ST. LOUIS, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and CNH Industrial
(NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI), a global leader in agricultural equipment,
announced today that they are enabling wireless connectivity
between Trimble® Ag
Software and Case IH Advanced Farming Systems (AFS)
Connect™ and New Holland Precision Land Management (PLM)
Connect telematics platforms in North
America. The collaboration enables Trimble and CNH Industrial to integrate their
cloud-based software solutions to help farmers make more informed
decisions with their farm data.
The announcement was made at the InfoAg Conference.
This new functionality will streamline the flow of data from the
cab to the office by giving farmers more accurate field records,
eliminating duplicate data entry and a better understanding of
their production costs. Data can be accessed from many places,
including online, desktop and mobile sources. Farmers can choose to
share information with a trusted advisor to assist in creating
fertility prescriptions, variable rate irrigation plans or other
cost saving strategies.
"Allowing Case IH and New Holland customers to seamlessly
transfer their task data into Trimble Ag Software aligns well with
Trimble's continued focus on
providing a complete solution for growers to manage a mixed fleet
of vehicles and implements," said Darren
Howie, general manager of Trimble's Agriculture Business Solutions.
"Whether it's planting, application or harvest data, our customers
now can import even more valuable information on a timely basis and
make decisions based on activities carried out by their Case IH and
New Holland precision ag solutions."
Both AFS Connect (Case IH) and PLM Connect (New Holland) are
telematics systems designed to transfer data wirelessly, securely
and remotely between farm equipment and trusted farm management
software, services or advisers.
"Our customers are making the most of their agronomic data and
we are making a strong effort to give them extensive options for
seamless and secure wireless transferability," said Joe Michaels, senior director of Product
Management for CNH Industrial Precision Solutions and Telematics.
"This connection to Trimble is yet
another major option for our customers who want to move their data
securely and quickly in order to make the most of it."
