New system improves operation productivityTrimble has introduced its Web-based Agriculture Manager asset management system which combines Global Positioning Systems (GPS), machine sensors and automated wireless communications that allows farmers to more efficiently manage and operate large machinery fleets. The new Trimble Agriculture Manager system is designed to help farming operations, agriculture retailers and others automatically track their fleet's precise GPS location, operating status and real-time productivity--all critical factors during peak fieldwork seasons. The Agriculture Manager system is part of Trimble's Connected Farm suite of information management tools. Connected Farm solutions take the stress out of data management through seamless field-to-office information management. Trimble's Agriculture Manager system offers fleet managers a range of map views and field reports via their desktop computers. Information may include real-time location to improve "next job" dispatching, run time versus down time, machine hours for servicing and spray tank levels. Operators can track the day's productivity with sensors that log spray pump or combine separator "on versus off" times, and alerts can be created when a vehicle enters or exits a pre-defined area. The system can also automatically notify fleet managers via cell phone if key events occur, such as vehicle servicing required, sprayer needs refilling or ignition off. One or two-way data messaging is available via a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) in the field vehicle. For more information, call 800-865-7438, or visit www.trimble.com. 4/28/08 Date: 4/22/08
