Farm Sync
The days of downloading or uploading data from a mobile device using a sync cable are over. Farm Sync, offered by Farm Data Software, links the field to the office by transferring data through a wireless network. Since most farmers own -- or could easily add --- a wireless hub to their office computer, this technology can benefit any farmer or consultant. This refreshing new technology will improve data collection in the field by bypassing memory cards, while reducing the time needed to update records in the office.
How does it work?
Simply enter the field record using a mobile device with WIFI capabilities. Farm Data's mobile solutions make it easy to enter records with quick drop-down lists of names for fields, equipment, personnel and supplies. Other jobs for mapping field boundaries, soil sample locations, tile lines or variable rate can also be accomplished using GPS.
Once the jobs are completed, Farm Sync does the rest for you. Simply drive within your wireless network range and all the data, such as field records and maps, automatically synchronize to the office computer. It is just as easy when more than one mobile device is used in the field. When the wireless network detects each mobile device, all completed jobs will download automatically into one project.
In order to boost your wireless range, antennas can be purchased from various retailers to extend the range another 1000 feet or more.
Farm Sync settings are simply entered in Site Mate (Agronomy level and upwards) on the mobile device, with regards to ISP address. When the device is within range of the wireless router it then knows where to send the data.
Farm Sync Requirements:
- Farm Data office software - at least Data Trac
- Farm Data field software - Trac Mate or Site Mate
- Mobile Device with WIFI capabilities
- Wireless Network (Internet is not required)
- Antenna (optional) for wireless network to boost wireless signal
