ZimmComm is happy to announce Raven Industries as our newest sponsor. Raven is taking a big leap into the support of cutting edge information distribution by becoming our first AgWired iPhone App sponsor! Don’t have the AgWired App on your iPhone yet? Then what are you waiting for? If you’ve already got the AgWired App then make sure you get our latest update when you sync with iTunes next! And for you Android fans, we’re working on that right now and will be announcing availability in the Android Market soon.
At the recent AG CONNECT Expo I spoke with Ryan Molitor, Raven Applied Technologies Marketing Supervisor (pictured left). This is the precision ag division of the company. Here’s what Ryan says about their sponsorship.
“As a cutting edge technology provider, we’re very excited to be a part of the AgWired app. News and information is more and more readily available, and we are happy to be part of the leading edge of delivering it.”
I asked him what’s new. He says they recently introduced eight new products. One that he highlights is their Envizio Pro II field computer. It controls all functions of the tractor through one console.
Ryan says all their field computers are internet ready and points to their Slingshot field hub product. This is a product that would get my attention in today’s connected world. Benefits include:
* Wireless RTK correction signals via cellular networks for universal access to sub-inch accuracy
* ZERO line-of-site RTK signal limitations provide uninterrupted operation and convenience
* Real-time communications and data sharing with any computer anywhere ensures better data, better decisions and more productivity in the field
* Seamless data transfer from the field to secure online accounts
* Remote capabilities for changing settings and profiles from distant locations
* Remote live support via high-speed Internet slashes downtime and operator error
* Compatible with both Raven and non-Raven precision ag equipment.
