The new John Deere SeedStar Mobile solution uses an iPad to provide critical planting information producers need to better monitor and document their planter performance in the field.
According to Mike Brandert, senior product manager at John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group, SeedStar Mobile provides real-time, row-by-row performance data on an iPad inside the tractor cab, in the office, or on-the-go: “With SeedStar Mobile, producers can instantly monitor planter performance and know with confidence that the planter is running at the highest level of precision and accuracy.”
Depending on the configuration of the planter, the system collects and monitors population, singulation, seed spacing, downforce, variety and ground speed on a row-by-row basis. SeedStar Mobile captures this information and stores it on the iPad by working in conjunction with the GreenStar 3 2630 Display and SeedStar XP or SeedStar 3 HP on the planter.
This information can be used to help optimise planter settings, diagnose potential problems, scout fields and provide decision support in other areas of the farming operation.
SeedStar Mobile also transfers the planting data to the Operations Center in MyJohnDeere while planting in the field or in the producer’s office using Wi-Fi or a cellular connection.
