Ag Leader, an agricultural technology company, has introduced a new cloud-based platform called AgFiniti that allows dealers and farmers to remotely monitor planting operations in real-time on any device. The system provides live maps and row-by-row data, giving users insight into the planting process and the ability to quickly address any issues that arise.

Why it matters

This new technology from Ag Leader gives farmers and dealers greater visibility and control over planting operations, which are a critical part of the crop production cycle. Being able to remotely monitor planting progress and performance can help optimize efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure proper execution of this vital agricultural task.

The details

The AgFiniti platform connects the planting display in the tractor cab to cloud-based software that can be accessed on smartphones, tablets, and other devices. This allows the farmer or dealer to view live maps showing exactly what is happening with the planter, row by row. They can monitor planting speed, seed placement, and other key metrics without having to be physically present in the field.

  • The new AgFiniti platform was introduced at Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas, a couple weeks ago.

What they’re saying

“We're introducing live maps on any device. This is a planting operation, which we're showing here. You're able to see that live map from that planting display on this iPad device here or mobile device. From a farm manage standpoint, if you're the operator but you're not in the cab, and you want to check in and see how progress is going in that operation, through live maps you can pull out your phone and see exactly what's happening in that planter. You can see row by row detail on what's happening across the planter. It gives you the insight and confidence that everything is working as it should. I don't have to call them; I can see it right on my phone. It allows me if there is an issue, I can address it and move from there.”
