New Holland continues the expansion of its Precision Farming portfolio and development
of in-house solutions at Agritechnica 2023, showing the next milestones in its strategy
to deliver Precision Farming solutions that meet customers’ varying operational
demands.
To underline the focus on digitalization and automation, a dedicated ‘New Holland
Technology area’ on the stand will display the latest Precision Land Management (PLM)
solutions. Visitors can experience the advantages of connected machines and data
collection in farming and how connected equipment can help boost productivity and
efficiency. The area follows the full path of farm digitalization, from data gathering and
analytics to data-based decision making and its in-field applications.
New Holland IntelliView™ 12 Guidance Kit
A key launch at Agritechnica is the brand-new IntelliView™ 12 Guidance Kit, an
aftermarket installation designed to enhance fundamental precision and connectivity
features. Tailor made for New Holland customers seeking to elevate their existing
machines’ performance, it will be available from February 2024. The new IntelliView™
12 Guidance Kit will bring a single user interface, look and feel to both factory-fit and
retrofitted vehicles, simplifying and improving the user and dealer experience across the
fleet and making it easy to install and support. This retrofit kit will comprise the
IntelliView 12 Display, the PLM Cygnus Receiver, and the PCM Connectivity Module, as
established on the latest PLM Intelligence tractor platforms. It can be installed on most
IntelliSteer-ready New Holland standard tractor models produced since 2018, enabling customers to benefit from the latest New Holland user experience even on older
machines, and therefore throughout their whole fleet. It also offers advanced cloud
services, enabling comprehensive precision agriculture management. With a five-year
subscription to MyPLM™ Connect as standard with the kit, customers gain access to a
suite of connected solutions, to enhance productivity, efficiency and data-driven
decision-making.
MyPLM Connect EasyLink: a connectivity module to link machines to the New Holland IntelliCentre
The New Holland Technology area will also give customers a sneak peek into the new
IntelliCentre, the digital center of intelligence that allows New Holland customers to
make the most of all the advantages that modern connectivity provides. In a digital
world where agriculture moves fast, New Holland aims to provide customers with the
most intuitive solutions complete work easily with fully-connected machines. The
IntelliCentre allows dealers to be in real-time contact with all connected machines,
identifying potential issues in advance and maximizing uptime in case of breakdown.
Diagnostics can be performed remotely, technicians can reach the field already aware of
specific needs and with the right spare parts and tools, and in some cases major wear
or consequential damage can even be prevented before occurrence. The IntelliCentre
helps move from passive to proactive analysis and from post to preventive uptime
support via seamless communication between the machine and the dealer.
In addition, New Holland is launching the new MyPLM Connect EasyLink connectivity
device that allows customers to connect their machines easily to the IntelliCentre and
check location, machine parameters and performance indicators. This modem can be
connected to a wider range of machines, from CAN (Controlled Area Network) to analog
ones, covering also competitive machines and construction machinery, even allowing
equipped service vans to monitor location and statuses.
Raven Industries portfolio upgrade
With the in-house expertise gained through the acquisition of Raven Industries, New
Holland is launching several additions and upgrades to its technology portfolio in 2024.
Among them is a new generation of Raven’s 7-inch aftermarket display, the CR7+, as
well as Raven’s 12-inch aftermarket display, the CR12+. The new display generation will
offer the best possible hardware capacity, supporting an enhanced user interface offering
enhanced user experience. With the same harnessing and connector, the new displays
have the same compatibility with steering solutions such as the brand-new Raven
DirecSteer™ electric steering motor. New Holland is also offering a display upgrade for
existing customers via their local New Holland dealer at no cost.
New MyPLM Connect API partnerships
New Holland continues to invest in its open data strategy to ensure seamless data
management options for farmers. With 15 European FMIS (Farm Management
Information Systems) and data management key players to optimize crop production,
the first CNH API convention was held in July 2023 to strengthen existing partnerships
and make new ones. An API (Application Programming Interface) allows FMIS providers
to establish direct machine and agronomic data flow for customers between their farm
management software and the New Holland MyPLM Connect telematics portal. New
