Technology is more and more present on the daily basis of the farmer. One of them is Telemetry. Due to Precision Agriculture, it collects and shares the machine data remotely. With these safe and precise pieces of information, you can monitor the farm operations in real-time.

Telemetria Stara is equipped with various tools to help with farm management. As a result, it reduces costs, optimizes the fleet and increases productivity When the farmer acquires a Stara machine, the technology is included already.

To show the Telemetry advantages, the Agrinova dealer in the town of Palmeiras das Missões/RS released the system on a machine for demonstration. According to Jorge Fernando Pfeiffer Prates, administrative and commercial manager at Agrinova, the technology has been impressing the customers. “The experience has been amazing. We managed to get what was going on in the crop field to the customer’s office. Telemetria Stara advantages are remarkable. They have been positively received by the customers, explains Fernando.

Check out five reasons to use Telemetria Stara:

The drop in costs and higher crop field yield

Telemetria Stara provides the summary of the daily operations carried out by the machine and with information on the machine speed, application overlap, operating yield, applied rate, fuel consumption, the temperature of the engine and hydraulic oil, and the path the machine travelled.

Thus, the farmer can see the status of the operations; If the machine is operating normally and as planned. As a consequence, helping to optimize the processes and drop the sudden costs. For example, you can set up the values for alerts to speeds and overlap for planters, sprayers and spreaders to prevent product waste and boost crop field yield.

It helps the logistic planning of operations

It is possible to monitor the fleet more efficiently. Through the stop reasons logging, the farmer can have a full report about the stopped machine time and its availability for better usage. In addition to following the path the machine travelled and planning new paths.

For example, it is possible to see that, when supplying the machine on point X, and is causing a longer stop time because you need to move the machines to a place outward from the original path. Thereby, it would be more practical to park the machine on point Y, which will ensure better operating traffic. The stop reasons enable assertive decision-making based on the stopped time of the machine.

Sharing information

Stara understands that the data created by the machine belong to the customer. And they can see this information provided when it is more convenient. For this reason, Telemetria Stara allows the connection with partner software companies. Thus, the customer can see the data on the platform they use are used to, and provide more comfort and practicality.

This integration is easy and ensures data safety. Topper sends the information by means of an API, and then to the cloud that stores and encodes it. From this point on, the partner software receives an access key for this information. Then, it can extract all machine data automatically.

Another way to perform this integration is by a CAN network, in which the farmer extracts all data directly from the machine and makes it available to the partner software.

The variable rate maps are easy to be sent

Among the Precision Agriculture practices are the variable rate maps, as much for seeds as fertilizer. To use these maps, Telemetria Stara sends information directly to Topper without the need for a flash drive and travelling. The maps can be uploaded to Telemetria Portal by service providers who create these maps. As a consequence, the operations are faster and more practical.

For the agronomic engineer and consultant, Moises Chiamenti of the city of Curitiba/PR, the map sending has made the operations more practical: “Being able to send the files online, from the computer to Topper helps a lot for sure. The service is faster and the day-by-day follow-up is more practical.”

Telemetria Stara application

Additionally, it is possible to check the path of the machines, the operation summary, view maps, and so many other functions to ease the control of machines in the crop field. Available for download App Store and Google Play.

One of the features is the alerts to follow the machine operations even if the farmer is far away. The settings are carried out as each area needs by following technical instructions. Machines with an electronic engine have alerts preset by the factory for engine and hydraulic oil temperature.

The alerts are displayed as notifications on the cell phone or tablet and are activated when the machine exceeds the “high” and “critical” values set.
