Precision Machining — Myth or Reality

The experience of Trimble - the leader in navigations in BulgariaOne of the most important goals of farmers during the spring campaign is efficient use of resourcesWhat can be achieved through better refinement of processing. For many years, the American manufacturer Trimble has been a leader in the field ofprecision farming, precisely thanks to the navigation and control technologies of tractors and inventory that lead tohigher machining accuracy and higher profitabilityof the farm. Trimble's solutions are largely focused on the automation of the various agricultural processes, thus saving time and resources for their implementation, without affecting the quality of work and the final result.Control of sections and spray normWhen we talk about spraying, the application of the right amount of detergent in the right placeis extremely important. The Trimble Field IQ material control system is a great solution to help ensure the correct use of detergents. The technology allows automatic section controlon both self-propelled and attachment sprayers. The system manages the spray rateandanalyzes in real time the amount of detergent consumed, as well as the amount spent on a specific block or group of blocks.Precision farming with navigation display TMX-2050An even higher level of automation and accuracy can be achieved by combining the Trimble Field-iQ system with the TMX-2050 navigation display. In this way, the mechanics can automatically control the sprinkler sections and the height of the rods. And farmers can monitor work in real time and, if necessary, transfer tasks to and from the field via wireless technology or the USB port built into the navigation display.Automate processing with Trimble Autopilot and NextSwath™ technology Toeliminate overlapswhen spraying, yes optimize costsFor liquid fertilizers and preparations, manpower and fuel, farmers can also rely on automatic control. One of Trimble's most functional solutions for this purpose is Trimble Autopilot control system, which automatically adjusts the position of the machine to follow the navigation line, regardless of the peculiarities of the plot and terrain. A combination ofTrimble Autopilot control system, navigation display TMX-2050and NextSwath™ automatic turn technologyallows machines to turn automatically at the end of the rowon the best trajectory, while at the same timeautomatically turn off sections, where necessary. In this way, not only eliminates the danger of errors, but they also prevents crop damage. Automation of the treatments allows the farmer to keep the machine on line and in the meantime focus on other tasks. Operator fatigue decreases and the profitability of treatments increases.More efficient use of preparationsAn additional method by which farmers canMore efficient use of materials, is throughVariable Rate Treatments (VRA). They are carried out after preliminary soil and plant sampling and analysis of the samples taken. Based on the results of the analyzes, a prescription from an agronomist and VRA maps are drawn up, which can be easily loaded into the navigation display. The method allows spraying and fertilizing, according to the specific needs of the soil and plants, thus maximizes the effect of the materials used and limits the impact on the environment.The implementation of the VRA helpsISOBUS technology, which allows farmers to obtain information from the inventory and manage it through the navigation display. The technology is compatible with any tractor and any inventoryand also allows automatic control of sections.Until a few years ago, precision machining and farm automation seemed like another myth in the field of agriculture. However, with the development of new technologies, precision farming solutions are becoming more accessible and easier to work with. The myth has now not only become a reality, but it is also proving good results for farmers around the world.
