PTx autopilot enhances precision in the field.

Automation in agriculture is no longer a trend; it's a reality that is already changing how agricultural operations are carried out. According to a McKinsey & Company report (2024), it is estimated that agricultural automation can increase crop productivity by up to 30% in the next 10 years, in addition to reducing production costs by up to 25%. 

This revolution is especially relevant for Brazil, where the continental dimensions of the territory and climatic variations demand solutions that optimize available resources and increase efficiency. Agricultural robotization also reduces labor costs and minimizes environmental impact by optimizing the use of inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers. 

In this sense, PTx, the AGCO Group's brand of digital and high-precision agricultural solutions, reinforces its commitment to innovation and efficiency in the field with autopilot for tractors and agricultural machinery, which ensures precise navigation and optimization of the use of planted area. These systems provide farmers with greater profitability, sustainability, and ease of operation, raising precision agriculture to a new level. 

With cutting-edge technology, Trimble PTx products utilize high-precision GNSS correction signals, such as CenterPoint RTX, which ensures centimeter-level positioning up to 2,5 cm, far superior to conventional GPS. This signal is sent in real time to the autopilot, which continuously adjusts the machine's direction with quick and precise corrections, eliminating errors and overlaps in planting lines. 

Among the highlights is the EZ-Pilot Pro power steering system, which offers intuitive and efficient operation, allowing the producer to maximize the cultivable area and improve planting uniformity. This technology reduces waste of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. 

In addition to increased productivity, Trimble PTx systems are compatible with different makes and models of equipment, thanks to the integrated platform that uses the ISOBUS communication protocol. This offers farmers the flexibility to incorporate new technologies without having to replace existing equipment in their fleet. 

“Our autopilot systems make daily life in the field simpler and more efficient, providing producers with more control and precision. It's the perfect combination of technology and sustainability to boost Brazilian agribusiness,” reinforces Giancarlo Fasolin, Senior Manager of Strategic Marketing at PTx South America. 

The brand also offers a complete line of monitors from the GFX family, which provide intuitive interfaces for controlling planting, spraying, and other agricultural operations, integrating real-time data for smart and connected farm management.
