Precision Planting’s Panorama App Helps Farmers Analyze Field Data and Improve Decisions
Panorama, developed by Precision Planting, is a tool/app designed to bring real-time field data from the cab to your phone or laptop.
Those familiar with Precision Planting’s 20|20 monitor can look at this application as an extension of monitor’s data pixel for pixel into the cloud, allowing farmers to access and analyze vital information anytime.
Eric Huber, region manager with Precision Planting, recently met with Farms.com for a complete overview of the app.
The system starts with the 20|20 monitor in the cab, which collects sensor data during planting, spraying, or harvesting.
Its main goal is to alert the grower about real-time issues like seed placement or spray effectiveness, helping to maintain high yield and data accuracy.
After the field pass is complete, Panorama allows users to dig deeper into the data. Through a phone or computer, farmers can compare layers—such as yield to hybrid or furrow moisture—linking results to in-field decisions.
Panorama also supports collaboration.
With a cellular connection, dealers and advisors can access a live feed from the equipment. This allows them to view voltages, commands, and configurations, speeding up troubleshooting and support.
Farmers can review equipment performance per row or nozzle and share data through platforms like FieldView or John Deere Operations Center. Files can also be downloaded and uploaded to other systems.
Another major benefit is multi-machine connectivity.
Multiple monitors across machines in the same field can share data in real-time, without needing line of sight. This helps one machine react to the data collected by another, improving efficiency.
Panorama also supports scouting by making accurate, layered field data easily accessible.
Though the technology is still growing, its benefits are clear: improved decisions, better equipment performance, and stronger teamwork.
