WHEN SPACE MEETS AGRICULTURE | 14-15 November, Matera EGNOS provides advantages to both farmers and society EGNOS… • offers an affordable solution for precision agriculture
• enables farmers to optimise yields, increase labour productivity and reduce driver fatigue – all with minimal investment
• supports machinery guidance solutions with sub-metre level accuracy, which is suitable for basic-value crop cultivation (e.g. cereals)
• enables more efficient management of farming activities such as spreading, spraying and harvesting
EGNOS provides advantages to both farmers (higher profits margins) and society (increased food supply and more environmentally friendly agriculture). 80% of European GNSS enabled tractors are equipped with EGNOS which means alone in 2016 there were more than 16.000 new EGNOS enabled tractors. 11
WHEN SPACE MEETS AGRICULTURE | 14-15 November, Matera Galileo brings further benefits to Precision Farming
Galileo will further improve the performance of GNSS-assisted agriculture and bring benefits in every phase of the farming operation Galileo Open Service Galileo Commercial Service
• More satellites and Galileo signal design and dual • Real time corrections across the globe to improve frequency capability contribute to better operations in accuracy for your guidance and auto-steering systems harsh environment (e.g., edge of the forest, valleys) (Precise Point Positioning) • Galileo Contribution to RTK network result in an • Only constellation offering corrections directly from improved reliability, availability and accuracy providing Galileo without dependency of Internet or additional better results in guidance, auto-steering systems communication channels (including repeatability) • Sub-dm level accuracy and cm-level pass-to-pass • Cm-level accuracy for accurate vehicle travel for accuracy to improve your trajectory with convenience Control Traffic Farming (CTF) to reduce soil and and flexibility crop damage • Does not rely on proximity to ground network infrastructure • Faster convergence time due to Galileo triple frequency • Eliminate overlap and underlap, and reduce operator stress Agenda
