CNH is set to debut a new, free platform for mobile and web customers to better monitor field operations from a single site.
“This is something we’re really excited about,” CNH’s chief digital and information officer Marc Kermish says. “We realize more and more farmers are on the go and need to manage their farm operations from anywhere they’re at.
“So we spent the last number of months rethinking how we can offer access to all the data and systems in the vehicles that are running at any given time. We really invested in our online platforms and launched a new native mobile app for both iOS and Android.

Farm-facing drone does the heavy lifting
Canadian distributor DJI Agriculture unveils its AGRAS T100 drone to western Canada’s producers for greater efficiencies in spraying and granular spreading in fields.
“We call it FieldOps. It’s not branded to Case IH or New Holland per se. It’s the same system no matter what tractor you’re running with us.”

The platform allows real-time monitoring of vehicle display views, including telematics data; farmers can see as-planted maps and define field boundaries. They can also do path planning and interact with service manuals and other data sets provided by CNH, all while on the go.
The platform will allow direct data input from any compatible source, which will allow users to integrate all their on-farm data.
“It has simplified navigation, easy-to-use buttons, ability for light and dark modes, being able to use it with a gloved hand, et cetera,” Kermish says.
“We’ve been in beta this past winter and through the spring. Beta will run right up to mid- to late summer. We’ll open it up to the general public as soon as we feel we’ve worked out all the kinks.”
