ComNav Introduces Autosteer System for Precision Agriculture

By Jesse Khalil

ComNav Technology has introduced the AG501 Pro autosteer system, an advanced solution for precision agriculture. This system offers improved accuracy and efficiency for various farming operations. The AG501 Pro features a streamlined design, incorporating the A100 Pro Smart Antenna, which integrates a GNSS antenna, GNSS module, gyroscope and datalink functionalities into a single unit.

The system utilizes ComNav’s high-performance GNSS module, which supports full-constellation tracking. By employing GNSS+INS terrain compensation technology, the AG501 Pro can achieve a pass-to-pass accuracy of 2.5 cm across diverse terrains, minimizing skips and overlaps.

It also includes free signal options, such as Galileo-HAS and Beidou-B2B services, allowing 5 cm to 10 cm accuracy without the need for mobile RTK base stations or RTK service subscriptions. This is particularly beneficial in areas with poor internet connectivity.

The AG501 Pro offers a variety of guideline options, including parallel straight lines, curves, A+ Heading and automatic U-turns, catering to different farming procedures. It operates within a speed range of 0.1 to 20 km/h and is compatible with major brands and various machine types, including tractors, sprayers and combine harvesters. The system’s user-friendly software interface seeks to simplify configuration and task management. It allows for quick AB line setting and easy engagement of the autosteer function. Additionally, the AG501 Pro software supports multiple languages, making it accessible to farmers worldwide.
