At the same time, Mide is a global leader in OEM precision positioning technology, and our customers rely on us to provide reliable, high-quality solutions to optimize growers' productivity and efficiency, save time and reduce input costs.

What is precision agriculture and precision farming?

Smart precision agriculture, also known as precision agriculture or smart farming,which is a comprehensive combination of information technology and agricultural production. Precision agriculture is a comprehensive and integrated high-tech smart agricultural application system specifically for field crop cultivation that has emerged in recent years. Agricultural activities such as seeding, spraying and harvesting require agricultural machinery with good trajectory, high gain, high precision and stability. The development of high precision positioning and navigation technology and GNSS agricultural antennas effectively realize the intelligence and mechanization of various agricultural activities, which help to improve precision agricultural productivity and help farmers to enhance production efficiency by driving agricultural machinery automatically. 

The manufacturer of GPS and GNSS devices has developed a variety of tools to help farmers and agricultural businesses improve the efficiency and productivity of precision agriculture. The high accuracy of GPS and GNSS allows farmers to create detailed farm maps that accurately identify field size, road locations, and distances between key points. With this technology, farmers can accurately navigate to specific locations in the field each growing season to take soil samples or monitor crop health. GPS and GNSS receivers can collect location information to map field boundaries, roads, irrigation systems, and identify crop problem areas such as weeds or diseases. Sprayers equipped with GPS and GNSS devices can spray precisely in the field, applying chemicals only where they are needed, reducing drift and using less, thereby better protecting the environment and improving material utilization.

Benefits in agriculture

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) offers numerous benefits in agriculture, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Here are some key advantages:

 1. Precision Farming: GNSS enables precise field mapping, allowing farmers to optimize inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides based on specific field conditions.

 2. Accurate field navigation: Accurate field navigation minimizes redundant applications and skipped areas, and enables maximum ground coverage in the shortest possible time.

 3. Automated Machinery: GNSS technology allows for the automation of machinery, enabling tasks like planting, spraying, and harvesting to be performed with high precision and reduced labor costs.

 4. Yield Monitoring: By integrating GNSS with yield monitors, farmers can assess the performance of different areas within a field, leading to targeted improvements and higher overall yields.

 5. Efficient Resource Management: GNSS helps in optimizing the use of water, fertilizers, and other resources, reducing waste and environmental impact.

 6. Real-Time Tracking: Farmers can monitor the location and status of equipment and livestock in real time, improving logistics and operational efficiency.

 7. Data Collection and Analysis: GNSS allows for the collection of spatial data, which can be analyzed to identify trends and improve future crop management strategies.

 8. Compliance and Reporting: GNSS facilitates accurate record-keeping for compliance with regulations related to pesticide use, environmental impact, and land management.

 9. Improved Crop Rotation Planning: With detailed data on soil health and crop performance, farmers can make informed decisions about crop rotation and diversification.

 10. Cost Savings: Ultimately, the efficiency gained through GNSS can lead to significant cost savings in labor, inputs, and time, making farming more sustainable and profitable.

High accuracy GNSS technologies were largely used in farming for auto guidance, auto leveling and other applications. Farmers are going to use high precision agriculture technologies in order to use less fertilizer, save cost and protect the environment.. While we can’t control the weather or crop prices, our agricultural antenna solutions can help simplify your workflows. Easier farming with precision – it's what we do.
