CNH Industrial AGXTEND platform fully unveiled

The AGXTEND innovation platform is officially available since January 1st, 2019.

Through cooperation with start-ups and technology companies, the platform is to help further advance digitalisation in agriculture. In this way, AGXTEND gives CNH Industrial the opportunity to put innovations into practice quickly and easily through strategic partnerships.

Huge potential of precision farming

“With AGXTEND, we want to further exploit the huge potential of precision farming applications,” says Maximilian Birle, Head of Product Management AGXTEND.

“A multitude of special solutions, a lack of networking of different brands and a lack of availability of new technologies still leave a lot of room for improvement in this sector. AGXTEND offers a new approach that takes up this challenge and simplifies everyday agricultural work”.

Unite start-ups under the AGXTEND umbrella

Since the official launch, several start-ups have signed contracts to supply CNH Industrial with their technologies, with a focus on a partnership-based relationship. In the future, the goal is to unite further disruptive start-ups under the AGXTEND umbrella. Partners include not only start-ups, but also experienced partners from various sectors of the economy:

• AppsforAgri: Together with AppsforAgri, AGXTEND offers the FarmXtend solution – environmental sensors with added value. The user benefits from a reliable 14-day weather forecast from the system’s weather station and intuitive and simple decision making aids via the app.

Complete package

According to CNH INdustrial, AGXTEND not only offers many different revolutionary technologies, but also a complete package. “The universal platform approach aids the interaction of the different products to achieve more efficiency and simplified work steps, to enable farmers and contractors to benefit directly from the new technologies in practice,” says the company.

These technologies can not only be used with the standard farm vehicle platform, the tractor, but are ‘robotready’, says CNH Industrial.
