New Updates Enhance Connectivity, Data Management, And Guidance

PTx Trimble GFX displays have been updated to offer improved connectivity, advanced guidance features, and streamlined data management, making farming operations more efficient and productive. 

To learn about these updates, Farms.com met with Wade Stewart, sr. manager of product management with PTx Trimble. 

AutoSync: Simplifying Data Management 

The enhanced AutoSync feature automatically sends and receives data from the field.  

Operators can synchronize resources like AB lines, field names, and implements across multiple displays. 

This feature keeps data consistent, eliminates unnecessary AB lines, and prevents duplication, saving time and effort across the farm. 

Connectivity: Maximizing Uptime 

PTx Trimble displays come with advanced connectivity solutions such as TeamViewer, allowing resellers to access displays remotely for quick troubleshooting. 

This minimizes downtime and ensures operators can resume planting or harvesting faster. 

Over-the-air firmware updates enable resellers to remotely update displays without needing to visit the location, providing added convenience. 

Guidance Features: Enhanced Precision 

PTx Trimble has introduced several new guidance features, including FreeForm guidance. 

This allows operators to manually drive a path, record it, and create a new AB line for automated driving on subsequent passes. 

Additional updates include: 

End-of-Row Turn Functionality: Operators can now skip passes during operations like deep tillage, factoring in the tractor’s turning radius. 

Square Headland Functionality: Enables precise coverage of corners and headlands, ensuring no part of the field is missed. 

Optimizing Operations 

These updates make PTx Trimble GFX displays an essential tool, offering precision, efficiency, and seamless data management.
