GPS-Switch

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.


Automatic part-width section control on the virtual headland (orange border) with GPS-Switch basic. This allows the inside of the field to be worked first and then the headland, e.g. when sowing.

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.
