CNH Industrial (CNH), the parent company of machinery brands Case IH, New Holland and Steyr, is entering into a partnership with Starlink. Starlink is a subsidiary of the American space company SpaceX, founded by tech billionaire Elon Musk.
CNH Industrial and Starlink aim to ensure that agricultural machines around the world – even in remote regions – have access to fast and reliable internet via the Starlink satellites from space company SpaceX.
CNH machines will be connected to Starlink and CNH’s digital platform FieldOps. This allows farmers to monitor their machines anytime and anywhere, retrieve data and use it immediately.
FieldOps provides users with insights into machine performance, fuel consumption, location and task status. Through this application, users can remotely view the in-cab displays and adjust settings.
According to CNH, the constant connection enables farmers to plan better, work faster and manage their operations more intelligently. With this collaboration, CNH is taking a major step towards a fully connected and more efficient fleet.
