Producers can seamlessly share in-depth agronomic data through AFS Connect with trusted providers to optimize productivity and in-field efficiency
 
Case IH announces six initial partners to further promote seamless data transfer capabilities between its AFS Connect farm management system — part of the company’s Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) precision farming suite — and a budding list of service providers.
 
Through these partnerships, users of AFS Connect will have the ability to share their agronomic data from their management portal directly to and from these third-party service providers. In return, the service providers will have the capability to send resulting prescriptions and analysis.
 
“Case IH strives to give producers the freedom to access industry-leading third-party providers and consultants of their choosing,” said Kirk Wesley, Case IH Advanced Farming Systems marketing manager. “These new service provider partnerships, along with the AFS Connect data-sharing functionality, give producers a secure and convenient way to transfer agronomic data between their machines and their trusted advisers.”

New platform streamlines process for partners
To help producers optimize their operations, Case IH offers multiple ways for new companies and agronomic service providers to create connections with AFS Connect. We encourage Case IH customers to invite the agronomic companies they do business with to become trusted third-party partners with AFS Connect from Case IH. Any software service that does not already have a connection can get started online through the CNH Industrial Developer Portal or the new plug-in tool from Case IH, using AgGateway’s ADAPT.
 
The CNH Industrial Developer Portal allows companies to establish secure agronomic data exchange for the convenience of their customers who own and manage Case IH farm equipment. The site serves as the entry point for companies requesting online application program interface or offline methods of data exchange. Customers must grant permission to allow any data exchange through their account on AFS Connect.
 
The new plug-in tool, using AgGateway’s ADAPT, makes it easier to provide services on Case IH equipment. In addition, Case IH is a proud member of AgGateway, an industry-wide effort to enable the agriculture’s digital transition.
 
“Case IH is creating a digital ecosystem for producers to more efficiently and more securely manage their data,” Wesley said. “These partnerships advance our longstanding data-based focus on agronomy and machine optimization for the Case IH brand and its customers.”
