One language, many benefits!
Each ISOBUS-enabled machine from AMAZONE comes with the latest technology and almost unlimited possibilities. It makes no difference whether you use an operator terminal from AMAZONE or an ISOBUS terminal fitted directly in the tractor. ISOBUS is an internationally recognised standard for communication between the operator terminal, tractors and connected implements on the one hand and Farm Management Information Systems on the other.

Operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals

Which means that ISOBUS enables you to take control of all your ISOBUS compatible equipment. You only have to connect the machine to the respective ISOBUS terminal and the usual operator interface appears on the monitor in your tractor cab.

Benefits of ISOBUS at a glance:

• International standardisation provides uniform interfaces and data formats, meaning that compatibility with other manufacturers is ensured
• Plug and Play between the machine, tractor and other ISOBUS equipment

AMAZONE machinery and operator terminals offer a range of functions which are very easy and safe to operate.

The benefits:

• Highest compatibility and safety function of your ISOBUS equipment
• No additional modules on the machine side. All ISOBUS machines from AMAZONE come ready-equipped with the necessary ISOBUS functions as standard
• Practice-oriented machine software and logical menu structure
• MiniView display with all AMAZONE terminals and additional ISOBUS terminals. See, for example, the machine data in the map view.
• Possibility of operating the machine via the tractor terminal or a twin terminal solution
• Flexible assignment of the map and machine view between the tractor terminal and the operator terminal
• Unique operation concept. Freely-configurable displays and individual user interfaces for each driver
• Useful additional functions such as automatic boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers
• Integrated Task Controller data logger function

Advantages of the AMAZONE machine software:

• User-oriented and intuitive
• Tailored to the machine
• Function scope above and beyond the ISOBUS standard

Precise sowing is very important, in order to avoid over- and under-sowing in critical areas. A remedy for accurate placement is offered by the half-side control, which reduces the overall working width to half so that a significant saving is achieved, especially in wedge shaped fields and on the headland. The two halves of the drill each correspond to one controllable part-width section.

1. Virtual headland
2. Field application maps for different seed rates are also possible
3. Worked area
4. With half-side shut-off
5. The seeder automatically switches off precisely

If the operating terminal facilitates Section Control, such as GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections are activated completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.

Benefits of automatic part-width section control: 

• Stress relief on the driver 
• Increase in precision especially at night or at higher speeds 
• Fewer overlaps and gaps 
• Saving on input costs 
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

GPS-Switch
With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.

GPS-Switch basic 

• Automatic part-width section control of up to 16 part-width sections 
• Creation of virtual headlands 
• Automated boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

GPS-Switch pro (as an extension of GPS-Switch basic) 

• Automatic part-width section control with up to 128 part-width sections, in particular for crop protection sprayers with individual nozzle control 
• Marking obstacles (e.g. water holes, pylons) 
• Auto-zoom when approaching the headland 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

• Automatic determination of the conveying time of seed flow from the metering unit to the sowing coulter
• Minimisation of misses and overlaps for good field hygiene 
• Minimisation of the disease pressure results in fewer plant protection measures and simultaneous cost reduction

1. 2.7 sec.
2. 3.3 sec.
3. Metering unit
4. AutoPoint sensor

All standard ISOBUS terminals from AMAZONE can collect and save machine and site-specific data using Task Controller. Part-area, site-specific operation via application maps in either Shape file or ISO-XML formats is also possible.

• Easy creation, loading and processing of jobs
• Start a new task straight away and decide later whether the data is saved or not
• Import and export of jobs in ISO-XML format
• Job summary via PDF export
• Intuitive system for processing application maps in the Shape file format and ISO-XML format
• Automatic part-area, site-specific regulation of the application rate
• Indication of inactive field boundaries and automatic field detection when approaching the area
• Optimum crop management through needs-based application

The GPS-Track parallel guidance greatly helps with orientation in the field, especially on grassland or in areas without tramlines.

• With a virtual light bar in the status bar 
• Automatic tramline control via GPS for seed drills 
• Various track modes such as A-B lines or contour following 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

Software licence for the display of one camera image on AmaTron 4 and up to two camera images on AmaPad 2.

• Software licence for displaying a camera image on AmaTron 4

Simple and convenient operation, as intuitive as your tablet: Why not handle a terminal as intuitively as a tablet or a smartphone? With this in mind, AMAZONE developed the highly intuitive and operator-friendly AmaTron 4 which offers a noticeably smoother operation, especially when it comes to job management. AmaTron 4, with its 8" multi-touch colour display, meets the highest demands and offers you maximum user-friendliness. Via a finger swipe or the App carousel, one quickly navigates from application to application and to the clearly and simply structured operator terminal. The practical MiniView, a freely configurable status bar and an integrated light bar make the AmaTron 4 exceptionally easy and convenient to use.

Benefits of AmaTron 4:

• Automatic full screen mode when not in use
• Automatic control button display via a proximity sensor
• Practical MiniView concept
• Actuation via multi-touch colour display or soft keys
• Especially intuitive and user-friendly
• Field-related documentation
• Practice oriented and intelligent menu navigation
• Practical quick-start menu with import and export of job data, help windows, day/night mode and the AUX-N assignment
• One camera input and automatic reversing detection
• Free test phase for all chargeable licences
• AmaTron Connect – for optional entry into the digital age

Thanks to the AUX-N feature, you can operate multiple functions on the machine via AmaPilot⁺ or any other ISOBUS multi-function joysticks.

AmaTron Twin App – Clear display enhancement
The AmaTron Twin App offers the driver even more comfort in work, as GPS functions in the map view can also be operated via a mobile device, e.g. tablet, in parallel with machine operation in 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
