ZG-TS trailed spreader

GPS ScenarioControl can be used in conjunction with the AmaTron 4 ISOBUS operator terminal and the AmaTron Twin App.

"GPS-ScenarioControl from Amazone helps to avoid mistakes when selecting the border spreading system as well as unnecessary wheel tracks." ("profi" - Practical test "Going to the border with the App" 01/2022)

Support for needs-based fertilisation

When applying fertiliser, drivers have to juggle various tasks. Firstly, they need to ensure optimal lateral distribution of the material to be spread, as well as maintaining the desired application rate of the fertiliser. Secondly, they must ensure that the most appropriate border spreading mode is used alongside ditches, footpaths or field boundaries, to guarantee legally compliant and precise fertilisation. This can lead to operator errors, especially when changing drivers, as the right border spreading procedure is not activated or deactivated in the right place. Lack of driver knowledge can also lead to non-compliance when applying fertilisers.

Automation of complex switching processes and reduction of driver workload 
 

In the following application, the driver only needs to activate the previously plotted scenario and the fertiliser spreader will automatically perform the saved switching processes. GPS ScenarioControl enables the precise, resource-efficient use of fertiliser, as the various spreading procedures are performed in exactly the right places. This ensures that any subsequent applications by other drivers are legally compliant. In addition, drivers can use the pre-plotted, optimised field route as a guide.

 Field with complete route planning and saved, geo-referenced scenarios

Record and store the right driving strategy
 

When crossing the field for the first time with the fertiliser spreader, all the switching points, driving route and driving direction can be automatically plotted by an experienced driver using GPS ScenarioControl, by pushing the record button. The switching points are clearly marked on the map and the driving direction is visualised with arrows. GPS ScenarioControl is integrated in the AmaTron 4 ISOBUS operator terminal and can be viewed and operated via the AmaTron Twin display extension.

The advantages at a glance:

• Always the same switching processes with different fertiliser applications 
  – Prevention of operator errors 
  – Legally compliant and resource-efficient fertiliser application guaranteed  
  – Correct application in poor visibility, e.g. darkness or fog
• No flattening of crops because routes in the field are always optimised
  – Supports inexperienced drivers

"The tool gives farm managers the certainty that their drivers are spreading fertiliser next to ditches and paths in compliance with the law as well as optimising yields in other respects. This is particularly interesting when the drivers frequently change or when the boss wants to entrust the fertilisation to e.g. his trainees."

AMATRON Twin App – extended display for user-friendly operation

The AmaTron Twin App offers the driver even more comfort during work, as any GPS functions in the map view can also be operated via a tablet in parallel with the machine operation on the AmaTron 4.

Advantages of the AmaTron Twin display enhancement: 

• Use of an existing mobile device  
• Greater clarity – all applications in view 
• Comfortable control of GPS functions in the map view in parallel via the mobile device 
• Clear, authentic representation of the machine in work and its part-width sections

The AmaTron Share App, which is connected to the AmaTron 4 via a Wi-Fi hotspot, allows all data to be conveniently imported and exported online. For example, the App enables application maps to be easily sent from the office to the AmaTron 4 for completion. Job data can also be sent to customers or back to the office as PDF documentation via the cloud, email or using a messenger service, such as WhatsApp, after job has been completed. This is user-friendly data management!
