    New DataSync upgrade improves accuracy and efficiency

    Thanks to a new update, John Deere customers using the Operations Center can now update field data across their entire machinery fleet in real time.

    DataSync will eliminate the time required to manually change records on individual cab displays via a USB stick and ensure that stored data is accurate. Field names, boundary changes, guidance tracks and flags can now be updated from the cab or the office and shared across the fleet at the touch of a button.

    Will Downie, John Deere’s precision farming specialist, said: “The John Deere Operations Center is the starting point for precision applications, mapping out the fundamental data operators need to carry out tasks in the field.

    “DataSync consistently provides the right setup information where it’s needed, and at the right time.”

    Peter Richardson, arable manager at East Coast Viners Peas and Beans in Montrose, has been using the functionality since March across a fleet of six John Deere 6R tractors, across 10,000 acres of vining peas and beans.

    “With peas, we are going into new, rented fields every year with two cultivators and two drills working together. With DataSync the first tractor maps the field and within seconds the other machines are all working off the same boundaries and A-B lines,” he said.

    “It’s been very impressive. DataSync has reduced downtime, soil compaction and overlaps, making everything so much more simple and straightforward for us.”

    DataSync is free to activate and can be enabled for disabled for select machines within Operations Center, providing different levels of access to members of the team. To use the new feature, customers require a Gen4 display, JDLink modem and an Operations Center account.
