Hexagon in-cab terminal offers precision ag options

Available to end users and to manufacturers for bespoke machinery integrations, the Hexagon AgrOn Ti7 in-cab terminal has a 7-inch colour touch screen with contrast said to be sufficient for daytime viewing in bright conditions and for use at night or in low visibility situations.

For guidance and ‘work done’ applications, there are 2-D and 3-D display options, with all inputs handled via the screen – there are no physical buttons except for switching on and off.

Built-in 3G and WiFi connectivity

At the rear, CAN, USB and RS-232 interfaces are complemented by built-in 3G and WiFi connectivity, with remote technical assistance available. The AgrOn Ti7 reads maps in shape (.shp) format and will import prescription maps as well as exporting maps of work completed.

It can also be used to operate functions such as Hexagon’s AgrOn Guidance and Auto Steering packages with a suitable antenna for connection GNSS services such as GPS, GLONASS and Terrastar.
