CNH Industrial joins DataConnect for exchange of machinery data

CNH Industrial has joined DataConnect, a data interface project recently announced by Claas, John Deere and 365FarmNet. DataConnect enables the exchange of essential machinery data between the platforms to allow users to view all of their mixed-brand fleet information within the single platform of their choice.

With the addition of CNH Industrial brands Case IH, New Holland Agriculture and Steyr, the cloud-to-cloud effort now includes 5 major farm equipment brands and their respective telematics platforms.

Mixed-brand machinery data within 1 platform

DataConnect enables the exchange of essential machinery data between the platforms to allow users to view all of their mixed-brand fleet information within the single platform of their choice.

Previously, viewing such information required duplicating efforts by using each manufacturer’s separate and corresponding platforms or web portals to view such machine information.

Real-time data exchange

“The structure of the direct cloud-to-cloud solution enables a seamless and automated dataflow without any effort for the customer. The real-time data exchange allows a live overview about the whole machine fleet. Furthermore, DataConnect works without any additional hardware and software components and ensures secure data handling,” says CNH Industrial.

The company states that with this new approach, customers can view their current machine fleet in one portal. The solution will apply to hundreds of thousands of already connected machines.

Share experience and learnings with AEF

Just as Claas, John Deere and 365FarmNet, CNH Industrial is a member of the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF). As the participating companies develop their cloud-to-cloud solution, they plan to share their experience and learnings with AEF in an effort to support industry standards.

“Any interested agricultural machinery manufacturers and software providers as well as associations and standardisation committees are welcome to help develop the existing interface,” says CNH Industrial.

First insight at Agritechnica

A first insight into the operation of DataConnect will be possible on the Case IH, Claas, 365FarmNet, John Deere and New Holland stands at Agritechnica 2019, while the official launch is scheduled for summer 2020.
