Having different machinery and computer functions work together requires a standardised data communication system. Without it, single electronics-based solutions may not be compatible. Enabling interconnectivity between the wide range of equipment and systems found in many farms today optimises efficiency and productivity. A standardised ISOBUS makes this possible worldwide by integrating systems such as those used for tractors, for example sprayers, as well as farm management computers..
The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF), founded by several agri-machinery associations worldwide, aims to establish such high standards in global electronics. This joint effort represents a commitment to the further development of compatible systems at an international level, which ultimately serve to help farmers worldwide achieve maximum returns through the optimal use of technical solutions.
What this means for the farmer is that he is able to choose any equipment with the guarantee that it will be compatible with what he is already using. ISOBUS also extends the possibilities of precision farming through 'more intelligent' functions and GPS data integration. In addition, ISOBUS automates machinery and implements settings for different operations, thus combining the tractor, mounted implements and terminal into a system with the qualities of a self-propelled machine.

At Agritechnica, the ISOBUS standard is presented under the theme “ISOBUS LIVE”. Proofing engineers and experts from the DLG are available together with representatives from the AEF in hall 17 D43a to explain the latest technologies and developments through the entire duration of the exhibition. Additionally, several forums (some in English) address future ISOBUS developments and their practical applicability. Forum 2 entitled “Technology and Management” deals specifically with ISOBUS issues. View the Technical programme at www.agritechnica.com for further details.
