AgJunction® develops the world’s most advanced GPS Guidance and Flow Control products for the aerial
application market. As a technology leader, we offer simple and advanced systems that are versatile,
flexible and easy to use.
Satloc® was a pioneer in the aerial guidance market. And with the addition of technologies from Del Norte
and other company acquisitions, AgJunction has created the standard for quality, innovation and service.
As demands on precision applications continue to increase, the successful aerial applicator must keep
pace. AgJunction has a strong focus and dedication to moving forward with the continuing evolution
of aerial applications. Our products aid the pilot with user-friendly software and reliable hardware,
increasing productivity through greater job efficiency and improved time management. AgJunction now
owns over 70 issued or pending patents and our products are used in over 50 countries.
Whether in the aircraft, in the field, at the airport, or in the office evaluating the performance of the overall
aerial business, AgJunction provides the most complete tools for the job.
CORE GUIDANCE TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of AgJunction’s swath guidance systems is a
state-of-the-art differentially corrected GPS (DGPS) receiver
and antenna, and an adjustable display lightbar that receives
and displays position guidance to sub-meter accuracy.
Crescent Receiver Technology
The AgJunction Receiver Advantage
Developed by our AgJunction Research and Development
team, Crescent Technology is designed to deliver
high update rates, noise-reduced raw measurements,
additional memory and higher processing capability and
configurations.
With our Crescent® receivers, you’ll never be without
a differentially corrected signal. Our receivers support
differential signals from a Satellite-Based Augmentation
System (SBAS), such as WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, or GAGAN,
OmniSTAR®, e-Dif®, or Beacon.
In the event of a temporary signal outage, our patented
COAST™ technology allows you to use old correction data
for an hour or longer without significant degradation of
accuracy.
4
All of our GPS receivers are based on our own Crescent
Receiver Technology.
Crescent also has the ability to use multiple front ends,
allowing tighter coupling of measurements from a separate
antenna without the use of discrete receiver components.
With more accurate code and phase measurements and
multipath mitigation improvements, users will obtain
excellent accuracy and stability.
Precise positioning guidance regardless of geographic location.
e-Dif – A Worldwide Solution
Next-Generation Lightbar Guidance
e-Dif (Extended Differential) is an exclusive solution for areas
where it is impractical to obtain a differential GPS signal.
e-Dif was invented and patented by AgJunction. With e-Dif,
you can achieve GPS accuracies of a 2-3 feet for 40 minutes
or longer (typical) without the need for a differential signal
broadcast. e-Dif works by generating internal differential
corrections based on your starting location. The differential
corrections are modeled over time and applied to the GPS
data in order to maintain a very consistent relative position.
AgJunction guidance systems feature next-generation
lightbars. Our rugged, glare-resistant lightbars feature
realistic LED displays, making numbers and letters easier to
read than ever before. Other user-friendly features include
the ability to adjust the viewing distance angle, brightness,
and contrast.
Our lightbars display basic guidance cues - heading angle,
cross-track distance or approach warnings to the target
swath or position. In addition, all of AgJunction’s guidance
systems allow you to select viewing options for the left and
right display areas of the lightbar. AgJunction lightbars come
in options for 4 display windows. Data can be displayed
such as heading angle, cross-track distance, spray rate, area
sprayed, volume remaining, laser altimeter height, speed and
much more.
