CROSS MANUFACTURER, ONLINE DATA EXCHANGE

Connect your agricultural machinery: Data exchange is a core element for farm management.


Agricultural machinery has developed over the last years and thanks to digitisation, machines have become smarter. Data exchange has become a core element of today’s farm management. The offer for agronomic services has significantly increased and plenty of software applications for different uses are available on the market. To ensure reliable interaction between all players, it is very important to speak a common “digital language” – this is why standardised data formats are fundamental. For an online exchange of agronomic data, interfaces have to be deployed in both software applications as well as in our SDF products. Instead of developing several different interfaces, SDF joined, as a stakeholder, a group of manufacturers with the goal to develop one single and common interface for online data exchange:

    AGRIROUTER

    Agrirouter is a universal data exchange platform designed to tackle a key digitalization challenge in agriculture. It enables farmers and contractors to share data between machinery and agricultural software applications from various manufacturers. By simplifying data exchange, Agrirouter streamlines work processes, reduces office tasks, and enhances financial efficiency, allowing users to focus on other important activities. Each user can create a free personal Agrirouter account and customize it to meet their individual needs.

    **Benefits:**

    - Reliable data transfer between different manufacturers, facilitated by a common interface.
    - A diverse network of partners including machine manufacturers, software providers, and other external sources. New members are always welcome to join.
    - Transparency: You retain ownership of your own data, as there is no data storage involved.
    - You have control over where your data is sent, using predefined and coordinated routes, such as transferring data from the iMonitor to a Farm Management Information System (FMIS).

    With an Agrirouter account, you can connect your machines to a variety of applications from Agrirouter partners. For a list of partners and additional information, please visit www.my-agrirouter.com.

    To facilitate data sharing among our machines, SDF has integrated an application in the iMonitor that allows for the uploading and downloading of data to and from Agrirouter. An internet connection is required for mobile data transfer, which can be provided by our CTM. Additionally, existing machines can be retrofitted with the necessary SDF components to connect to Agrirouter.
