GEOFARM PRO / CONNECTED TOOLS

Guidance lines

Every pass starts with a better plan.

Design AB, curved, pivot and multiswath guidance from the field boundary. Adjust heading, working width, headlands and turning geometry to the machine and implement. Review the layout before export.

INSIDE THE TOOL

Control over the details.
Clarity for the decision.

From data preparation to final delivery, explore the controls that bring precision to planning and connect every stage of your work.

01 / GEOFARM PRO

Straight AB, A+, boundary fill and multiswath

Choose a guidance strategy for the field geometry: straight lines for parallel passes, curves to follow references and multiswath for distinct trajectories.

02 / GEOFARM PRO

Heading criteria: longest line, longest edge, wind and solar orientation

Compare working directions to prioritize long passes, edge alignment or wind and light references. Heading connects the layout to the operation’s objective.

03 / GEOFARM PRO

Effective width, overlap and initial half pass

Enter actual implement coverage and adjust overlap or initial offset. These settings determine how passes cover the field.

04 / GEOFARM PRO

Minimum radius, angular limit and headlands

Match guidance geometry to the equipment combination. Set turning radius, curve limits and headlands to prepare transitions between passes.

05 / GEOFARM PRO

External curves, smoothing and segment joining

Reuse references such as contours and terraces, then tune smoothing and segment joining to organize continuous paths.

06 / GEOFARM PRO

Time and turn analysis, validation and export

Review time, turns and geometry together. Save the project and select the output profile to bring guidance into operations.

APPLICATION SCENARIO

How it fits
into field work.

A team needs to organize planting in an irregular field. The project allows review of heading, headlands and turning space before sending guidance to the autosteer terminal.

  1. Prepare the foundationField boundary, machine combination and working width.
  2. Configure and reviewEffective width, overlap and initial half pass. Minimum radius, angular limit and headlands.
  3. Validate the deliverableGuidance project and report for review and export.

PRECISION YOU CAN MEASURE

Autosteer + guidance planning

Design guidance lines, headlands and turns in GeoFarm Pro and deliver the plan to a compatible guidance system. Compare seed or other applied input costs and machine hours on the same area.

CONVENTIONAL → PRECISION AGRICULTURE

One application with the same area, speed and rate. Fuel is already included in hourly cost. No yield increase included.

ECONOMIC COMPARISON

Enable JavaScript to calculate this scenario.

Editable example per campaign or project. Enter local costs and the share of software, correction signal, equipment and services used in this scenario. Results are estimated from inputs; defaults are not research averages. Do not add benefits from studios representing the same operation.

How we calculate +

Worked area = net area × (1 + reapplication/100). Hours = worked area ÷ (width × speed ÷ 10 × time efficiency/100). Cost = worked area × input/ha + hours × hourly cost. Time efficiency covers turns and stops, excluding overlap already counted.

Net benefit = conventional cost − precision cost, including technology. Net return on technology = net benefit ÷ allocated technology cost × 100; displayed only when this cost is greater than zero. Only described components are compared, not the full crop budget.

Explore scenarios, track the effect of each input and export the comparison to discuss with your team.

Technical basis and references

References support the agronomic mechanisms. Example values are editable assumptions, not percentages attributed to the studies.
