We are excited to launch the new FJD AG1 Guidance System an upgraded precision agriculture ecosystem designed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of the global farming community. The AG1 provides five modular solutions that range from basic steering guidance to advanced ISOBUS implement control, ensuring seamless operation and integration with modern farming machinery.
Featuring free decimeter-level positioning precision, the new AG1 boasts precise navigation and field management capabilities, enhancing efficiency and productivity while reducing overlapping and resource wastage. If you are new to precision agriculture or just seeking a comprehensive system, the AG1 offers unmatched adaptability for you to start with an entry-level configuration and scale up to a fully-featured system as your farming needs change.
Here is the breakdown of five modular solutions that the new AG1 can offer:
AG1 Standard
The AG1 Standard is a beginner-friendly solution if you're new to precision agriculture, giving you a quick gateway to smart farming technology. This entry-level guidance system supports a wireless connection with a GNSS receiver and terminal display through Wi-Fi in just 15 minutes, offering a simplified setup process that lets you start your precision farming journey with confidence.One of the standout features of the AG1 Standard is its ability to utilize multi-source satellite signals, including those from Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), Precise Point Positioning (PPP), and Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). This wide satellite coverage delivers flexible positioning accuracy ranging from decimeters to as precise as 2.5 centimeters.
Even in environments where satellite signals are obstructed or degraded, the AG1 Standard employs advanced built-in algorithms to maintain an independent sub-meter positioning accuracy, enabling consistent performance in signal-challenging areas. This removes the worry about inconsistency caused by poor satellite signals in remote farming lands.
Moreover, the AG1 Standard supports various guidance line configurations, enabling operations along straight, curved, or even complex paths. Its utilities extend to specialized tasks such as slope climbing and diagonal plowing. Such versatility makes the AG1 Standard well-suited for tricky field types, including small farming plots, terraced landscapes, and rugged hilly terrains, especially where the use of autosteering systems may not be practical.
AG1 ISOBUS Kit
The AG1 ISOBUS Kit is a cost-effective solution tailored for those seeking to maximize the benefits of ISOBUS technology without investing in expensive original ISOBUS equipment displays. Built upon the AG1 Standard system, the AG1 ISOBUS Kit offers seamless integration with ISOBUS functionalities, enabling you to efficiently manage ISOBUS-compatible implements at an affordable price point.
Certified by the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF), the AG1 ISOBUS Kit boasts compatibility with all brands and models of ISOBUS-enabled machinery and implements. This universal adaptability allows for precise control and ensures smooth operations across a wide range of equipment.
Featuring an advanced wireless ISOBUS module, the kit supports an array of essential ISOBUS functionalities, including Universal Terminal (UT) for real-time status monitoring, Task Controller Section Control (TC-SC) for section automation, and Auxiliary Control (AUX-N) for auxiliary device operations. These features not only enhance your operational efficiency but also provide versatile support for your precision agriculture management.
By incorporating this ISOBUS Kit into your operations, you can gain a great boost to your productivity and workflow while keeping costs low. Whether you're engaged in planting, fertilizing, spraying, or harvesting, the AG1 ISOBUS Kit ensures precision, automation, and streamlined control, helping you manage your agricultural activities in a more efficient way.
AG1 VCU Kit
The AG1 VCU Kit is designed to seamlessly retrofit a non-ISOBUS sprayer to work under the ISOBUS framework. The acronym VCU stands for Vehicle Control Unit, which means there will be mechanical retrofitting to the old machine. This solution empowers you to maximize the utility of your existing sprayer, eliminating the need to invest in an entirely new spraying machine.Once retrofitted, the sprayer will be fully compatible with ISOBUS, offering advanced features such as automatic control and precision task execution for more accurate application of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. This helps reduce resource waste and improve operation precision, delivering increased efficiency and value for your farming operation.
Currently, the AG1 VCU Kit is designed to be compatible exclusively with sprayers. However, plans for future development are already underway to expand its versatility and application. As part of this progression, the AG1 VCU Kit will support retrofitting for a broader range of agricultural machinery, including fertilizer spreaders, seeders, and planters, helping you integrate a variety of machines with the same advanced control system.
Upgraded Solution
Beyond the practical advantages offered by the AG1 Standard, we further provide enhanced support for autosteering control through light-duty technology upgrades. These smart enhancements can maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness, potentially saving you up to 30% when compared with investing in standalone advanced navigation kits. This means you can achieve superior precision and functionality without exceeding your budget.The upgraded solution integrates autonomous navigation for precise tractor autosteering across a broad speed range, from as slow as 0.1 km/h for meticulous tasks to as fast as 26 km/h for larger, high-speed operations. Furthermore, it supports U-turns and ISOBUS control. Together, these enhancements equip you with a robust, versatile solution that can handle over 95% of your operational needs with ease.
With this upgraded solution, you're embracing a comprehensive and flexible system that embodies the philosophy of "one system, multiple purposes," offering unparalleled adaptability for a wide range of farming activities. Whether you're planting, fertilizing, harvesting, or managing other tasks, this upgraded solution helps you get the most out of your equipment for higher productivity.
On-Board Diagnostic System
The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system is a modular component that facilitates machinery diagnosis and efficient data management. This platform enables real-time monitoring of your tractor's performance, offering detailed insight into key parameters such as fuel consumption, engine speed, engine temperature, and error codes.By tracking these critical metrics in real time, the OBD system can detect abnormal data patterns, triggering early warnings to alert you to potential issues. This early detection capability helps reduce the likelihood of costly breakdowns and prevents prolonged equipment downtime that could negatively impact farm operations.
In addition, the OBD system can be integrated seamlessly with the Farm Management System (FMS). It can automatically upload all collected data to FMS, where you can easily analyze the operating efficiency of your equipment, identify trends, and assess overall performance through visualized data display and reporting. This helps you make informed decisions for optimizing production in the future.
Furthermore, the connection between OBD and FMS saves time in data management. By consolidating all relevant farming data into a single, accessible system, the integration simplifies processes such as applying for government subsidies or grants. You can easily access the required documentation and performance records through FMS without manual record-keeping. This user-friendly approach increases the efficiency of your farm management.
