AmaTron 4 ISOBUS terminal

Software for all - from simple ISOBUS machine control to precision farming functions - the AmaTron 4 offers a wide variety of optional software licenses for any challenge. All licenses are pre-installed on the AmaTron 4 and can be tested free of charge or activated directly for a fee.

GPS-Maps&Doc with data exchange via the AmaTron Share App

With the GPS-Maps&Doc license, the AmaTron 4 can gather and document both machine data and georeferenced data via Task Controller (TC). Job data, such as field boundaries or application maps, can be imported and processed conveniently in either the ISO-XML or Shape file format using the main import menu. The motto here is: work first, then save or delete.

After importing an application map, you can immediately start work in the field without having to create a job in advance. 

When the task is finished, the job can be saved on the terminal or exported in either ISO-XML or PDF format. The ISO-XML Export can then be imported into a Farm Management Information system for documentation purposes. The PDF Export can be saved. A PDF report can be created for each job for documentation purposes.

• The AmaTron Share App, which is connected to the AmaTron 4 via Wi-Fi, allows all data to be imported and exported easily online.

The automatic part-width section control, GPS-Switch from AMAZONE enables GPS-based, fully automatic part-width section control for your ISOBUS machinery. In automatic mode, the part-width sections are switched on and off automatically in wedge shaped fields, at headlands or on field boundaries. This reduces the driver's workload, as well as input costs due to fewer overlaps and misses. Increased precision in field work. GPS-Switch is divided into the GPS-Switch basic and GPS-Switch pro licenses, and these are characterized by different functionalities.

GPS-Switch basic

• Automatic part-width section control for up to 16 part-width sections
• Generation of a virtual headland
• GPS-based recording of the worked area
• Generation of field boundaries

MORE than ISOBUS

• AMAZONE fertilization: parabolic switching of the part-width sections and HeadlandControl headland management
• AMAZONE plant protection: automatic boom lowering
• AMAZONE seeding: MultiSwitch - single row switching for up to 16 part-width sections for fertilizer, seed and microgranules

GPS-Switch pro (as an extension of GPS-Switch basic)

• Section Control with up to 128 part-width sections and for up to 2 independent, ISOBUS-enabled machines
• Obstacle-marking, e.g. water holes, tile risers
• Auto-zoom when approaching the headland
• MultiBoom - individual switching times via Section Control up to a maximum of 4 booms 
• Spot spraying

In crop protection, individual nozzle shut-offs and GPS-Switch allows 20 in (50 cm) part-width sections to be activated automatically. This reduces the degree of overlap significantly, up to 85% less in comparison with conventional part-width section control (depending on the field size, working width and the number of part-width sections).

MultiBoom allows the metering units for the various hoppers to be switched on and off at staggered intervals via GPS-Switch pro during seeding, thereby avoiding overlaps and gaps in the materials being applied. The staggered switching of the fertilizer coulters, sowing coulters and micro-granular applicator is visualized on the AmaTron 4 by the part-width section status.

The GPS-Track parallel guide assistant facilitates orientation in the field, especially on grassland where there are no tramlines. Passes are clearly displayed and numbered in the A-B Line and Contour line driving track modes. Deviation from the ideal line and clear steering recommendations are displayed by the light-bar in the status bar on the AmaTron 4, see image on the right.

GPS-Track also enables ISOBUS Level 1 tramline control for seed drills, as an alternative to tramline control via track markers or a working position sensor and as an option for working in fields.

The AmaTron Twin App provides the driver with even more comfort while working, since the GPS functions in the map view can also be used via a mobile device, such as a tablet, while monitoring machine operation in the AmaTron 4.

Advantages of the AmaTron Twin display enhancement:

• Use of an existing, mobile device 
• Greater clarity – all applications in view 
• Convenient control of the GPS functions in the map view, simultaneously, via the mobile device
• Clear, authentic representation of the working machine and its part width sections

GPS-ScenarioControl is an enhancement of the AmaTron Twin license, for which you will also need the AmaTron Twin. This terminal software allows the driver to automate complex and recurring switching processes in the field.

The routing function of the GPS-ScenarioControl facilitates machine orientation in the field. In addition, in combination with AMAZONE ISOBUS fertilization, certain switching operations (edge, boundary, water-course spreading and HeadlandControl) can be automated, which prevents operator error.

Advantages with GPS-ScenarioControl: 

• Simplify work by playing back a previously recorded scenario
• Use the same switching operations across different fertilizer applications
• Prevents operating errors 
• Use the same route for all crop care applications in the field to prevent making a wrong turn and driving over the crop
