AGCO’s new solution for wireless task data transfer to and from
select AGCO machines
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 1, 2015--
AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO) announced today that it will launch
a new solution for wireless task data transfer. Go-Task™ will
be one of AGCO’s solutions for wireless transfer of task data to and
from select AGCO machines and supported Farm Management Information
Software (FMIS) programs.
The Go-Task mobile app will be a key product of Fuse®
Technologies, AGCO’s next generation approach to precision agriculture
and precision machine management. Go-Task will enable farmers to make
better decisions by reducing the time and effort it takes to move and
manage the task data generated and utilized by their operation.
Features and Benefits of The Go-Task app Include:
-
Enables wireless task data transfer between your AGCO machine and a
supported FMIS
-
Eliminates risk of lost or incomplete task data that may result
from lost USB sticks or other complications associated with manual
data transfer
-
Easier movement and management of data, enabling better
operational decisions leading to increased efficiency and
productivity
-
Go-Task utilizes AGCO’s existing task data exchange server for task
data transfer
-
Task data is sent via AGCO’s task data exchange server directly
into your supported FMIS software. This ensures that you have
complete control over who can see your data.
-
AGCO’s task data exchange server is currently connected with
multiple FMIS programs. As part of AGCO’s open approach, the
number of FMIS programs connected to the server will continue to
grow
-
Go-Task can be used on your iOS 7.0 and above devices including iPod,
iPhone and iPad
-
Transfer files using existing data plan
-
Configure app to use only Wi-Fi networks reducing data plan usage
-
Wi-Fi only mode can be used on devices that do not have a cellular
connection
-
Go-Task automatically syncs with task data on the terminal when a task
is completed or paused
-
Reduces risk of lost or missing task data in an FMIS that may
result from an operator failing to download data after a job is
completed.
AGCO’s Go-Task mobile app can be used on any machine utilizing a C1000,
C2100, or C3000 terminal for logging task data (using supported software
version). All you will need is a supported wireless USB dongle, a
subscription to AGCO’s task data exchange server, and the Go-Task app
which will be downloadable for free from the iTunes app store. Pricing
and other information concerning subscription and hardware requirements
will be made available by January 2016 with the official market release
of the Go-Task app.
“The new Go-Task Mobile app will provide farmers with a greater level of
connectivity within their operation by enabling them to more seamlessly
move and manage the task data that is used and produced by their
operations,” said Carla Gasparin, Manager, Product Management, Global
Off-board Technologies at AGCO. “AGCO’s goal for our customers with
regards to their task data is to make it as easy as possible for the
customer to move their data to and from their machines, FMIS programs,
or preferred service providers.”
