Sprayer Automation26

CONFIDENTIAL – © 2014 AGERpoint, Inc

PRE-MAPPED SOLUTIONS – system that is guided by GPS does NOT use ultrasonic sensors

GREATER PRECISION – reduces over-application and product waste

REAL-TIME DOCUMENTATION –document all field application data automatically

TRACK PROGRESS – allows operator to progress and prevents duplication

VARIABLE RATE APPLICATION –Allows the variable rate application of product

RATE CONTROL – via flow meter signal and radar speed sensor
