SMS Mobile

Ag Leader is pleased to announce an exciting new product called SMS Mobile. SMS Mobile allows in-field documentation that will help record information about the details of your crop. You will then be able to use this data before, during and after the growing season to make better decisions. SMS Mobile has been developed from the ground up by Ag Leader. SMS Mobile works seamlessly with SMS Basic and SMS Advanced and takes many of the great features and puts them into a package that can be used “in the field”.

(Available Summer 2007)

Modes of Operation for SMS Mobile

• Boundary Mode – Records field outlines and area in each field.
• General Logging Mode – Create and edit point, line, and polygon datasets. Example of polygon datasets include observation sites for crop scouting functions, tile lines and management zones.
• Coverage Mode – Continuously logs and records data for any operation providing an area covered. For example recording the placement of different hybrids within your fields.
• Soil Sampling Mode – Creates and/or navigates to each area to pull soil samples.

Integrated yet Flexible

SMS mobile was designed to work seamlessly with the SMS desktop packages but also allows flexibility if users choose to use a different desktop solution.

SMS Mobile has complete integration with SMS desktop packages. Field names, field boundaries, backgrounds (aerial photography, soil maps, and yield maps) and many other items can be transferred from SMS Basic or SMS Advanced. This assures efficient work out in the field and accurate information is passed back to SMS Basic or SMS Advanced.

SMS Mobile can also be configured in the field without using desktop software. SMS Mobile can directly export all logged data in a shape file format for use in other software applications.
 

Automatic Field Selection

When GPS is used, SMS Mobile will automatically prompt the user with the correct field and other management information based on the current location. Thus when moving from field to field SMS Mobile will help select correct field names & management information.
