How Do Guidance Control Systems Work?

Guidance control systems are a type of precision farming tool that enables operators to precisely control farm equipment using several integrated components:

  • GNSS/GPS receivers: These devices receive signals from satellites to determine your equipment’s exact location and provide accurate positioning data. They can receive signals from various satellites, including QZss, BeiDou, Galileo and more.
  • Controllers: These devices process the data from the receivers and calculate the vehicle’s exact position. They then send this information to the steering system to prompt a response.
  • Displays:  The integrated display unit provides real-time information to the operator to guide them on their path. Some of the information provided includes the vehicle’s position, the operator’s projected path and adjustment recommendations as needed.
  • Steering mechanisms: Guidance control systems integrated with auto-steering or assisted steering technologies automatically control your steering for enhanced accuracy and efficiency. Learn more about Trimble auto-steer and assisted steering systems.
  • Sensors: Trimble systems also include internet-connected sensors on the implement. These smart components enhance accuracy with more input data.

Trimble systems are straightforward and easy to install, with most digital components integrated directly into the interface. Operators can quickly learn how to use the technology without extensive training, which can help you minimize costs and improve efficiency.

Why Do You Need a Farm Guidance System?

Farm guidance systems are valuable tools for improving your efficiency and yield year after year. Some of the benefits you can gain from a Trimble tractor guidance system include:

  • Increased yield: Guidance control systems help you place seed and fertilizer more precisely to ensure a higher yield.
  • Reduced operator fatigue: A guidance control system takes away some of the mental toll while driving so that operators can focus on the task at hand.
  • Lessened overlap: Guidance control systems track your path so you can avoid repeat work with chemicals, fertilizer and seed.
  • Improved accuracy: Working with curved or downturned rows is simple with an integrated guidance control system that supports perfect guess rows even with mismatched implement widths.
  • Enhanced crop quality: Ensure you care for all rows evenly with a system that guides your path using real-time location tracking and feedback.

Having the right solution for your equipment is critical, so be sure to consult with our team before you make a purchase to ensure compatibility between each component in your system.
