At this year's Agrishow 2024, New Holland is presenting FieldOps, a versatile and easy-to-use farm management web and mobile platform available for operators worldwide

The platform brings real-time monitoring, remote display viewing and intuitive user interface together into one comprehensive package to enhance how farming operations manage their data overall. New Holland FieldOps is designed to simplify a customer’s entire workflow from the moment they connect to their machines all the way through to post-season analysis. Its all-new interface streamlines workflows, simplifies farm management, and makes data accessible from anywhere.

Instead of using multiple apps to manage their mixed fleet, customers will be able to view and monitor all their machines in one place, centralizing tools like New Holland PLM Connect into one platform. This gives customers easier access to their field and farm data and provides any connected operator the ability to manage their machines from anywhere at any time, via FieldOps’ mobile or web platform.

FieldOps’ key features include real-time machine monitoring—including precise location and duty status—,remote view of in-cab displays for improved operator support, visualisation of agronomic data layers for a specific field over the course of the season and machine health and activity monitoring to quickly spot priority issues.

Bolstering the capabilities of FieldOps is the new collaboration with satellite communications leader, Intelsat, which aims to solve a large customer challenge by providing industrial-grade connectivity that is built for farming. 

The New Holland FieldOps app is currently in its final stages of development and testing, with a full release expected later this year.
