Developed to improve performance and operation precision, this product provides automatic tractor steering to improve alignment and minimise overlapping or gaps during field work. Hexagon’s Auto Steering can be fully integrated with other precision agriculture products from Hexagon.

Hexagon’s Auto Steering solution supports a wide range of machines with options to suit each machine:

  1. Replace steering wheel, using the Hexagon's Track Controller;
  2. Steer ready tractors. Danfoss’ PVED-CLS, PVED-CL and PVES valves supported;
  3. Tracked tractors, taking control of the tractor’s joystick;
  4. Standard hydraulic steering.

Hexagon’s Auto Steering is integrated with Hexagon’s Guidance and can also be used with third party guidance managers by using Hexagon’s Core Box.

 

Hexagon Auto Steering uses an ECU with Inertial Navigation Unit (INS) combined with satellite positioning and other sensors to accurately identify the machine's position, orientation, inclination and speed. The satellite positioning is powered by an OEM7500 from NovAtel, a Hexagon brand, and provides the ability to use TerraStar Correction Services for increased accuracy of up to 2 centimetres.
