HxGN SmartNet provides high-accuracy GNSS/GPS positioning enabling precision agriculture and smart farming.
Precision agriculture and smart farming allow growers to achieve higher yields with less resources and reduced environmental impacts. From planning and planting through harvesting, a range of technologies, including tractors, drones, and robotics, use a fusion of sensors and GNSS/GPS positioning to enable precision farming techniques. This includes field planning, precision planting, spraying, harvesting, crop monitoring, resource management, and more. Read on to learn about these applications in more detail and the role HxGN SmartNet plays in their success.
Precision agriculture
Precision agriculture allows farmers to increase their yields while minimising resources and reducing environmental impact. At the core of these capabilities? High-accuracy positioning. Automated systems for seeding and spraying optimise crop spacing and reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers. GNSS/GPS sensors enable field planning and yield mapping, helping farmers manage operations. Robots for mowing, weeding, and harvesting enhance outputs and allow for continuous operation during peak seasons. HxGN SmartNet NRTK correction services keep growers who use these technologies on the path to higher yields with precise positioning.
Drones for smart farming
Drones with imaging, LiDAR, and other remote sensing capabilities combined with GNSS/GPS enable smart farming applications, including monitoring crop health and growth, infection prediction, and vegetation and soil analysis. Capturing an extensive amount of data quickly, even across the largest fields, and with low operating costs, drones bring a wealth of data to improve farm management. Connected to HxGN SmartNet's real-time corrections, farmers can depend on centimetre-level accuracy to help increase crop yields and quality, optimise irrigation, and reduce pesticides, fertilisers, and costs.

Customer quotes
Service and support
"The reliable and trustworthy service is important. SmartNet even offers support on weekends, critical for us because in agriculture, there are no weekends during peak seasons."
Section control
"With the highest accuracy and repeatability of HxGN SmartNet NRTK, we are using section control for planting and spraying our corn. Anytime a field boundary is exceeded, the accurate GNSS positioning instantly shuts off the section."
High yields
"HxGN SmartNet allows us to precisely calculate our operating resources so that consumption decreases, there are no overlaps during fieldwork, and no unloading losses - reducing costs and making high and stable yields possible."
