Topcon Agriculture offers choices, enhanced user interface with new in-cab displays

With Topcon Agriculture Platform (TAP) integration, the consoles are designed to provide farmers with full-feature customization to optimize their investment by paying only for capabilities they need.

Topcon Agriculture announces the release of new in-cab displays — XD and XD+ touchscreen consoles — with an upgraded user interface experience — Horizon 5. With Topcon Agriculture Platform (TAP) integration, the consoles are designed to provide farmers with full-feature customization to optimize their investment by paying only for capabilities they need.



"As a farmer's needs grow, often times they've had to use multiple single-function consoles. In recent years, Topcon has offered the X family of consoles designed with all-in-one capability to resolve this issue, reducing clutter, improving setup, updates, support, and reducing overall hardware costs," said Brian Sorbe, VP of global production solutions. "Now with the additions to the series, Topcon is further simplifying cab control and it's a modular approach with future needs in mind for each unique farming operation."

Farmers can immediately take advantage of off-the-shelf features such as basic guidance, task management, universal ISO-UT compatibility, and TAP Fields to manage farm data. Additional features are unlockable for use with the full range of Topcon sensors and application control technology.

"TAP is a digital farm management system and it's a way for a farmer to organize, visualize and make decisions and it begins with the touch of the console in the cab, and now with the new user interface and digital system all integrated, it will be simpler and easier to setup and get to work," Sorbe said.

The new consoles are designed to be ready for any application such as soil preparation, seeding, crop care, harvest, weighing and data services.

The consoles are available in 7-inch and 12.1-inch screens, including new day and night modes. For more information, visit topconpositioning.com/introducing-xd.

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services

Although GNSS offers ubiquitous coverage worldwide, its accuracy can be hindered in some situations - signals can be attenuated by heavy vegetation, for example, or obstructed by tall buildings in dense urban canyons. This results in signals being received indirectly or via the multipath effect, leading to inaccuracy, or even blocked entirely. Unimpeded GNSS positioning in all real world scenarios is therefore unrealistic - creating a need for supporting technologies, such as real time kinematic (RTK) positioning and dead reckoning, to enable centimeter-accuracy for newer mass-market IoT devices.
