Homburg further into smart farming

Homburg Holland has been independently developing smart solutions for precision farming applications such as tool, leveling, and plow control. The company showcases three SmartSOLUTIONS innovations during the upcoming Agritechnica trade fair, this common November in Hanover, Germany.

The first innovation is the ISOBUS section-switching SmartCONTROL USC. Based on the Homburg SmartCONTROL system, with the addition of I/O modules, up to 48 sections can now be controlled with 12V. Each I/O module can serve up to a maximum of 8 sections and provide up to 3A per section. SmartCONTROL USC connects to the tractor via the ISOBUS socket and is compatible with almost every ISOBUS VT-display with TC (TaskController) functionality.

Second is compatibility of the SmartSTEER tool control with the latest generation of Case IH and New Holland tractors with GPS preparation. With this, Homburg offers a Plug & Play tool control solution that seamlessly integrates into the latest Case IH AFS Pro 1200 displays and/or New Holland IntelliView 12 monitors via ISOBUS UT.

Third is SmartSTOPnGO, an ISOBUS-based grid module primarily used for tree planting. The new two-channel variant, for instance, allows for the addition of fertilizer or the placement of poles in the row. SmartSTOPnGO also connects via ISOBUS and can be operated on the ISOBUS RTK-display.
