The Precision of Precision Farming

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Precision farming technology continues to change and advance our farming practices. Auto-guidance, auto-steer and a host of other GPS-guided systems improve accuracy and efficiency in operating tractors and equipment.  Even the best technology can suffer from disruptions, decreasing the accuracy or signal reliability.  Correction services can vastly improve the efficiency and precision of your precision farming systems, helping you maximize your time, inputs and yields.

DigiFarm has been a proven leader in providing correction services across the Midwest via cellular based RTK.  The multi-base network provides sub-inch pass to pass and year to year repeatability. DigiFarm VBN (Virtual Base Network) provides maximum accuracy and reliability by delivery corrections through a network of virtual base stations, using a wireless connection to secure servers.

DigiFarm is compatible with all major brands of GPS receivers, making it easy for users to efficiently move the DigiFarm beacon between multiple different systems or brands. The plug and play system allows for easy set-up and transferability. The true virtual base station constantly updates your position for extreme accuracy.

A vast network of DigiFarm base stations send data via the internet into central servers where the data is processed for clients to use. A cellular modem is installed in the tractor cab and is connected to the GPS receiver so that a wireless data connection can be established between the tractor GPS receiver and the DigiFarm servers.

The GPS receiver on the tractor sends its position into the DigiFarm servers through the cellular modem. The DigiFarm servers respond by creating a virtual base station in close proximity to the tractor and transmitting corrections to the tractor’s GPS receiver through the cellular modem. By creating a virtual base station for each vehicle that logs into the network, DigiFarm is able to offer superior accuracy compared to that of a single base RTK provider. This also provides exceptional redundancy and reliability.
