AgLeader InSight Helps You Make More Profitable Decisions

InSight’s color touch screen isn’t just for looks. Here are just a few of the features that can help you make more profitable decisions.

• Record all of your field activities - from planting to harvest.
• Generate color maps while planting and see the location of each hybrid or variety, even when using split planter operations.
• Perform automatic and manual product application control and prescription-based variable rate control for liquid and granular products, and display color maps of prescriptions and resulting as-applied rates.
• Create and view color yield and moisture maps while harvesting and instantly observe how field conditions affect yield.
• See a boundary map showing field perimeter in all field operations.
• Zoom in/out and pan maps to see points of interest.
• Summary screen displays a complete data summary from the field.
• Use easy on-screen help system for fast answers in the field.
• Control your self-propelled or pull-type sprayer directly from the InSight with the DirectCommand system. You no longer need a controller console in your cab for manual or variable rate application.
• Auto-steer your vehicle equipped with the Trimble AgGPS Autopilot conveniently through the InSight display while application rate or yield mapping.

Why InSight?

• Readability. The InSight display’s large 10.4-inch color touch screen features onetouch adjustable backlighting for better readability day or night.
• Simplicity. Yield monitor setup is as easy as selecting your combine model from a list. An on-screen keyboard with contextual help is easy to navigate and more intuitive. Moving the InSight display from vehicle to vehicle is easy – using the same mounting bracket as the PFadvantage – or optional RAM™ mount for tractors and sprayers.
• Compatibility. InSight display is compatible with a wide variety of precision hardware, including most NMEA GPS receivers and the most popular controllers, including Mid-Tech®, Raven, Rawson, Flexicoil™, Trimble AgGPS® Autopilot and others.
• Modeless operation. The InSight display uses no keycards. A large internal memory gives you instant access to applications, maps, summaries, reports and setup/run screens.
• Durability. A rugged, sealed enclosure keeps dust and elements out and protects the unit when transferring from one piece of equipment to the next, ensuring data integrity in all operating conditions. The InSight display is backed by a two year warranty for added ease-of-mind

InSight Main Features and Capabilities

The large color display allows you to view yield maps, variable rate application maps, as-planted hybrid/variety maps and other real time field maps at the same time you are performing field work. This allows you to observe field conditions that cause yield differences. Setup and operation are easy, so you are productive right away. Information is right at your fingertips by touching the on-screen pick-lists or keyboard, and on-screen help is always available.

CAN Bus Technology

InSight uses the newest industry-standard CAN bus technology (Controller Area Network). This allows InSight to serve as the user interface for a simple, modular system where a single high-speed cable (or bus) distributes large amounts of information to and from the other control modules (i.e. grain flow sensors, moisture sensors, speed and position sensors, auto steer systems, application rate modules, etc.) CAN bus means expandability, improved performance, and compatibility into the future.

InSight DirectCommand Liquid Application Control System

The optional DirectCommand system allows applicators to control application rate directly from the InSight display, eliminating the need for a separate in-cab application controller, reducing cab clutter and more tightly integrating technology from field to office.

DirectCommand includes an exciting feature called AutoSwath™ control. AutoSwath automatic boom control allows the InSight display to automatically shut off individual boom sections as the sprayer enters into and out of already applied areas, which is especially useful around point rows, waterways and field borders where over-application is most likely to occur. An on-screen coverage map showing skips and overlaps as small as one foot provides visual verification that the system is doing its job. AutoSwath control also works on applicators that do not have booms such as spreaders and air carts. The InSight display with DirectCommand makes application easier and more accurate and more profitable.

The DirectCommand system connects directly to supported brands of flow meters and valves and controls up to 10 boom valves for either manual or automatic boom section control – with both motorized and solenoid-type boom valves supported. A 10-boom switch box for manual boom section control is available with the DirectCommand system. An auxiliary input module is also available for connecting to built-in boom and master switches in self-propelled sprayers and other vehicles.

InSight DirectCommand Granular Application Control

DirectCommand Granular Application control adds complete control over granular application to the Insight Display. The system supports single/multiple product application, applying and data logging up to 5 products simultaneously, and multi-product prescriptions on one map. It also enables manual rate or prescription map control on a bin-by-bin basis. Auto Swath automatically turns on/off individual boom sections based on your field map, giving you greater control with less effort. The DirectCommand eliminates the need for a separate in-cab controller, reducing cab clutter and more tightly integrating your application control with the powerful Insight precision farming system.
