Precea precision air seeder

The AmaCheck in-cab terminal was specially developed for monitoring the Precea Special and its mechanical singling drive and mechanical fertiliser metering system. No ISOBUS system is required on the tractor. The terminal is very clearly laid out and can be conveniently operated. 

Functions of the AmaCheck:

• Precise monitoring of the seed placement accuracy
• Fill level monitoring
• Speed display
• Hectare meter

AMAZONE offers an optimum solution for the Precea Special without ISOBUS control in the shape of the AmaScan 2 in-cab terminal. The simple operation is the tailored solution for machine operation without ISOBUS and yet still provides a high level of comfort. AmaScan 2 offers even more functions than the AmaCheck operator terminal.

Functions of AmaScan 2: 

• Precise monitoring of the seed placement accuracy 
• Fill level monitoring 
• Speed display 
• Hectare meter 
• Fertiliser monitoring 
• Incorporation of a micro-granular applicator

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 solution for precise placement is offered by the individual row shut-off of the Precea. This enables each row to be controlled and individually switched off or on. This means that a considerable amount of seed is saved, especially in wedge shaped fields and on the headland. Each row corresponds to a switchable part-width section.

1. Virtual headland
2. Field application maps for different seed rates are also possible
3. Worked area
4. 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, also at night or at higher  
• speeds 
• Fewer overlaps and gaps 
• Saving on input costs 
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

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

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 

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. 

• Automatic display of the camera image on AmaTron 4 when reversing

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 has developed the operator-friendly AmaTron 4, which offers a noticeably smoother operational process, 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. A swipe of the finger or use of the App carousel allows quick changes between applications and the simple and clearly structured operating menu. 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.

The benefits of AmaPilot⁺:

• Almost all the functions directly to hand via the 3 levels 
• Adjustable palm rest 
• Freely available key assignment

With AmaTron Connect, AMAZONE provides a digital interface to a smartphone or tablet. The mobile device is simply connected to the AmaTron 4 as a hotspot. AmaTron Connect enables use of the AmaTron Twin App.

AmaTron Twin App
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 
• Clear, authentic representation of the working machine and its part-width sections
