Expanded API Creates Additional Data Exchange
Capabilities for Connected Devices
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the release
of its flexible API for the Trimble Agriculture Cloud, an industry
cloud that streamlines farming operations. The availability of this
API represents the next evolution of connectivity for agriculture
integrators by coupling in-field devices and operational workflows
for enabling compatibility with both Trimble and third-party
agriculture applications.
As part of its focus to provide precision agriculture technology
for mixed fleets, Trimble has created a path to enable broad
compatibility that seamlessly connects local, regional and national
applications to Trimble equipment in the field, as well as the data
it collects.
The Trimble Agriculture Cloud helps farmers execute workflows
with greater accuracy, more efficiency and fewer errors while
driving sustainability. It also centralizes data needed for
compliance and regulatory requirements. For integrators, access to
the Trimble Agriculture Cloud's API enables third parties to
connect to the Trimble platform and its key workflow applications,
including Trimble Ag Software, Trimble Ag Mobile and the
Precision-IQ™ field application, expanding the value of the
solutions they offer.
"At Trimble, our vision is to help farmers work more efficiently
through data-driven farming practices and decision support tools,"
said Dave Britton, vice president of
Product Management, Trimble Agriculture. "Enabling farmers to
complete workflows that involve solutions from multiple technology
providers is critical, especially in cases where third-party
applications address unique regional farming practices. With this
in mind, we created the Trimble Agriculture Cloud and an expanded,
flexible API to establish a place where integrators could easily
connect and share data, regardless of brand."
API capabilities include farm setup, task records and
recommendations, materials, vehicle setup, work orders, harvest and
crop zones activities. Through the combination of software and
hardware, Trimble enables integrators to create value for farmers
and their partners, including consultants, agronomists, custom
applicators and more, by facilitating workflows that leverage
connectivity to the machine in the field, improving the overall
crop production process.
With the recent update of the Trimble Agriculture Cloud, the
most common API workflows available to third-party integrators
address the majority of applications on the farm,
including:
- Accessing Trimble display as-applied data in third-party
applications for productivity analysis and regulatory
compliance
- Sending prescriptions to and from third-party applications to
Trimble displays
- Aligning field resources such as boundaries, guidance lines and
landmarks between connected third-party applications and Trimble
displays for in-field execution
Trimble currently has more than 180 million customer acres (72.8
million hectares) using its Trimble Agriculture Cloud on the
connected platform, along with many partner integrators ranging
from enterprise farmers, customer software applications and local
and regional dealers.
"As an environmental software company that enables farmers and
their partners across New Zealand
to connect, manage, visualize and share their environmental data,
we need partners that can make data sharing simple. Syncing data to
the Trimble Agriculture Cloud allows us to easily send prescription
files to Trimble displays and receive equipment activity data back,
allowing farmers and their contractors to provide proof
of application for their spreading and spray applications,"
said Chloe Walker, chief operating officer, Precision Farming
Ltd. "The Trimble Agriculture API opens up the market to a much
broader range of options for New
Zealand-based GPS guidance users, allowing them to utilize
the devices of their choice and automatically return that data to
where they need it to go. Proof of application data from Trimble
displays can now be returned to the farmer, supplier and regulator
as part of a digitized workflow management process for
contractors."
