Precision Farming

Slingshot delivers — and surpasses — the main promise of precision agriculture: better productivity, greater efficiency, less waste, lower cost, greater certainty and better information through 21st Century technology. What makes Slingshot so radical is the way it delivers.

1. SLINGSHOT RTK.
The Slingshot Field Hub is designed to work with all major cell phone networks in North America and is built to industrial grade standards — tough enough to handle pretty much any conditions you run it through. With an annual online subscription, the hub lets you tap Slingshot’s advanced RTK correction signals — featuring repeatable accuracy across a territory of more than 2 million acres through a single data source. The hub also serves up high-speed Internet on your field computers, which opens all kinds of new services, security and power you just won’t find anywhere else. The Field Hub even works with traditional CORS network signals.

2. SLINGSHOT ONLINE
No matter how remote the job, Slingshot keeps vehicle operators connected to the rest of the world via high-speed Internet. That means all kinds of control, power and certainty in near real time via the Web — an industry first. Store all your field and application data in a secure database you can access any time, anywhere with a simple web browser. Observe your fleet and manage operations with any laptop, desktop or mobile computer in any county, any town, any time zone in the world. If you’ve got an Internet connection, you’ve got control. With your data online in a secure Slingshot account (that can update in near-real-time), you can track vehicle locations, make on-the-fly changes to work orders like prescription maps, and monitor, collect and analyze data from all your assets at the place and time that works for you. You can even look back at maps and records of work performed throughout the season, one year to the next. Best of all, Slingshot Online connects operators to Slingshot’s support team, based right here in North America, without ever leaving the cab. If there’s an issue, we’re there in real time to diagnose it, fix it or walk that operator through it. Suddenly, downtime and work stoppage start to seem like an old, bad joke.

3. SLINGSHOT + RAVEN HARDWARE
