The built-in GPS/GNSS receiver in the terminal has limited accuracy. For an estimate of the accuracy required for agricultural operations and the sensation of using “AgriBus-NAVI” here“Selecting a GPS/GNSS”Please check.
After checking, the required accuracy is Medium precision
☛It is possible to receive accuracy of submeter class even in single positioning.
「AgiriBus-GMiniR」
(price of 69,800 yen ⇒ 59,800 yen per campaign period)
Purchase and attach to your tractor.
In addition, If you wish to perform the position measurement of Ultra high precision
☛Set up an RTK reference station.「AgiriBus-GMiniR」(price of 69,800 yen) It is recommended that you purchase an additional RTK reference station.
NAVI
Q:” NO GNSS” appears red and the arrow does not move.
GPS/GNSS connectivity failure. Check the connection with the receiver.
NAVI
Q:” NO POS” appears yellow and the arrow does not move.
The GPS/GNSS signal has been received, but the present position has not been calculated for reasons such as poor radio wave condition. Move to an open location in the sky (open sky) and wait a few minutes.
RTK
Q: What is RTK positioning?
RTK stands for Real Time Kinematic (GPS).
In terms of location information, “GPS” is often thought of quickly, but it refers to U.S. military satellites and the generic name for global navigation satellites launched around the world, including Japan’s “michibiki” is GNSS. These satellite-based position data are always in error by themselves only.
RTK uses two receivers: a fixed station (reference station) and a mobile station, and exchanges information between two receivers in real time to improve positioning accuracy. However, since receivers are expensive (about ¥1 million yen), it has been difficult to use them generally.
In order to make it easier for farmers to get started with smart farming, the Agricultural Information Design Company has developed and sold a GPS/GNSS receiver that is also a standard station at an easy-to-purchase price as a “AgriBus-GMini” so that farmers can start smart agriculture. In RTK positioning, although we have received high praise from farmers,
・ Difficult to set
・ It takes time to fix.
We have also received some comments.
「AgriBus-GMiniR」In addition to clearing these challenges, these products are designed to be used as reference stations by dramatically promoting their functions and specifications. (For details,Click here)
Its superior performance is the “uneven level” of our representatives.
At this opportunity, please feel more stress-free RTK positioning.
