In the ever-evolving world of precision farming, accuracy is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. As farmers face mounting challenges, from increasing input costs to sustainability pressures, innovation becomes the key to thriving in a competitive landscape. At FieldBee, we understand these challenges, and that’s why we’ve developed PowerSteer VisionPro, combining advanced camera technologies with RTK positioning to redefine what’s possible in modern farming.

But what makes PowerSteer VisionPro stand out? Beyond its impressive features, it’s tailored for diverse farming operations, from vast arable fields to the intricacies of orchards and vineyards. Here’s how this next-generation system can revolutionise precision farming on your fields. 

Harnessing Advanced Technology for Everyday Precision Farming

PowerSteer VisionPro integrates RGB and NIR cameras with RTK positioning to deliver unmatched accuracy. Whether it’s enhancing nutrient application or ensuring precise sprayer control, the system adapts seamlessly to your needs, making farming operations more efficient, sustainable, and profitable.

Key Use Cases: Adapting to Your Farm’s Needs

1. Arable Land: Variable Rate Application

PowerSteer VisionPro’s field-scanning capability covers a 40-metre width, surpassing competitors’ 36 metres. Using its crop vegetation index analysis, the system automatically adjusts the application rate of fertilisers via ISOBUS, ensuring optimal efficiency. Key benefits include:

  • Savings Reduce fertiliser use by up to 60%.

  • Field Management Real-time mapping generates application maps for smarter decision-making.

  • Improved Crop Health Balanced nutrient application ensures consistent growth.

2. Tramline AutoFollow: Precision Spraying

For farmers prioritising accuracy during spraying operations, PowerSteer VisionPro combines RTK data with visual scanning to detect tramlines. This ensures:

  • Precise Spraying Automatic adjustments to the guidance line for minimal overlap.

  • Time Efficiency Reduces the need for manual adjustments, letting you focus on other tasks.

3. Orchard Farming: Targeted Solutions for Specialty Crops

Orchard farming comes with its unique challenges, and PowerSteer VisionPro offers targeted features to simplify operations:

  • Row Following & Obstacle Detection The system uses visual odometry and RTK to navigate rows automatically while detecting obstacles for uninterrupted operations.

  • Automatic Section Control for Sprayers By analysing crop density in real-time, the system activates or deactivates nozzles as needed, minimising chemical usage and environmental impact.

4. Upgrade Your Existing System: From PowerSteer 1.0 to VisionPro

Already a PowerSteer 1.0 user? With a simple upgrade, you can transform your existing system into VisionPro. By recording implement trajectories, PowerSteer VisionPro enhances steering precision for future operations, ensuring every pass is optimised.

Standout Features That Set VisionPro Apart

PowerSteer VisionPro combines cutting-edge features to deliver real-world benefits:

  • Unmatched reliable accuracy Maintain precision in areas with weak GPS signals, such as valleys or wooded regions.

  • Field Scanning Power Its 40-metre scanning width provides greater coverage in less time.

  • Integrated ISOBUS Control Enables automatic rate adjustments and section control.

  • Scalable Design Modular architecture ensures adaptability for future requirements.

A Sustainable Precision Farming Solution

PowerSteer VisionPro is more than a tool – it’s an investment in your farm’s future:

  • Save Costs Cut fertiliser and chemical inputs by up to 60%, ensuring a rapid return on investment.

  • Eco-Friendly Lower chemical use reduces environmental impact.

  • Boost Efficiency Automate guidance, spraying, and nutrient application for seamless operations.
