthoud Raptor

The latest model self-propelled sprayerof the French technological leader in precision spraying BERTHOUD arrived in Bulgariain the summer and performed successfully at numerous demonstrations on various terrains. In addition to changes in appearance, the machine also has modifications in the hydraulic system, improvements in the cabin, chassis and suspension, as well as hydraulically adjustable ground clearance.

Updated machine monitoring service — FarmTrack

In this year NIK monitoring machinery and fuel adopted the name FarmTrack, and with it came a renewed interface, intuitive design and a convenient mobile application. FarmTrack enables fleet monitoring, workflow control, fuel monitoring, report generation and much more.

The new face of Technofarm

IN agricultural software TechnoFarmthere was alsoa number of improvementswhich made the administration of the farm even easier, including mobile app, working in direct connection with the “Map” Module.

Software solutions for the digitalization of the farm

From the autumn of 2016 satellite crop imaging program GeoScanalready offers extended shooting period, visualization of data from weather stationsand phenological calendar, which gives an answer to the question of whether the weather is to blame for the weak areas in the field.

Variable-rate treatments

The main focus of the presentation of NIK during the National Agro Seminar of NAZ in December, was fertilizing and spraying with a variable rateand the efficiency that we can achieve when fertilizing or spraying with the right amount in the right place. It appears that this isThe focus for next year, since ASKThe approach is not only increases profitabilityto farmers, but also limits the excess distribution of preparations, thus take care of the environment.

For NIK, 2016 was also the year in which we expanded and reached the Romanian market.

And what is coming in 2017?

We continue to develop software solutions and technologies for precision agriculture and work for the automation and digitalization of processes in Bulgarian farms!
