SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) is now connected with the John Deere Operations
Center through John Deere's API services. This connection allows
Trimble to enhance the value of its Connected Farm® and Farm Works
Software® solutions—Trimble's web-based and desktop farm management
solutions—by downloading as-applied and yield task data from
Operations Center. The integration provides farmers the ability to
make more informed decisions by sharing data across platforms to
manage their information.
"Through this initiative, Trimble expands its data footprint in
precision agriculture and continues to manage and collect data with
a mixed fleet of vehicles and implements," said Darren Howie, general manager of Trimble's
Agriculture Business Solutions. "Whether it's seed variety
locations, fertilizer rates, or harvest data, our customers can now
import even more valuable information on a timely basis and make
decisions based on activities carried out by John Deere precision
ag solutions."
"This new data exchange will save us a lot of time transferring
files between the field and office, allowing us to use our farm
data more efficiently. It's breaking down barriers that allow us to
make decisions better and faster," said Doug Palen, a grain farmer in Kansas who uses Trimble's Farm Works along
with John Deere solutions.
The connection between Trimble solutions and the John Deere
Operations Center allows more accurate records, eliminates
duplicate data entry and gives farmers a better understanding of
their production costs. Data can be accessed online using Trimble's
Connected Farm or from the desktop using Farm Works Software. From
there, farmers can choose to share information with a trusted
advisor to assist in creating fertility prescriptions, variable
rate irrigation plans or other cost saving strategies.
Trimble's Connected Farm interfaces with other third-party
platforms including: MapShots AgStudio® software, Raven Slingshot®
system, DuPont Pioneer Encirca℠ services, and AGCO VarioDoc and
AgCommand® systems.
