DirectCommandâ„¢
DirectCommandâ„¢ has revolutionized the application management process, giving you reliable application rate control that will help you minimize waste.
Complete control over liquid and granular application
Complete Control
Your resources are valuable and important. Whether you have an NH3 toolbar, Liquid N sidedress unit, sprayer, spreader or electric starter fertilizer pump on your planter, DirectCommand will transform the application process, allowing for maximum control.
Why DirectCommand?
-
Eliminate overapplication, overlap, spray drift and application gaps.
-
Increase productivity during tight application windows.
-
Reduce fuel costs and field compaction by applying multiple products at one time.
-
Target product application through crop sensing and prescription application strategies.
-
Document all field application data and provide simple reporting.
Liquid Application
Use DirectCommandâ„¢ for liquid application to eliminate overapplication, overlap, spray drift and application gaps that increase input costs and decrease yield potential.
Reduce Overapplication and Save on Input Costs
Total Liquid Application Control
-
Reduce overapplication and product waste by automatically turning the applicator sections on/off based on field boundaries and already-applied areas.
-
Reduce input costs and increase application accuracy by minimizing skips and overlaps at end rows, fence rows and along waterways.
-
Apply only where its needed with variable rate application based on prescription maps.
-
Record inputs for future reference.
Rate Control
Control, adjust and record field application based on manually entered target rates or by using rates from a variable rate prescription file. The system uses a flow meter signal and speed input from a radar or GPS receiver and reads up to three optional pressure sensors, eliminating the need to monitor pressure gauges outside the cab.
Variable Rate Application
DirectCommand allows the variable rate application of single or multiple products. The system controls application rates of liquid and granular products automatically based on geo-referenced prescription maps.
Both shape and agleader.irx files are supported for single or multiple product variable rate application
AutoSwath for Sprayers
DirectCommand's AutoSwath feature reduces overapplication and product waste by automatically turning the applicator sections on/off based on field boundaries and already-applied areas as it passes over the field. The system reduces input costs and increases application accuracy by minimizing skips and overlaps at end rows, fence rows and along waterways.
ISOBUS Liquid Control Module
Compatible with ISOBUS standards for Virtual Terminal and Task Control. This functionality allows using the system with other brands of Virtual Terminal and Task Control compatible displays.
-
Easy to use structured methods to calibrate the flow, pressure and ground speed sensors that are critical to accurate system performance.
-
Continuously monitors the relationship between product flow rates and system pressure. This permits early detection and warning in event of a sensor failing or drifting off previously calibrated baselines.
-
Settings to automate boom prime and maintain a standby pressure to ensure accurate product flow rates without lag in performance after initial machine fill and every time boom is cycled on/off/on turning around at field headlands.
-
Supports up to 24 boom sections for less overlap of product application.
Chemical Injection
Reduce potential crop damage and your exposure to chemicals and simplify system flushes. DirectCommand interfaces with Raven SCS Sidekickâ„¢ for complete control over chemical injection applications.
Additionally, enhanced calibration simplifies setup time by creating and storing calibration routines, eliminating the need to recalibrate equipment each time it's used.
Spinner Spreader Control
DirectCommandâ„¢ offers simple spinner spreader control allowing for AutoSwath, variable rate application, rate control and more.
Spinner Spreader Control Simplified
DirectCommand simplifies spinner spreader control by controlling the spinner speed, in addition to monitoring the bin level. The system reads ground speed and automatically adjusts product flow to match target application rates.
DirectCommand control modules support PWM, motorized servo, Mark IV.2, Mark IV.4 and Mark V hydraulic control valves. DirectCommand also supports application control of multiple bin spinner spreaders.
Container Sequencing
Container Sequencing for the Ag Leader® Integra display allows application of the same product (discrete products or blends) sequentially from multiple containers.
-
When product container is low or empty, system automatically advances product application to the next designated container in the sequence.
-
Supported on spinner spreader configurations.
-
User is alerted when system advances product application to the next container.
-
Intuitive setup allows container sequencing to be added to existing configurations.
-
Sequence can easily be edited to fit application needs without having to create a new configuration.
Strip-Till Application
Allow DirectCommandâ„¢ to control up to three channels of granular product using our strip-till application module.
Apply fertilizer precisely where its needed.
Total Strip-Till Fertilizer Control
-
Control up to three channels of granular product using our strip-till applicator.
-
Simultaneously control anhydrous and nitrogen stabilizer with the addition of liquid and chemical injection control modules.
-
Apply fertilizer only where it's needed based on prescription maps.
-
Record inputs for future reference.
AutoSwathâ„¢
DirectCommand's AutoSwath feature reduces overapplication and product waste by automatically turning the applicator (liquid or granular) on/off based on field boundaries and already-applied areas as it pass over the field.
