Data exchange with TELEMATICS
The CLAAS API enables Farm Management Systems to easily exchange data with TELEMATICS. The open standard interface with defined processes and support mechanisms is available to all interested suppliers of Farm Management Systems. To connect their TELEMATICS system to their chosen FMIS, farmers simply have to enable data exchange in TELEMATICS. A simple connection dialogue box is provided to assist them. Once this process is complete, data are exchanged between the connected systems automatically. This makes documentation tasks easier for the farmer and avoids errors and data losses.
TELEMATICS is a digital data transfer system which continuously retrieves and records work data, tracks and yield data from connected CLAAS combine harvesters, forage harvesters and tractors. All data are transmitted via the mobile phone network from the machines to the server, where they are processed and stored. Farmers can access and evaluate their data online via the TELEMATICS website using a farm PC, laptop or smartphone.
The “automatic documentation" add-on module automatically assigns recorded data to the fields which have been worked.
The CLAAS API enables field boundaries, for example, to be synchronised with TELEMATICS. This allows them to be maintained centrally in one system. Automatic documentation data on consumption, time and yield for individual fields can then be transferred to the Field Management System.
