pre-release testing and gathering maximum end-user feedback, this
application is now available.

The number of turns a farmer must make in the tractor and the
amount of fuel used to work a field is determined greatly by the
wayline approach. While various methods can be used to generate
efficient waylines in the cab, many farmers have expressed a desire
to generate more efficient waylines out of the cab and in the
off-season from the comfort of their office.
“The ability to plan in advance and outside the rush of narrow
windows to complete fieldwork is very important to our customers,”
explained Mark Theuerkauf, Fuse Go-To-Market Lead. “This is
especially true when working on rented land, working as a
contractor on many different fields, or growing specialty crops in
combination with challenging local conditions, like irregular or
sloping fields. It is often guesswork to know what the most
efficient working direction should be.”
Geo-Bird is an easy-to-use application that can help farmers
overcome this challenge. With minimal inputs, advanced algorithms
inside Geo-Bird analyse the field shape and by considering matching
working widths of implements, calculate the optimal wayline
routing. Three potential routing suggestions are calculated, and
also a manual direction can be entered for comparison.
Of each calculated routing, the time savings, wheel traffic area
and the number of turns are shown, conveniently arranged to easily
see the differences and potential savings.
Following the Fuse open platform philosophy, the desired routing
can be downloaded in the right format for direct use on the
farmer’s terminal in the cab, simply by choosing your current
guidance system from a comprehensive list of third-party
brands.
The Geo-Bird application is free of charge and is accessible via
this link: www.geo-bird.com. As topography is an important factor
in this calculation for many regions, a soon to be released, free
upgrade is already being developed and will be launched in Q1 2023.
Geo-Bird will continue to introduce more advanced features in the
future with more helpful and practical functionalities that may
require a fee.
Geo-Bird is fully GDPR-compliant and protects user data and
privacy. All data is exchanged via secure, encrypted
connections.
Geo-Bird will be shown on the Valtra Stand at the SIMA show in
Paris, France 6-10 November, at stand no7 C048 and at the EIMA show
in Bologna, Italy 9-13 November in Hall 16 B5. Users can access the
tool for free at geo-bird.com.
