Streamlined Farm Management with Real-Time Machine Tracking and Updates

Case IH has a new way for you to manage your fleet, FieldOps.

This mobile app offers you a complete, real-time solution for managing your operation with access to data, insights, equipment location and status, estimated job completion times, and more.

Farms.com spoke with Lance Meyer, region precision manager with Case IH, to get the details on this new product.

Meyer says that this system was designed from the ground up and developed in collaboration with farmers to meet their unique needs.

This innovative tool allows users to track machine status, view agronomic data, and monitor ongoing operations directly from their smartphones or tablets.

Upon logging in, users can access a snapshot of the current farm activities. The app displays real-time machine data, such as equipment movement, operational status, and fuel levels.

Machines in the field are shown with clear indicators of whether they are working or in transit.

A major feature of the FieldOps app is its real-time monitoring system. Machine data is updated every 2-5 seconds, offering a near-instant view of the equipment's status.

In addition to basic operational details, users can view field names, operation types, acres covered, as well as fuel and DEF levels. This provides an essential overview of what’s happening in the field at any given time.

Another key feature is the remote display view. This allows users to access the Pro 1200 display remotely from their mobile devices. With this feature, you can monitor machine parameters such as engine health, transmission, and field performance in real-time.

The app also includes a location history feature, showing the movement of equipment over the past 24 hours. Directions to the machine can be sent directly to Google or Apple Maps, ensuring easy navigation to any location on the farm.

In addition to machine tracking, the FieldOps app offers agronomic information, including detailed maps and operations such as prescription planting. Maps can be sent directly to machines, allowing for seamless execution of tasks.
