News Office Field Ordering Support About Us



Farm Works® Sync is a component of the Connected Farm™ solution.  Sync provides wireless data transfer between the field and office, creating a link between your handheld device, vehicle display, and desktop computer.

Sync eliminates the use of memory cards and storage devices for linking the field to your office.  Collecting data from the field is extremely important and Sync secures that information when you need it most.

 

Hardware solutions that are compatible with Sync include the Trimble® AgGPS® FmX® integrated display and/or Trimble handheld computers and other hardware devices utilizing the Farm Works field software.  Data transfer can include information such as planned and completed jobs, guidance lines, soil sampling and scouting maps, application maps, yield maps, and variable rate prescription maps.

The Connected Farm™ utilizes a web server in order to upload and download data. The following bullets provide information of how the Connected Farm functions with your mobile device:

  • Sync will communicate with the Connected Farm on a regular basis - typically every minute. Each time that it communicates, it will upload new information to your storage area on the Connected Farm. New resources include clients, farms, fields, inputs (supplies and equipment), areas, points, and line features.

  • Mobile devices such as an FmX™ integrated display or a device with Site Mate Scouting will look for updated information such as clients, farms, fields, inputs and guidance paths to download from your Connected Farm storage area.

  • Send completed jobs from the field (using required hardware) to the Connected Farm.  If a mobile device loses its communication, its completed jobs will be sent once it re-establishes communication.  Transfer an unlimited amount of data.

  • View summaries of jobs that are waiting to be received and sent using the Connected Farm tab.

  • Password protected account provides safe delivery of data.  All data secured for the exclusive use of the account.

  • The Connected Farm keeps a backup of your raw data within your storage area, even after it has been downloaded into your desktop computer.
