OmniSTAR, part of the Fugro Group, provides real-time GPS and

GLONASS correction services on a worldwide basis. GPS and

GLONASS are both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)

having constellations of satellites orbiting the earth. The OmniSTAR

services are used with a wide range of GNSS precision farming

and auto guidance systems to provide high accuracy positioning

and navigation. These systems are widely used for the precision

guidance of tractors with implements, seed drills, spreaders,

sprayers, combine harvesters. The systems provide efficient use of

machine time, fertilizers, chemicals and seeding.

The OmniSTAR services are brought to you by either geo-stationary

satellite or wireless networks. OmniSTAR services are monitored

and controlled 24/7 with free multi-lingual Help Desk Support. The

latest developments are that these real-time corrections are now

also being delivered in parallel by optional wireless backup services

on the ground in cases where line of sight to Fugro’s geo-stationary

satellites is blocked. In addition the new G2 (GPS and GLONASS)

correction service using the higher number of 'observables' will

increase service availability and robustness in more challenging

conditions e.g. near tree lines, buildings and in valleys.

Auto Guidance and Precision Farming

Page 2: Auto Guidance and Precision Farming

For Machine Guidance applications high accuracy GNSS solutions

enable accurate steering and automatic guidance. This reduces

fuel used, reduces working hours and optimizes fieldwork without

leaving gaps or overlaps.

In Soil Sampling high accuracy GNSS solutions enable the exact

locating and recording of soil samples. The results of these tests

can then be used to produce high accurate profile maps. These

then illustrate a clear analysis of varying soil types and nutrient

status over the recorded area, aiding soil management and

optimizing yield potential.

In Tillage high accuracy GNSS solutions allow tillage depth to be

varied according to soil profile or compaction status. Using high

accuracy GNSS guidance systems helps minimize gaps and

overlaps and increases working depths. Auto guidance systems

allow for more machine operating hours whilst reducing operator

fatigue.

OmniSTAR GNSS services support the following Agricultural applications best:

Field Mapping, Yield Monitoring, Soil Sampling, Cultivations, Precision Farming,

Seed Drilling, Harvesting, Auto Guidance/Auto Steering, Automatic Planting, Spraying, Fertilizing,

Variable Rate Applications, Bed Forming and more...

High accuracy GNSS solutions enable a Variable Rate Application

of seeding, chemicals, fertilizer and lime. This reduces input cost

and minimizes environmental impact. Through the automatic

control of sprayers and fertilizer applicators the precision farmer

can vary the amount of pesticide or nutrient applied on the move.

Regulating the dose according to weed populations, disease

levels and/or pest infestation reduces environmental impact and

lowers input costs.

In Seed Drilling high accuracy GNSS solutions enable rate variation

when soil characteristics or environmental factors vary. This allows

the farmer to optimize plant populations by regulating drilling

rate and depth, helping to maximize cropping potential on a site-

specific basis. Also reducing overlap and ensuring that the tram-

lines are in exactly the same place.

In Harvesting high accuracy GNSS guidance systems combined

with yield monitoring allow the farmer to map yields on a desig-

nated area-by-area basis. Yield monitoring allows the farmer to

identify variations and anomalies in his field based on detailed

maps. This information can be used to analyse yield fluctuations

and implement site specific solutions.
