JLT Mobile
Computers Selected by Steketee for Smart Farming Precision
Agriculture Solutions to Increase Farmers' Efficiency
The Steketee
partnership is an important milestone in JLT's long-term commitment
to develop rugged computer solutions for the agriculture
industry
Växjö, Sweden, November
13th,
2017 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, a
leading developer and manufacturer of reliable computers for
demanding environments, announces that it has entered into a
partnership with Machinefabriek Steketee B.V., who are using JLT
VERSO(TM)+ 10 rugged computers to integrate their Smart
Farming solutions for precision agriculture. Steketee is a leading
developer of high-tech weeding and soil cultivation machines, used
by arable farmers and horticulturalists worldwide.
Leveraging its extensive experience in the
agriculture industry, Steketee develops innovative Smart Farming
solutions that increase farmers' efficiency and improve crop yields
through the use of IT. Their IC-Light hoeing solution uses a
high-definition integrated camera to detect crops in the field and
to render a digital image that can be used to detect cultivated
crops and enable hoeing machine alignment with outstanding
accuracy. The digital image can also be used to measure green
surfaces, capture discolorations or count crops. Integrating the
IC-Light solution with the rugged VERSO+ 10 computer from JLT
Mobile Computers brings exceptional reliability and high computing
performance.
The rugged VERSO+ 10 computer deployed in
Steketee cultivation solutions is designed to withstand significant
temperature changes, severe vibrations, bright sunlight and is IP65
dust and waterproof, making it ideal for use in the agriculture
industry.
"The compact format, high performance and great
resistance to wear and tear make the rugged PCs from JLT very
suitable to our needs," confirms the R&D Director at Steketee.
"The ease with which they can be mounted and dismounted in the
farmers' tractors is another great advantage as this simplifies
service and allows devices to be ported between tractors or removed
at the end of the working day to prevent theft."
Featuring the revolutionary JLT PowerTouch(TM)
display technology, the VERSO+ 10 computer provides a
user-friendly experience comparable to modern consumer devices -
both with a gloved and ungloved hand - while being virtually
unbreakable. The clear and bright projected capacitive touch screen
makes it perfectly readable in any conditions, including direct
sunlight, enabling real-time visualization of field mapping
information right in the field.
